We decided to go to a Quiz Night at Tealby village hall with the usual suspects but like all Quizzes you never know what the quiz master is going to be like or how relevant the questions are going to be. Generally our team in its present format is not good on sport but we get by on general knowledge.
Well the compere was hopeless, loud and not in command of the hall – for one question he pronounced the word valour as velour and didn’t really understand the question he was asking. What really hacked us off was that we knew it was a charity quiz and happily paid our £5 per person but then they wanted another £2 per person to take part in the wine tasting round. We all declined and said we’d just score zero however the organisers decided that we could participate without paying more. The raffle was undertaken with a strong-arm tactic and even though we bought £5 worth per couple we were pushed again at the break so we politely said “no thanks” but thought “bugger off”.
Well we got 13 out of the first 30 questions and 10 out of 10 for the last round. We scored a total of 35 out of possible 63 and came fourth. Talk about make you feel inadequate so where did the other 20 teams come because we were rubbish or more to the point the questions were rubbish. Still, it got us out of the house.
