If you haven't read them already and are interested, then you can find them there. I don't really have a lot more to say on that particular issue than I have already said. <br /><br />With response to the 'Yes!' thing, I noticed that Mr. Jeffers posted a complaint about the same thing in his personal attack on me posted in his own blog. If you look back to the comments after the article in question, you can click on his name and it will take you to his own blog. I don't know whether you've seen it or not. I'm sure you'd be in agreement with a lot of the things he's said there.<br /> I'll be honest, I don't really see why the 'yes' thing upsets people that much - now if I was doing a lap of honour running round the pub bare chested and screaming in people's faces, yes ( oops, sorry, I said it again ) that would be a different matter. <br /><br />None of us are above criticism. I am entitled to my point of view. You are entitled to yours - hence you can post your comments here, and, so long as they are not abusive or obscene, they will not be edited or removed. Your post is here for everyone to read, and when people have read it they may very well agree with you, and your assessment of me. That is their prerogative. <br /><br />Whether or not I attend a particular quiz is up to me, and of course the landlord of the pub in question. I don't have to explain why I attend a quiz to anyone else. If the Pheasant want to ban me from the quiz, then fair enough. I'll go quietly. Other than that, I will make up my mind whether I intend to come to a quiz there in future or not. <br /><br />As I have said before, this is a public forum, and you are free to air your opinons.Londiniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871325359167581176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-38739189547936857052009-06-15T14:36:56.412-07:002009-06-15T14:36:56.412-07:00Gosh is your previous article about the pheasant q...Gosh is your previous article about the pheasant quiz sour grapes or what! Most music quizzes you have to identify artist AND title so why accentuate this? You complain about the handouts because the team in the lead had a MALE NURSE in their team and it was on bones - well this MALE NURSE was a Psychiatric nurse not medical and the human skeletal system is a subject taught in most(all) schools and being a teacher you should have an 'unfair advantage' in this AND most areas. Your comment about the QM knowing about the Nurse in the team (on this occasion factually incorrect) and having a lead after the music round ( how would he have known this prior to the quiz?) The person you refer to, Steve Williams is rarely in the lead after the music round, on this occasion he was accompanied by someone with a vast knowledge of music - the QM whoever it is does not know who is going to turn up each week. The Pheasant quiz is run by the locals, FOR the locals who enjoy a bit of fun on Sunday evening and NOBODY takes it seriously (well almost nobody!!) <br />All you can do on your blog is repeatedly run down the quiz yet you persist in turning up! The preparation of the quiz takes a lot of time and effort from whoever presents it. The quiz has enjoyed something of a revival in recent times in attendance terms, thanks in no small part to the youngsters who have also recently produced and presented the quiz themselves and in doing so cater for the interests of ALL attendees. You have proved at the quiz with your repeated shouts of 'YES' every time you get a correct answer that you not only an ungracious winner but as clearly shows on your blog an even more ungracious loser.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-72506760893419509302009-06-15T09:34:34.803-07:002009-06-15T09:34:34.803-07:00Ah, Mike, you say the nicest things !
