Tonight's Quiz:
"A rolling Mossy gathers no stone but will spend money."
How many Mossirlamis will be spent tonight at the bar?
Only he will know the answer but I am prepared to send the 'winner' a prize of a bottle of...(yes, I can do nice wine).
I'll guess he will spend Eleven Mossirlamis- and his team will come first. Total spend of 27 MSL's between the team.

I'm thinking a team of 5 drinking 6 pints each on average - so 30 Mossirlamis.

I seem to recall some photos of the quiz team and don't remember more than three. I'm guessing about 5 pints each (a very steady night for Mossy) so that's 15 Mossirlamis. Given we are in the North, the issue of "keeping one's end up" in regard to buying rounds of drinks is paramount so he will spend exactly 1/3 of these....so it's 5

Mossy has 5 pints for brekker but Posh Stu might only sip a glass of Gin & It.

OK - and thanks to all taking part.

The answers:

1. Rolling Mossy, indeed, gathered no stone - well done to everyone who got that one right

2. The team was six but Vic flies solo, sticking to a two cider maximum for non-football nights; all other team members bought one round each. The establishment hosting the quiz is pretty up-market with "close to town prices"; a pint comes in at 1.46 Mossirlami's (that threw a lot of you). So during the quiz Mossy spent 7.32 Mossirlami's. However Mossy arrived one drink early to reserve the best quizzing table so his total spend was 8.79 Mossirlami's. The final drink of the evening was had in a different pub where the price of a beer is precisely 1 Mossirlami so one team member spent just 5 Mossirlami's. If your answer was anywhere between 5 and 9 Mossirlami's - give yourself half a point. I need to see 8.79 for the full point.

3. Vic's fancy pants cider is a whopping 1.88 Mossirlami's so total spend of the team, including Vic, 38.05 Mossirlamis

You're welcome

PS: we came second

Had this last night. A lovely geuze made with 100% lambic brewed at 3 Fonteinen (they usually buy in some of the lambic they use from other brewers). very smooth, quite a lingering head (for a geuze) and moderately funky. I've got a big bottle to keep for a rainy day.

Fizzics.

The end of the Crackle pour or a way to turn any perfectly decent beer into the unthinkable nastiness of John Smith's smooth?

What do the members of our expert panel think?



I won't be backing it.

In the "Risks and Challenges" section of the website where they are obliged to inform investors they say "We don't foresee any real risks and we're ready to go!"

So on that basis alone, I'm out
