Trivia
Dec 16th
Back at the Strawb (if you don’t count last week which I missed) and still a formidable force! We had one of the better turn-outs for trivia, that I have borne witness to, for some time. Mike and Josee. Bruce. Pete. Jacques. Neil. This was, as it turned out, a trivia dream team. At least in the first round where we notched up a perfect score of 29 points.
We ended up winning and claiming the somewhat smaller (damn the GFC!) cash prize and a load of drink vouchers from Bruce’s Heads or Tails streak and Pete’s Who Am I? triumph.
Highlights…
My suggestion for a Roy Orbison song containing “Man” in the title was met with skepticism. Justifiable since my initial call was “Honky-Tonk Man”.
Bruce going for the $15 barbeque grill platter. Sausage, steak, ribs and fries which everybody was eyeing off for future consideration.
Listening to the host attempt to pronounce Equatorial Guinea and Dostoevsky.
Evolution Of A Letterbox
Dec 14th
The culmination of three years of steady procrastinating, one aborted attempt and a “temporary” mail box eaten away by rust. Not bad for a complete amateur. Even if some of the edges do look a little non-conformist.
