Week 90? Are you serious?
How have we managed to keep this thing going for 90 weeks? That’s a wet sack of madness. I’ve been running the quiz since Week 25, and somehow I haven’t flung myself off a cliff. Haven’t even been tempted, pals. That said, the 100th JOE Friday Pub Quiz is on the horizon, so if you see me hanging around Dover in August, have a word. Or give me a shove.
Anyway, let’s jump off that bridge when we come to it. Round One this week is Nicknames, followed by Sport. Round Three is… ah, do you know what? I can’t remember. Round Three is a surprise this week. Round Four, AKA the Picture Round, is on the Muppets, and then to finish the banquet, we’ll be having coffee, liqueurs and a generous slice of General Knowledge.
