[grendel]

dont tempt me Wyndham

[Polly]

I will have my anorak out and ready.....

[grendel]

well I have another 3 rounds of questions formulated, some will be easy, some not so easy, now I would post the categories up, but I cant remember the 3 I have already done, and I might want to play with the round titles on the ones I have just completed, so once I have done that i will post a notification, so you can swot up on what you think the subjects will be.

[FairTmiddlin]

Now that's what we need a Quizmaster who cannot remember.

Ummmmmm

... _ _ _ ...

[grendel]

thats why I have the questions written down (currently on two sheets- one at work and one at home.) I have a vague idea of the first 3 sets of questions (well 2 of them anyway)

[grendel]

Ah now I think about it I can remember all 3 sets

[grendel]

but just to keep you all happy I have managed to get a complete spare section ready as well. so now I can pick and choose between two of the sections for questions for one section just to make things interesting.

[Polly]

I'd feel a bit guilty at opening the door for this interesting QM but how was I to know that the rest of those present were tolally illiterate when it came to Discworld? Shocking! 

(wanders off humming The Hedgehog Song)

[grendel]

responds with the wizards staff song

[grendel]

to be fair Polly, you werent to know that I have read and listened to all of the books several times either. fancy me not thinking of the spelling of wizzard on Rincewinds hat straight away though.

[grendel]

OK here we go, after a bit of juggling with the questions - discarding a few, moving a few to the spare / tiebreaker stack, we have some round headings.

Round 1 - Today

Round 2 - Fictional Space

Round 3 - Cats

Rest Break

Round 4 - Planets

Round 5 - Dont Panic

Round 6 - Sheer Lunacy

Dont worry there are some easy questions in there (and some atrociously hard ones because I know you all like that)

so see you all at the quiz, normal place 8.30pm Friday

(now off to rearrange the questions to lull you into thinking it will be easy with the first one of each section)
