Well, Smack Me Over The Head With Another Trophy
2007-2008 President's Cup Winners, Nice
And so it came to pass that Sussex (a team including myself, Nic Paul, Kathryn Johnson and such guests as Ian Bayley, David Stainer, Peter Ediss and Mark Bytheway) triumphed in this season's President's Cup with a game to spare, having been all crap and rubbish and bloody terrible, albeit unlucky, last season when we came dead last.
In the words of Competition Secretary, Roger Bennett: "This week’s President’s Cup was played with a theme – dominated question set which was described politely by one team as ‘very strange’, and less politely by other participants. However the themes were no obstacle to Sussex who cruised to a win over Cambridge which, with the Mastermind Club’s defeat, confirms them as this season’s champions. Congratulations to them for coming from last place in the previous campaign to worthy winners this time around and to their youthful captain who, like a quizzing Alexander, is running out of worlds to conquer.
The championship was confirmed by London’s convincing defeat of last year’s winners. The capital team, several times cup winners themselves, returned to former glories with all four players in double figures. Perhaps they will want theme rounds for every quiz."
BOAT DRINKS ALL ROUND!
(But "quizzing Alexander" ... er, let's hope I don't die a wrecked, glory-choked superboozehound apt to stabbing his best friends to death in fits of unreasonable rage in Babylon)
