Campaign to run next year’s boat race on the Shatt al-Arab
Confused by the picture round, we flounder in the main quiz and by the end of round two we’ve long since abandoned any hope of money. After failing to win the beer round, we have to hand in the picture round. We have mostly put down random names and have no clue about the connection that Dave the quizmaster claims exists between the answers. When the answers are read out we’ve got three, and somehow everyone else in the pub has done far, far better. I hear people tittering when our score is read out.
Between round three and four, as we slip yet further down the rankings, Dave passes by on his way to the bar. “Was it you guys who only got three on the picture round?”, he asks. Yes, we say, irritably. “I can’t believe how badly you did!”, says Dave. Thanks Dave. Round four does occasionally see us make a dramatic comeback. Not tonight.
