Too hot? Maybe. Too hot to quiz? Never.
Hello quizzers, I write to you from a sweaty past, by which I mean Tuesday of this week. As I type this, it’s a quite frankly unacceptable 33C outside and I find myself yearning for wind and rain.
The forecast informs me that as you read this though, it will be a much more pleasant temperature in the mid twenties for many of you. Positively arctic conditions compared to what we started the week with.
And there’s the intro. My brain isn’t working, my fingers are sweating and no good will come from me rambling on.
Enjoy your quiz rounds on film synopses (yes, that is the plural of synopsis) and biscuits.
Time to cook.
