    Hmm I wonder what all the team names will be about tonight?

    In fairness, aren't we the only ones who takes a topical name? But no, I won't be there tonight - work and illness have intervened to keep me home

    (And wowzers, that's big news)

    Joint third out of 5 teams with 56 points, my fellow 3rd place team had five members. The team that won had 8 members so G docked them 5 points which meant that our old (old) rivals won . Quite pleased with myself :-)

    Ah damnit, the return of G means that the jokey nickname I coined last week would have been a goer - what name did you end up using?

    There were 5 teams including the giant one so the room was pretty full, which was a good sign.

    A little off topic, but back home I was mad for watching the chase on UTV, went on to their site and they're accepting applications, I sent one off, could be a laugh!

    Yes of course. Silvervixen84 will be along tonight so drop her a PM but basically we meet upstairs in the North London Tavern at 8pm.

    Sorry I'm not going to make it tonight. Just realised i'm woefully underprepared for the Lake District in February so need to go buy too much adventure-style gear.

    Yeah, why not. It wasn't GK this week, or even Dan. It was mini Kenneth Brannagh.

    I realised when I got home after that I put the wrong Gibb brother in the team name - it should have been Barry. Oh well, no-one noticed last night!

    I think I'd do the Sunday or Monday night one but not both. Tbh this week Monday night would be easier for myself & Fysh. How about we hit the Sunday night quiz next weekend?
