❓ Week 267 - Quiz

First, a small personal note on the news this week that Man City have been found guilty of 114/115 breaches of Premier League financial rules. Supporting Arsenal during the period (and beyond), and watching City pip us to titles and cups while cheating, has made me so angry. I missed out on those highs, as did my sons. Nothing short of removing the owners, scrubbing the records and relegation will be enough.

In happier news, we had our final secondary school open evening for H before his choice is due. He seemed comfortable visiting the school buildings again, the headteacher spoke well and any doubts were erased.

I drove H to his latest football match, away at Whetstone. His team annihilated the opposition 0-0. I’ve never seen such a one-sided draw. The keeper was superb and the posts and bar somehow kept them out. H was man-of-the-match. My parents had come to see him, so he was a little disappointed not to win for them. However, a strawberry milkshake after at Honey and Cream made up for it.

In what is becoming a regular thing every other Sunday, I joined local dads for the pub quiz. We’re still referred to as newcomers among tables of grizzled veterans, yet secured a stunning second place. Our impressive knowledge of TV comedians, film, history, food and Japanese cover songs won us a coveted Toblerone.
