I have the occasional impulse to test my knowledge of all things not worth knowing on pub quiz machines (a occupational hazard, I'm afraid).
I have the occasional impulse to test my knowledge of all things not worth knowing on pub quiz machines (a occupational hazard, I'm afraid). During hours of extensive research, I have come to realise that there are several categories of pub quiz machine knowledge that can be summed up as thus: a) Things I know but have no explanation why If it had been up to Alexander Graham Bell, we'd all answer the phone with 'ahoy' b) Things I know because of Wikipedia A group of owls is called a 'parliament' c) Things I shouldn't know but do Pigs can pick up tricks faster than dogs. d) Things I'm glad I don't know The history of boy bands, the Latin names for flowers, anything to do with Big Brother, prog rock, Manchester United The latter is a lie. I know quite a bit about Man U - I'd just rather lose my money. Should you find yourself in the Black Swan on Huddersfield Road, Oldham, scratching your head over which member of The Shadows wrote 'You're the One That I want' from Grease - it's John Farrar. So now you know. I didn't.
