    Thumbs up a new quiz night 27/7/10 2100

    I am willing to give a different evening quiz a try, so I have a set of simple general knowledge questions ready, and with a slightly different rules. Instead of the winner being the next quizzy, the one with the lowest score will be the next quizzy.
    All are welcome

    Lets hope it works

    If someone wants to watch rather than take part all they need to do is let quizzie know.

    Wouldn't want to make anyone feel unwelcome.
    Some people are like Slinkies. They're really good for nothing. But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

    Aye nothing worse than an unwelcoming atmosphere changi!

    Just hope no-one in the spectators' seats gets trigger happy and answers a question - they could find themselves bein a reluctant quizzie!

    Good luck wi yer innovations golach!
