Hmm, went to the rotary club quiz this week, it's a major affair for them, bigger than most quizzes we have done. There were 42 teams, we were table number 42. The meaning of life, and also my age, a good omen, yes? Six rounds of ten questions, plus a picture round, which were actually Hollywood themed dingbats / catchphrase type things. They were quite hard for a start. We played our joker on the third round out of six, that meant double points for that round, so at that stage we were in the lead, first out of 42. Then as the other teams played their jokers on the other rounds, and we continued to perform quite mediocrely we slipped and slipped. We came about eighth in the end, not bad, but not commendable. I think last time we did this giant quiz we came fourth, though then the team was Clare, Pauline, Dean and me. This time it was Uncle Frank, Chris from the Ship, Mike the judge, and me.
A fun night out (out on a Wednesday, imagine) but it would have been nice to come back with a prize.
