This week, for a change we tried the Sunday quiz at Saltwood Castle (the pub, not the actual castle), seeing as we had Monday off so could really make a night of it. And we took the pot, of 120 quid, nice one!
  
  Not sure whether to head straight back there again, as we do have a habit of doing well in a quiz on the first week and then never living up to that. Maybe next bank holiday...
  
  Rest of the weekend really did rock too.

- The Famous Ship Inn (65 Sandgate High Street, Sandgate, Folkestone, Kent) Quiz The quiz at the ship is GREAT, surprise question master this week was the wife's cousin, but I SWEAR this is not how we won. It all came down to a tie breaker in the end, set by the landlord (who is not a relation) on how much the bus fair was from Barcelona airport to the town...
  
  It's a friendly quiz, but I'm not sure how friendly it's going to stay if we win again next week. Might have to put more effort into a funny team name and less into the questions, as some of the players there seem to do. Man, they do not like Dave the Dolphin for some reason...
