We are the champions (well, this month at any rate)

St Hubert

We gathered together a little team of six for this month's pub quiz. We quite look forward to these little gatherings and it's good exercise for the little grey cells.

This month's categories included Music, Literature, Rivers, Spelling and Nature. We usually learn something new. For example do you know that bees have five eyes? That's nice, they can obviously see all around them. But hang on. We have looked it up now here. That's all very well but where exactly are these eyes? We found a dead bee in the cellar yesterday and took a look at it, but I couldn't see five eyes. They must be well hidden. And do you know how many whiskers a cat has? 12, 18 or 24. I insisted it was 24 (although I suspect the Little Bar Steward and Misty Moo have even more than that), but the other two ladies on the team insisted that it couldn't possibly be that many. Herrrumph!

Well, despite that, we won. Only by 2 points, but hey ho, who cares. We are delighted to be the proud owners (for a month) of a very tasteful champions cup, and were even more delighted to be presented with this month's first prize, a jar of honey, three bottles of wine, a cigarette lighter each and a pair of pale green knickers.

No, I have no idea.

The wine has been donated towards our friend's 'bit of a do' for Christmas, the honey came home with us and the knickers are, I believe, tucked away in a drawer somewhere south of here.
