Rocky - Not a hen
Last Friday night, along with my mrs and two of our two friends, David and Rena, I took part in a table quiz organised by the Social Club of our local county council. David used to work in said council.
The quiz took place in a (very brightly lit) back room of the Queens Hotel, Ennis. It wasn’t a very big room, which was handy for the host, who had to shout out the questions. Obviously someone had forgotten to book an amplifier!
All in all, we had a fun night. For almost the entire time, my only bug bear would have been standard of questions. Almost all were far too easy, apart from maybe one in each round, which would be damn near impossible. Perhaps this was to make up for the preceding questions? Consider: our team were two points behind the leaders a half-time (5 rounds). At the start of the final round (9, weirdly) we were still two points behind the leaders – almost everyone had gotten straight 10s for rounds 6 through 8!
