Pub Quiz Machine
I remember back at Uni when I, amongst other students, was watching someone play a pub quiz machine. He just could simply answer all the questions, or almost all of them. I couldn't answer any of them! Not one . .
Until for the jackpot it asked what fianchetto pertains to. It gave 4 options. Well I knew it was chess, which was one of the options. I spoke up. He ignored me. He thought I was completely thick I think. I spoke more loudly and he pressed chess. And he got it right and won £50. He looked around at me with some surprise and said I'd managed to win him £50.
He should have bought me a bloody pint!
