A Night of Revelry and Suspect Underwear
Well, the final quiz (or at least the final one with Rob and I in charge) went off on Tuesday and much fun it was too.
Surprisingly the place was absolutely packed which we really hadn’t expected. You’d have thought that what with people going away for Christmas and so on it’d have been a bit subdued, but no… whilst we didn’t push past our best ever number of teams, we were only one away from it.
And the booze flowed rather freely it must be said. Thank you to all those who bought us drink – even if I was struggling to drink it towards the end.
But what was most touching was that our most seasoned regulars – Team Nick Chips – who have been represented at pretty much every single one for the last 100 weeks got us presents. Which we then had to apportion out between us in a lucky-dip stylee. Thankfully I was too drunk to get too emotional but I find myself smiling in a sentimental way by it even now.
Although maybe I shouldn’t have put the prize Thong round my neck. I completely forgot about it and didn’t rediscover it until I got home.
Sadly this means that the fit guy on the tube wasn’t actually staring at me in a “cor, I’d like some of that” way after all. It was clearly a more “cor, look at that drunken idiot with the thong round his neck” kind of stare.
Never mind, eh?
And what will I be doing with my time now? Well… for one thing I’m discovering the joys of sleeping in a bit of a weekend. And for another my creative juices are being once more turned towards writing. 2009 is going to be the year Daniel and I get ourselves out there, I swear!
