We are the Champions

The Dept held their first ever Trivia Night (to raise funds for the Xmas party). And well, those who know me well should be aware that I am a receptacle for useless knowledge. It's a trait that runs in the family. Although I wasn't really intending on coming, I was duly recruited by other members of The Batcave. The competition however, really heated up with the realisation it was turning into a mini academics vs. students, lab vs. lab situation. I also hear rumbings that some were studying trivia to get a leg up.

Now for the last few days, I've been working on a very fiddly experiment. Lots of little steps that required a lot of attention. All that work...only for me to be told today that it didn't work. @!#$@#$#$@#$@$@! Needless to say, I was not in the most chipper of moods this afternoon. I did however manage to mellow a bit of my rage with some vodka and iced-peach tea (trust me on this).

Anyway, a team comprising of Markdod, The (token male) Pom, Punz, dancinghula, Ms S, and a mildly toasted yours truly absolutely wiped the opposition off the floor. Things were tense in the opening stages but I am pleased to say that our nearest opponents (the hardcore academics) ended up being around 10 points behind us. Yes, life is sweet and glory is even better :D
