We are the champions (almost)
About a month ago I started taking part in a weekly pub quiz on a regular basis at Tapas in Hillcrest. Before the quiz, our team had supper at the neighbouring Bangkok Wok. I had the massaman curry, which is a muslim/Indian influenced curry. I'm happy I tried it, because now I'm fairly sure that's what we were served at the Silom Village Inn in Bangkok in 1999 - we were never told what they served us :-)
Anyway... the core of the team is myself, Pkeike and Wordsout, and our team is named "3 Musketeers". The average team size I would guess is 5.5. The first week we came dead last out of 11 teams (if I remember correctly). The following week we came 8th out of 9 teams, and then, with an extra member (stephanve, hence we were named 3 Musketeers Plus Plus), 7th out of 11. Last night, with 5 members (budgie and Al, hence the name +- 3 Musketeers), we ended up in SECOND PLACE out of 9 teams! The quiz was a little different though, with the picture section having movie posters instead of famous people, and the music section was a little easier. Nevertheless, we were very chuffed, and walked away with an R80.00 meal voucher.
