We took part in a local quiz night at the hotel where we have joined the fitness centre. Every Monday night they have one and I feel it will become a regular event for us from now on. Now as my friends and family will tell you I like a bit of niggle a little bit of competition in these types of events. Trust me I pale in comparison to my esteemed team mates. We started well and were leading in the first 2 of the 3 round competition. You got 1 point per question for the first round, 2 for the second and 3 for the third. Unfortunately for us the quiz master obviously came from an English background and that led to our downfall. The NZ advantage went out the window when the only question that was about our part of the world was a map of New Zealand on a piece of paper asking contestants to name the country…really hard for those people who came from other parts of the world. Whereas we need to name the team who won the 1898 english football league.. Well my colleagues got a bit tictchy with the guy at the table next to ours who utilizing the technology available was googling away on his G3 mobile. I would of given him extra points fro creativity. Not my team after looks of disgust they went and complained to the judge. Come on guys, build a bridge, get over it. It’s just a game…. Does that sound like me??
