The Timor-Leste Trivia Night is the one you really want to win. The participants are mostly librarians who have been answering questions for decades and the standard is high. We have been on the winning team the last 2 years so felt we had to defend our title. It was held in Geelong and despite the fact it was pissing with rain, we drove down there on Saturday night.
What they didn’t tell us in advance was that the questions were ABOUT Geelong. Examples:
Who was the third person to run through the banner at the 1963 Grand Final?
What business is found at 49 Malop Street, Geelong?
How many jock straps does Joel Selwood have in his third drawer down?
Was the blemish on Gary Ablett Senior’s nanna’s knee shaped liked (a) the grandstand at Skilled Stadium, (b) Denis Walter or (c) the Mayor of Geelong’s first pet?
Do we feel ripped off? I know the answer to that one.
Next year we’ll hold the quiz in Queens Road. I’ll set the questions and Right Foot can answer them. That’s fair.
