"It's not about the winning, or taking part!! It's all about the CHEESE!" {Jamie Brook 2013}
Chris and Liza shared out the wine, I was being good so only had a dribble or 9 and we were off. The Company quiz 2013 was underway. And we couldn't have been put with a better team. The three of us plus Sooz (Fly goddess), Davin (Company Manager), Mr Chris Harvard (long time Yvonne Arnaud crew - and husband to Vicky) and Jenny ( former, yet still much loved YA Crew)! A-team!
Unfortunately our preoccupation with the cheese did seem to hinder our efforts. Round One and a grand total of 1 point.... But bloody hell the first round was hard.
We had lots of "oh I TOLD YOU!" after the answers we're read out and plenty of banter between our team, all between moreish mouthfuls of the soured curds! The quiz itself was as ever fantastic and very well put together and hosted by Vicky and Scott... With a little featurette, starring Mr PG.
We even had mandatory controversy....
"How many cinderella pantos this year?" Came the question.
"38" said I.... Come on I work on the celebrate Panto project.
"37" the 'official' comeback..... Ooooh was I miffed. I checked it later! I was right!! Extra point miss?
But here's the biggest shocker of the evening. Happy and content with our nibblets, I predicted we may have pulled it back a tad, since our dismal opening round. We were last from bottom last year and thought we may top out at third or fourth from bottom... Nope. 9th, 8th, 7th, 6th and 5th place all passed... We waited to hear our name!! 4th and 3rd - nothing! "they've forgotten us!" 2nd?! NO!!! LADIES AND JELLYSPOONS.... WE ONLY BLOODY WON!!!! First place, a shot of port to celebrate and £98 between us!!! What a result!!
And the secret of our success.... CHEESE!
