Six more!

Keith's Ramblings

Len, landlord of The Baaamy Inn came up with an idea for a new game for his drinkers to play, he decided to call it 4Q, short for the Quiz where the Questions come Quite Quickly, and individuals would be required to answer as many questions as possible in one minute; if they didn’t know the answer they would just say ‘pass’ and move on to the next one, and the winner’s  prize would be dinner for two and a bottle of vino.

It seemed only appropriate that Quentin be made the quizmaster, not just due to his name but also because he’s a bit of a clever-clogs which would give him an unfair advantage were he to take part; his favourite topic of conversation is what he’s won, lately he’s been awarded everything from a years supply of toilet rolls to having a pig named after him!

First to play was George; ‘what’s the Italian for pie…pizza…correct, leaning tower of what…pie…wrong, square root of 5…pass…where are the Spanish Steps…Spain…wrong, the only word without a rhyme…orange…correct’, at the end of the minute he had a score of six, not bad!

At the halfway point, Arthur had scored four, Colin five, Suzie had fallen asleep during question three (it was going on a bit), Millie was silly and attempted none, Fred got an impressive eight and Bill got nil.

Last to play was Quentin’s wife, Queenie; ‘the Khyber what links Pakistan & Afghanistan…pass…correct, to die or what away…pass…correct, kick a ball from one player to another…pass…correct, kids game, what the parcel…pass…correct, another word for overtake…pass, correct’; she finished with ten correct answers, or did she?

The other players were not at all happy, and they called for a Stuarts’ enquiry, Stuart’s a lawyer and therefore amply qualified to make a decision on whether fair or foul play took place and he suggested forming a jury to decide if an unfair ploy was employed, but Len who was concerned it was fast turning into an episode of Law and Order decided to call it a draw and award each player a packet of peanuts and a drink!

    I think that he avoided a long legal battle by declaring it a draw.

    You passed this one with flying colors as usual Keith! Love all the pun and clever passers. P.S. I did not miss the group name…said out loud it is quite different than it at first appears, I swear!

    It looks like, through Queenie, Quentin won again. I am sure she had no clue what the answers were.

    I think the culprit on knowing too much was Keith! He was keen on keeping on an even keel all the key responses!

    Nicely done!!
