Pete’s dad is not around this week. Sadly it seems he’s vital to a successful pub quiz as we struggle this time to match our blistering form of a couple of weeks ago. We are fourth more or less throughout, and in the end we miss out on the money by a scant point. It’s the worst possible place to finish, and there’s not even the consolation of being able to bitch at each other for insisting on wrong answers because no-one did that this week.

It’s not all disaster though - we win the beer round. It’s always been our forte, especially since we developed the average method for the tiebreaker. Everyone simply writes down the number they want to guess, and the answer we give is the average. It’s amazing how often the technique succeeds. We get the connection between the five beer round answers (they were all mentioned in the ”Only Fools and Horses” theme tune), and the average technique sees off the opposition on the tiebreaker and sends us to the bar to enjoy 10 pounds worth of the finest drinks the Prince of Wales can offer.
