I had another extra quiz night tonight at the Gyngleboy pub. As opposed to the "swap your papers" method at the Victoria, The Gyngleboy uses the "turn in the answer sheet"method of scoring so I don't have any of the quiz questions and answers so I'll do my best to remember a few. Needless to say I was rubbish.
Bill worked late so he couldn't join us but I was an honorary Orchestra with Jerry, Jules, Kat and Mike.
I didn't even think to take out the camera until the picture round. Name the breed! Christin??
Kat knows her dogs.
Our dog answers. We got 9 out of 10 (we missed #7 - Siberian Husky).
Our quiz master was Nelli. Across the room were my Bathurst Mews pals. Their team name was The Archers which I assumed was for the radio drama but it's origin was actually the old pub they used to quiz in called The Archery.
Mike turned out to be a geography savant - whipping up names like Borneo without a moment's hesitation.
