On Sunday night, I popped along to a local quiz night with a bunch of mates from Tesco. We went along with the intention of getting drunk and having a laugh at how bad we were at answering the questions in the quiz. Unsurprisingly, we did get rather drunk, and had a laugh. However, the surprise was that we managed to finish second in the quiz. Shocker.

We were expecting to finish in the bottom few teams, but we walked away with a £50 prize. Having said that, while being surprised, there was an element of disappointment in that we didn’t win it when we were so close. There were a couple of questions that we argued over and finally settled on the wrong answer. If we’d have answered those questions correctly, we would have ended up as clear winners. Shame, I guess there’s always next time.

I’ve been messing around with that XGI card that I talked about earlier, and I’ve had some ‘fun’ with it, as they say. To cut a long story short, it’s been a bloody awful experience. Drivers sucking fairly hard for the most part. I mean, what kind of card causes instability in the form of a BSOD in the best game of 2004? An XGI Volari, obviously… ;)

There’s other shizzle relating to that too, but you’ll just have to wait for the review before I say any more about it.

Finally, it’s my birthday tomorrow, so I’ll be taking Friday off after some heavy drinking to commence around 6pm. It’ll go on until I drop down at some point in the early hours of the morning. Timmy, my old housemate, is coming up to stay for the weekend. I’ve not seen him for a while, so I feel that there’s a pretty big session to be had.

I doubt I’ll update again until I’ve recovered some time in the middle of next week, but we can hope that it’s a little sooner than then, as I’ve got work to be getting on with again on Monday. :)
