Congratulations Pete on the narrowest of wins.
Some of you will recall than I moved to Brisbane some months ago and
therefore stopped running trivia at my no-longer-local club. We have now
exhausted all the questions I had used there. This does not mean the end
of calvin's quizzes, but it does mean that I will be drawing questions
from other sets I have written over the years. They tend to be thematic
and there may be some repetition. We'll see how they go.

Not much. There's a few guys in white playing cricket, if you're visiting
with the barmy army and are desperate for something to do there ;-)
