Have you ever participated in a 'Just for fun' Quiz Night? I don't think there is such a thing. Sure, it may start off being light hearted and jovial but before long jaws will set and answers will be closely guarded.
Tonight I saw grandmothers adopt gangster like behaviour. Ordinary decent people became fevered game players - in all senses.
I, of course, was above such behaviour. I did not, for instance, glare menacingly at small children who knew more about Tweenies than I did. I did not make Psycho style 'whee whee' dagger motions towards rival teams nor did I try to bribe the quizmaster with a bag of boiled sweets and a Ripple. At no time did I mutter decoy answers to the clearly eavesdropping team next to ours. No, none of those things happened. Honest. Well, ok they did.
As it turned out, our team won. We were gracious as we accepted our sparkly goody bags and bestowed humble smiles upon the LOSERS!!!
Given that the goody bags contained a box of sweets, a notebook, a pencil and a glow in the dark stick there's no telling how far we'd go for an actual trophy.

"mutter decoy answers to the clearly eavesdropping team next to ours."
I wonder where you learnt that little trick from?
