Now that's what I call a big win

Funny this -whilse all his mates are barristers and internet entrepreneurs or city analysts, he's a trainee taxi driver.

How the fuck can you not be a proper taxi driver? You just turn up with a battered Cortina and a dodgy insurance certificate at the local firm don't you?

Or is he doing 'the knowledge'. That won't be as easy as learning Big Match, Mr. Brewis. Most of us accomplished that in a week. (But we don't like to brag, unlike some)

And you're absolutley right, Cool. He probably plants his mates in the pub quizzes his company runs, so they can win a extra pint of real ale and guffaw that they knew who holds the world record for stuffing marshmallows up their nose.

It does rather undermine the integrity of the whole thing when you have people writing the questions and testing the machines. And then later playing them themselves for their own profit. It hardly seems any better than a fraud.

It would be interesting to know if the people who have just handed over the 500 quid to Brewis if they are aware this and if not would have done so if they had have known.

Calm down, lads. I know a lot of the QuizQuizQuiz team pretty well, and I'm pretty certain that they've never had any involvement in setting any questions for SWPs or SWP companies. If they did do SWP setting, they'd refrain from playing SWPs for that company - simple as that. 90% of QQQ's business is running corporate events, and they do it extremely well. They also run one pub quiz in London - I attend occasionally and I've never received (nor asked for) any help.

I suspect as a practical matter that most SWP question-writing contracts are on too large a scale for quite a small team like QQQ in any case. One imagines that any decent SWP company would ensure that each game had questions from an extremely wide variety of sources, to prevent any one setter or group of setters from being able to clean up.

Brewis is a teacher. He has dabbled in the past at doing the knowledge in his spare time, hence "trainee taxi driver". But to all intents and purposes, he is a teacher.

This all smacks of jealousy to me...! It's encouraged me not to tell you about the £10,000 I've won on Tetris this last fortnight. I wouldn't want you hating me.

Jealous of what exactly?

I wouldn't want you hating me.

Well you have done a pretty good job up until now with your smug portrayal of Brewis's representative on Earth

It was Toxteth O'Grady by the way.

You can always rely on Cool to go off on a tangent

What were the chances of Mohammed Al Fayed getting a mention in this thead at the beginning

Probably about the same as Toxteth O'Grady

I phoned Brewis last night to ask if he had ever been beaten up at school. Apparently not - so I did the only decent thing and tracked him down to a quiz machine in Mill Hill and gave him what for.

First I drenched him in Diet Coke (which he seemed to enjoy, bizarrely) then proceeded to 'stone' him in the biblical style with a bucket of pound coins his wife was holding.

Oddly, it was raining like a bitch outside and he was wearing nothing but a t-shirt and shorts.

QT.

Forgot to ask at the time did he get a banning from the Mill at Mill Hill for his exploits?
