Me and Stu make the trek up to Highgate for the quiz tonight. There are a staggering number of teams in the house tonight, and we do very badly. In the end, we finish about 15th out of 17, just ahead of a team of jokers who weren’t taking it seriously and a team who gave up before the end.

There’s always the snowball to hope vainly for. I’ve taken to buying two tickets instead of one these days, which makes me twice as angry when my number doesn’t come up. The £1000 question is, who was the first Prime Minister of Nigeria after it gained independence? I wish my number had been drawn because I’m the only person in the pub who knows it’s Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa. And then to compound my woes, someone wins £250 on the third question.
