Enjoyed the Sunday quiz last night, despite the ever increasing pain. With Thirteen teams participating we scored a total of 63/70, but it was only enough for a tie in First place. The 'Tie break' question was 'How many episodes did Tom Baker appear as Dr Who'?. 'The Jackdaws' put 350, while we competing as 'Dry Roasted' put 180. We change our name each time, and last night my mate was eating 'Dry Roasted nuts' and a novel name was created. We usually have names like 'Three Stooges', Four of a Kind', 'Famous Five' etc. But also have random names wherever possible. Back to the tie break. The correct answer was 172, so we won. After returning home victorious, I then tryed to get to sleep in bed, only for my pain to increase to unbearable propertions. I decided to get up and did'nt return to the 'Wanking Pit' until 2.00. I still struggled to sleep due to pain and a racing mind. I hope I am not going to have to put 'Insomnia' on my list of health problems. This and everything else I have to put up with is making me ponder my whole existance, and even brings back the rather negative but relevant thought of is suicide actually painless.?
Its back to the serious 'Quiz League' tonight, with an away match at 'Bank House A' in 'Hixon'. Athough I have a lift, this is One of the longer journeys we have to endure. Part of me wants to cry off, but I have had to give up so many hobbies, that I am determined to keep my quizzing alive. Will take extra painkillers, and hope for the best. It is usually a 'humdinger' when we play these, as there captain 'Nigel' has caused controversy in the past. He queries more questions and answers in One match than other captains do in a whole season. They are however, still One of the better teams, so there is added satisfaction when we occasionaly beat them.
