One of the evening activities organised by Skiworld during our ski week was a quiz night, which I must admit, I have quite the penchant for. The only downer was that it didn’t start until 10 PM!
Still, we managed to round up a team of nine, and along we went for the ride. It was actually a pretty decent evening in the end – even the drinks weren’t terribly overpriced, at €5 for a JD and coke. We don’t know how our team (“Quizzing in the Name Of”) fared, as they only announced last place, and the top three (of which we were in neither); but we did secure victory in the Aluminium Foil Sculpture round.
Basically, we had to make something out of a sheet of aluminium foil, on the theme of a circus. Todd took the bull by the horns, and sculpted us a cannon (i.e. the human cannonball) – and quite an impressive one at that! It even had wheels, and a 1p coin in the back to weight it correctly!
Impressive, no?! Was there ever any doubt that we wouldn’t win? Especially compared to one of the other teams who simply wrapped three champagne flutes in alfoil, juggled them, and then dropped (and broke) one. Pah! Pathetic.
. But I’m wondering why you still need a scanner? I have downloaded a great scanner app for my phone so I just take...

Awesomeness!
The best part of this story was your comment about the other team that dropped their alfoil flutes…”Pah! Pathetic” I’m at work and bursted out into hysterics because I can seriously visualise you sitting there watching this team and then whispering to your team mates/friends “Pah! Pathetic”. This is competitive Gerrod in all his glory!
