So yesterday a mate of mine that I haven't seen for a few months came into my shop accompanied with some other mates of mine. He lives in Nottingham (miles away) so naturally we had to go into town for a few drinks and a catch up. When I finished work and headed up to the local, they were on the
quiz machine.
From what I could tell, they had been there for about an hour at least, and had spent a considerable amount of money already. At this point they were trying to beat the "
Pointless" game, to no avail.
After a few unsuccessful tries with me there to help, I suggested we have a go at "
The Chase". They instantly replied with a "F
uck that, the game is impossible".
After quite some time, switching between
Pub Quiz, The Chase and Pointless, the rest of the room got involved. Cheering us on, suggesting answers. It got to the point where literally everyone was facing the screen, hoping we would
finally crack the most deadly one of them all - Pointless. We probably put £30 in that machine until that point, but the kind Dog & Partridge locals were willing to chip in some funds.
We finally got to the last round. We had to pick three possible answers in the hope that one of them were
Pointless. The first answer: 8. The second answer: 14. The final answer...

I can't underestimate how great a feeling that was. It was incredible. People were hugging each other.
We then went on to BEAT The Chase and Match of the Day! We were on a roll! Incredible stuff.
Best Sunday night I have ever had.
