It's That Time of The Year
Two Xmas Quizzes What I Wrote
Or compiled. Quizzers never say 'compiled' do they? No, we write or set. "Compiling" or "compiled", which if you say it a few too many times starts to sound like an anal-related medical condition (and believe me, I would know) gives a slight indication of us plucking them out of thin air, as if they were fully formed. Like Butterflies of Trivia. Which are related to the Butterflies of Love.
We crafted and wrote them and even - gosh horror! - work in a bit of subjective opinion and high-lariously silly wit. Um, unless they have been plagiarised, which has happened many a time before and which I deny utterly, wholly and completely in these cases.

Went through the Times one, with frequent cries of "bloody typical" and "oh god, another of his pet obscurities". You know, it would be interesting to see if you could actually set a good quiz for ordinary folk (you know, people who haven't spent ten years writing questions, or who don't revise GK every day) - I think it might kill you.
