Quiz night rolls inexorably on & with it another (hopefully not futile) attempt to get it written before Tuesday afternoon!

'tis about all things red....but as the picture illustrates, one must beware of red herrings!

If you're a quiz regular, you should know by now that the titles are intended to give just the merest hint of what is in store & that I very much enjoy going off on a tangent or two....

Think it's going to be a belter (if modesty allows me to say so) & with the free entry & great prizes factored in - don't miss it!

Playing for the usual sweetie & boozy round prizes & then the big one - SUPREME QUIZ WINNERS - bottle of fizz, original 'modern' art by Chris & the chance to pick from one of the four remaining boxes - one of which contains £160!

Blimey. hope to see you at the bar, Tuesday 28th @ 9.30pm. Right, I guess I'm off to write a QUIZ.....
