No it hasn't. Not at our usual pub quiz anyway. The Rockingham Arms in Wentworth lies in the middle of the Rotherham countryside and has zero to minimal phone signal (although still it's frowned upon to whip your phone out in the quizzing hour). Also long live the ungooglable picture round and other...

I can't think of any particularly cringeworthy posts I've made (although I'm sure someone will be quick to post a few that prove the converse) although looking over a few of my very early posts I despair at my shoddy writing style, and it's a reminder of how awkward I used to be. This probably has t...

I sometimes go through spells of only drinking chocolate Yop! (These spells normally last for about 5 minutes until I have finished my Yop!)

^Like! Also tonight it has transpired that Innis is a real gem to have on Hex and can name any Simpsons episode from just two letters "THEY SAVED LISA'S BRAIN!" Also when Sky TV channels popped up it was amusing explaining E! to Howard: P

^Bump. So I was thinking about our beautiful, symmetric friend the palindrome and how some words are almost palindromes but not quite like BANANA. It then occurred to me that all words can be expressed as a sequence of palindromes ie BANANA = B + ANANA. TINNITUS = TINNIT + U + S. SENSELESSNESSES = S...

I got some flowers for mi lady and looked at wedding rings. What did you use your extra hour for today?

No but I do sometimes overscoop Ben & Jerry's to polite, courteous, attractive, gay sauna nudies or otherwise pleasant customers. I'm slowly balancing out the karmic universe one topping at a time.

First game probably the better of the two with lots of interesting words and a pencil to boot. Game 2 turned into a bit of a misclicking bluff-fest! Cheers Oli

Well done Eoin on another cracking victory. My kid bro has been getting into your games and was quite concerned you'd had some sort of brain injury when you didn't put the S on SPIKE. Needless to say I imminently told him to STFU. Well played

Dinos Sfyris 2 - 0 Jon O'Neill. First game was a 9fest and almost a maxi for me. In the 2nd game we were both really shocked when my guess of METHODIST^ was wrong.
