I would have failed miserably.
Well, not so miserably - I would have had a good time, with good company, failing.
Sid...don't worry about failure. Better to go down in a blaze of glory with all your mates around, eh?
I'll have another pub quiz in the next few months - you jump in if you can - there are no rules against cheating, colluding or ganging up on the Quizmaster...
I for the next Pub Quiz, I'm going enlist not only Agnes, but also see if I can recruit Sid and SML to my team....
I have a strategery going on here...
P.S. Looking forward to my prize!
