Are you free for a pub quiz next week, Rob? 🤓

Last pub quiz I did was over well over a decade ago (before smartphones and anyone had Internet on a mobile device)! Doesn't everyone cheat? now using Google?

In the quizzes I go to, nobody's fixated enough on winning to resort to cheating. And canny question setters make it harder anyway by asking things more cryptic than 'what is the capital of Guatemala?'

Of course I looked on Wikipedia to find out about the different Metaxa brandy ratings I thought there were only 3, 5 and 7* but wondered what the official differences were. Age it the main one. Do you do a regular pub quiz then?

Regular, no, but there’s a good occasional one in Marlow every couple of months, and another in a pub closer to home (walkable, which helps.) There are half a dozen of us who’ll go along depending on who’s available. Just a bit of fun, y’know.

You're assuming I'd have recognized him then. 🤔

Sitting in an outdoor restaurant in our town centre in Israel. The town is very very popular with French Jews, both to live and holiday.
Lots of 18 - 24 youth, especially pretty girls dolled up. However the proportion smoking is huge. Well over 60%. Taking a similar range of British youth of similar religion, demographic etc the proportion would be less than 10%.

Back on topic, this is one of the reasons why I voted remain. The obvious restrictions on free movement for holiday makers should have been in the forefront of the bucket and spade crowd, but they seem to be the ones who voted leave.
