This weeks quiz clashed with the England v Germany match and when the football’s on, the ranks of the Royal Blokes are usually boosted by Maurice and Tubbs – Maurice because Mrs Moss doesn’t want him at home watching the match and having a drink, so he’s banished to the pub; Tubbs because Mrs Tubbs doesn’t want him at home while she’s watching the match and having a drink, so he’s banished to the pub as well. However, it was not the case this week – something is obviously amiss somewhere!

Also, somewhere on your screen, dependant on which platform you are using (smartphone, tablet, PC etc.) there is a ‘FOLLOW’ button – click on this and you can be automatically advised when the weekly blog is published}
Badly Written Questions
(apologies for the short and slightly delayed blog this week – life took over again)
Back at the quiz this week after my two week enforced sabbatical. Given the date I was expecting a Guy Fawkes themed quiz, with rounds like Top Ten favourite Popes (Alexander VI is mine) and having to guess the intro for songs like Knife Party and Katy Perry. Alas it was not to be and a normal quiz ensued.
1,000 channels and nothing on

This is the second week running I’ve not been to the quiz. This week it was because I was in London. Now, I don’t mind London (probably because I don’t have to live there) and I’ve spent many a night out in pubs dotted around the capital, all going back to the days when I worked for companies based in and around the city itself. And I seem to remember a decent music quiz at The Ten Bells in Whitechapel – a memorable pub for a number of reasons, if not only for the Latin ‘no pissing up the wall’ sign on the church opposite.
