FORTY
NOTES FUND QUIZ - THURSDAY 29/06/2006 |
|
|
|
IMAGES |
| Two
years on from the last quiz, and it was time
again for the Crocs and 'Team Turienzo' to enter
the fray and attempt to claim the crown of quiz
kings. With Stewart, Witham and McCarthy joined
by Mr Chris 'Damanclay' Clayton, and a selection
of McCarthy's guests, the team were confident of
winning. Unfortunately, it would end in embarrassment
for the Crocs, after McCarthy and his guest
Charlie turned up shockingly drunk following the
completion of exams |
| Mode
of Transport: |
We
arrived separately for security purposes, with
McCarthy and guests taking the train and Stewart
and Witham arriving via bus |
| Team: |
Rounded
tables ensured there was no opportunity for a
formation, but the Crocs lined up Clayton,
Witham, Stewart, McCarthy, Humphreys, Moran,
Vickers |
| Kit: |
There
was no formal kit used by the Crocs on this
occasion |
| Mark
McGhee's Attire: |
Mr
McGhee was not present at today's quiz, so one
can only guess what he was wearing, although we
would like to think it would be nothing |
| Weather: |
A
fine summers day was on offer with hot weather,
cooled down via the air conditioning system
inside the arena |
| Stadium
Rating: |
The
Old Ship hotel was slightly more up market than
the previous venue of The Ladies Mile Pub, with
a fine carpet and decor. Unfortunately, the labyrinth
of corridors proved to be slightly confusing, as
Kev 'The Ape' Ticehurst found out when he
managed to end up in the kitchens when
attempting to find the toilet. 7/10 |
| Food
Rating: |
No
food was experienced within the arena, but the
drinks were overpriced. 3/10 |
| Entertainment: |
The
Quiz Master did a rather good job of entertaining
the fans, while the raffle also provided light
relief from the taxing effort of the quiz. 7/10 |
| Friendliness
of Locals: |
Extremely
friendly, but with a room full of Brighton fans
this was to be fully expected. 9/10 |
| Standard
of Local Females: |
There
was a rather disappointing lack of females in
the arena today, although we pursued the classic
line of questioning when a young lady offered us
raffle tickets at £1 for a strip, pondering if
that was the top or the bottom |
| Flag
Attention: |
Both
McCarthy and Stewart forgot to bring the flags |
| Match
Report: |
With
McCarthy and Charlie slightly on the drunk side
of the equation, it was always going to be
difficult for the rest of Team Turienzo to
perform to a high standard without those two
models of intellect taking part. However, the
team did well enough to earn a mid table finish |
| Thought
of the Day: |
None |
