We are the champignons!
Ben, keeper of the Southampton Pub Quiz Diary, noticed that the Varsity was starting a pub quiz on Mondays, so we went and checked out the first night.
It's an unusual but good set-up: the winners of each round get £20, the overall winners get £50, and there are a couple of other bonus prizes like "best team name".
At the end of the first round (general knowledge) we thought we'd done really badly (and indeed we kinda had), but in fact we were joint first - whether this reflects on the average intelligence of Varsity's patrons I couldn't possibly say. In any case, we went on to win one of the rounds and the overall title, netting us £70. A good evening's work, all in all! :)
To celebrate, here is a picture of a BIG POTATO! (taken at a barbecue round at Ben's house in March - I think I mentioned it in passing at the time)

Lig, you stole my line. There doesn't seem to be much else one can say really...
