Falklands blog for Saturday April 13 2013<\/p>\n
I’d like to report that we won the ‘Curry Night Quiz’ \u2026<\/p>\n
Well we did!
Would you like to help GCSE students studying tourism and economics to visit the UK in pursuit of their studies? Even with a concession, the flights cost around \u00a3850 per person. It is very expensive to journey away from the Falklands.
So we said yes to a curry quiz night at the school. On our own, with no other team members, our chosen team name was ‘Billy No\u2013Mates’. However, we were warmly welcomed into the fold and to our new team members and the quiz began.
Pictures of pop groups \u2013 groan; pictures of dolls of famous people \u2013 double groan.
There was even a section on the latest edition of Penguin News \u2013 triple groan!
This is where we lucked out and our team members came to the fore. Great fun and every point was contested; the name of the new CBFSAI, lots of questions about Mrs Thatcher and some doubtful ‘right’ answers.
Rule 1 the quizmaster is always correct
Rule 2 see rule 1<\/p>\n
Gisbourne in NZ a city?
Phishing spelling incorrect phising correct: that’s just plain wrong<\/p>\n
Amazing how emotions run high at moments like these.<\/p>\n
The good news is that the curries (and there were many many dishes) were tasty and lots of money was raised. The children are well in their way to a cultural visit to the UK \u2013 Stratford, London (and with a big grin .. Alton Towers)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
