It seems that Habitat for Humanity is inextricably linked with my quizzing at the moment. Last night, less than two weeks since our event in Ennis, I found myself taking part in another Habitat quiz. This time the venue was The Huntsman Inn, Galway. It was a nice, small quiz but run pretty well. I [...]

I know what you’re thinking. “Surely there can’t be any rounds left from the Habitat for Humanity quiz?!” Well, I’m afraid you’re wrong. And there’s still one to go after this! Even though this one here may seem a little out of date at this point. To explain, this round was originally called On This [...]
