As you may have read in the comments, your trusty clueless team came a creditable third in the quiz.No., not out of three , how very dare you! But 12 teams.
Yes, friends, we were amazed too.
We had 8 people on our table including John and his wife Margaret who were very sweet but really quite useless because they werent brave enough even to make suggestions .And I did try and encourage them, I was the scribe.We were on fire! Especially with the "identify 45 celebrity faces" round.This was thanks in no mean way to another team member, a lovely Swedish lady called Uta.She was there with her husband, a retired managing director type who found the whole thing a bit childish Im sure. (Mostly because he didnt know any answers) Uta , on the other hand, was quite prepared to spy for the team and whilst on the pretext of getting some grub, looked at another teams paper to get the final name.It was in fact , D'Arcy Bussell.I defy any of those reading to have recognised this young pic.Any way, Uta, queen of espionage, allowed us to get 45 instead of 44.
Now I know you may be thinking, but thats cheating, and you are of course right.
However, you had to be there because we were being marked down by our rivals.We had to swap answers and when they saw we were getting too close (they came First) they marked some correct answers wrong.
Shameful, for a team who were supposed to be good Christians!
Uta named and shamed them, saying in a very loud voice with a beautiful swedish accent
"You hef been markink us down all eefnink!"
We all parted good friends in the end , although the winners did look daggers at us when the whole hall turned round at Utas voice.
Cant wait till next year.
First place or bust.
I jest of course.
