"Does anyone have any actual knowledge on this?"

As many of you will already know, last night saw the final of the 16th Oxford Inter-Collegiate Quiz. As chocaholic7 took some delight in pointing out, this was my seventh outing in that particular competition. The results can be seen here.

In summary - we (SJC A) made it to the final fairly easily, and were then comprehensively out-played by Balliol. I can't really be terribly upset about the loss, though - not when we lost to such a very good team. It's appropriate that Balliol should win this year, as they'll be keeping the current trophy (which will be full with their name added again). Having won the competition six times in the last nine years, no one else deserves that trophy.

Highlights of Finals night:
- The person formerly known as omap identifying 1963 on the basis of a white paper on railways, causing every quiz geek in the room to look at him and think "saddo."
- Questions on Radio 4!
- The Weakest Drink afterwards

As ever when thinking of the ICQ, many thanks go to the above-mentioned chocaholic7, whose heroic efforts produced the questions for this year's competition and to ktroo85, now officially known as Morris Oxford, who was the tournament director.

:) I'm not commenting....

- The Weakest Drink afterwards

Was most amusing, certainly one to be remembered!

Please do apologise to Shreena on my behalf for my appaling aim. The Haribo was meant to hit Mr glottalstop not her!

Join us at the same time and same place next week for more weakest drinking after the AGM.

The quotes from last night are brilliant. Were you still there at the point when Roman let slip that he dressed as Princess Leia the day the new star wars film came out? I have some wonderful material for quiz about quiz at the end of next term.

But weren't three or four of those because of Ian Bailey? :)

Three were the work of Dr Bayley, and three the work of Mr Baker (whom I'm sure we should now call "Mini-me").

With, it must be said, able assistance from Mr. Steinbaum and his vast knowledge of ragtime.
