After
two years in the hands of the Smoke Fairies (a.k.a. SPW)
Chunky win back the WIST Champions Cup for Stockport
WIST Champions Cup -
The
Result
A
cracking evening at the Cricket Club saw Chunky just nip in at
the finish and beat our own Bards by 2 points. The lead
switched to and fro
throughout the evening and it was hard to predict
how it would end. In the event (as has
often happened in these games) the Stockport team fared slightly
better on the WithQuiz style rounds whilst the WithQuiz team led
on the Stockport style questions. Tony, Sarah, Steve and
Jim were supported by a WithQuiz fan club of 7 but slipped up on
Round 5 Question 7 - the crucial trucial question. Chunky
nipped in with a 'pass over' bonus point and never looked back.
WIST Champions Cup -
The
Paper
I Blame Smoke Fairies
set the paper on behalf of WithQuiz and it was a good'un. With
the Smoke Fairies/SPW so rarely being knocked out of our
competitions over the years we have not often had
the
benefit of their setting skills in the later stages of the season.
This year they just missed out on everything so were free to set.
At the end it was clear what a good job they'd done from the praise
heaped on the paper - and indeed the general standard of WithQuiz
papers - by the Stockport crew. Chunky John (who used to play
in our own Amboss team many moons ago) was particularly
complimentary.
The Question of the
Week
This week
I'm going to ignore the recommendations of the two teams and go for
the fun question at the end of the paper - Spares Question 8:
Merkozy has been replaced by what?

The
Chatterbox
If you can't stand being quizless
for 4 months or so then there's always the Albert Club monthly quizzes - the
slightly less intense one is on the third Sunday of each month whereas the
toughie is always on the last Monday of the month. Both start at 8.30pm.
If I don't see you there then au revoir until late September - and of course let
me know of any new/retiring teams for next years' competition.
Cheers.
