The Inland Revenue Win A Quiz!!

First there were Jason and the ArgoNUTS. Then came The Tailenders. Last quiz we were known as Slash and Burn. The joy that was had at nearly beating The Tax Dodgers inspired Jim to come up with a new name for yesterday's quiz at the local... the Inland Revenue. And we won! I know, we've won once before but that was after a tie break question. This time we won easily. Mwhahahahaha.

Oh how things have changed from coming consistently and embarrassingly last. Mmm... £20 drink/food voucher is ours! :D

So as a present, here's a picture of my current favourite rugby player, Danny Care!

Music Quiz



Another late night session in the local last night where Jim and I were corralled into doing the monthly music quiz. Whilst we are occasional dabblers in the normal quiz, as The Tailenders, we have avoided the music quiz like the plague since the first and only time we did it. That time there were questions like "Listen to this song" *plays 1950s obscure song* "What was the B side?"

But this time Denis was doing it so it was hard but not impossible (unlike that quiz I did...) and with a little help from a random stranger called Richard our new "team" Slash and Burn didn't come last! Quite an achievement given our terrible quiz history ;)

So the news from the Eastern front (i.e. home) is not good. The break down of the marriage has not gone at all well and the usual family drama is playing out in the ever so predictable fashion. Money, power and jilted spouses do not a pretty divorce make.
