Didn't go see the band in Hythe last night, did the quiz at The Grand instead. It's an easy one, so though we did quite well, we didn't do well enough. We dropped six questions out of 36, two on our vital joker round, so no meal for four prize for us...

End of an era

Now we've moved to Farringdon Road, I don't think there's any good reason for me to get the 106 again. So I'll say goodbye to it, I think the service must have improved in the 18 months I've been getting it, since I doubt I've got easier to please in...
