The Curious Case...
...of a different quiz from normal.
The Old White Swan had a football quiz last night, and this not being quite my specialist subject (or for any of the Spinach team), we went on tour.
A much more difficult quiz than we're used to, but also a lot more sedate. (And quite a bit more cheating from other teams - I'm fairly sure the winning team who were sat behind me managed to get a couple of points off us.)
Typical questions (all of which we got wrong!) :
1. In which year did Superman first appear on TV?
2. In which year was the first crossing of the English Channel by plane?
3. Terry Collier was one of the Likely Lads - who was the other?
4. In which sport would you perform a Christie?
Answers on a postcard please.
I've also recently finished "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time." This was a book that lots of people have recommended to me. I was slightly underwhelmed. It was good, but not that brilliant. It's certainly well-written, but it just didn't really click with me.
