Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

Tonight we had a fund raising pub quiz event after work. I originally wasn't gonna go, but it's been advertised around the whole office for weeks and most of the people I knew were going, so I decided to head over. After all, I had bought a few raffle tickets and I thought I'd skip the quiz part and just try to won free stuff.

It turns out, they started late so I ended up on a team with some co-workers. I was worried it'd be all British trivia, but luckily we had 3 Brits, and they also asked a fair amount of US-esque questions (Mount Rushmore, history, etc). And at one point, they had the pot of gold making the rounds, The idea is you buy as many tickets as you want for £1 and all the money goes into a jar. The winner gets half. Not a bad little investment, so I bought 2 tickets.

And wouldn't you know it, I won. My other raffle tickets were bunk, but who cares! I wasn't even gonna go to this thing, and we ended up taking 3rd (out of about 12 teams) and I won some cash.

The moral of the story: skip work and drink beer.
