QuizList

From thinking about TV quizzes last week I progressed to thinking about the kind of people you meet at quizzes.  Often you don’t know their names so among ourselves we sometimes come up with a nickname to make it clear(ish) who we’r referring to.  Let’s see, we had ‘The Big Eejit 1′, ‘The Big Eejit 2′, ‘The Big Eejits’ (plural), the ‘Ancient Mariner’, ’Flat Eric’,  ’Free Gorgeous’ (so called because of his pronunciation of ‘Three Gorges’), ‘Professor Plum’ (so called because of his pronunciation in general), ‘Postman Prat (with his black and white can…)’ and many others, one of which is slightly politically incorrect so deleted.  Mind you, we do seem to have steered clear generally of political incorrectness, unless any of ‘The Big Eejits’ are of Irish extraction – not so far as I have noticed.

News otherwise:  go to ‘One-off quizzes’ for details of one on 2 June.  And be prepared for a shortage of quizzes during the World Cup, as might be expected….
