Bull's Head Quiz Night

Tuesday night is Quiz Night at the Bull's Head in Hall Green and I'm writing this just before I set off to present the quiz. Last week's runners-up were the Wacky Racers, who came second in a tie breaker. One member of the team is John Garghan who writes the blog You'll Never Look at them in the Same Way Again. He's also set himself the objective of taking a photograph every day and posting it on his Flikr site. Last Tuesday's photo is of me presenting him and the team with their bottle of wine and can be seen here.
