Got steaming yesterday, for most folk that's a reason to be cheerful, but I'm a recovering alcoholic and went 2 and half years sober,
Was ment to be going up to Montrose yesterday but plans changed last minute so smart arse me thought seen as I'm in town ill have a pint, I can have just 1, how wrong was I, can vaguely mind getting home last night
Never mind eh, what time do pubs open on a Sunday.You're allowed a lapse mate, it sounds like you have been doing fantastically well.
Don't be too hard on yourself, regroup, talk to people who can support you and restart your sobriety.

It's time for the round one scores on the doors. Very close in the team event thusfar, one bit of transfer news @pleslie99has been transferred from Africa to Asia after an investigation from the United Nations.
Anyway in first place after round one are team Africa with whopping 44 points.
@Arch Stanton @scottsdad @101 @JamesP_81 @peasy23 @Blootoon87
Scottsdad got the only ten of the round along with nines from Arch Stanton, Peasy and James P. Superb, Africa salutes you.
In second place with a healthy 41 points are Team Europe
@Insert Amusing Pseudonym @TheGreenElves @Salvo Montalbano @Ross. @The_Kincardine @kingjoey
IAP got a nine as did Ross. Europe is pleased.
Now in 3rd place we have team Australasia on 39 points
@Eednud @Duszek @The Captain @gkneil @BigBo10 @BaSeDG0DSA1NT @Jacksgranda
Edmund and Duszek fire in nines to keep their continent in the mix.
In fourth place in alphabetical order is Team North America with 38 points
@Rugster @Bully Wee Villa @mathematics @JustOneCornetto @Ronaldo Jeremy @senorsoupe
Solid team display with BWV, maths, cornetto and jeremy getting eights to keep them in the hunt.
In fifth place also on 38 points is South America.
@Geaky @The Hologram @German Jag @Cardinal Richelieu @Spring Onion @TxRover @specsaver
Springy gets a nine and is assisted by the Cardinal with an eight
And finally bringing up the rear (insert kenneth williams meme) is team Asia
@Leeds Saint @Helpma @Snobot @The DA @ArmadaleKillie @SlipperyP @pleslie99
Snobot and Slippery gets an 8 but Asia expects more, much more.
Well all to play for going into the second round, here is the knockout tournament results.
Firstly the Peckham Spring Cup
Hearts stalwart IAP gets a 9 to knockout his team mate TheGreenElves as the St Mirren quiz fanatic gets a 7.
Oh no another St mirren fan Arch Stanton gets a 9 but Uni lecturer Scott Dad goes through with a ten
Suave Italian detective Salvo Montalbano aka a Pars fan gets an 8 but Swiss Dwelling Bankies fan Ross gets a 9 to advance.
Another Sainty, this time Leeds saint gets a 7 to go back Rex Lynn CSI miami lookalike Helpma who only got a 6.
Quiz veteran Snobot scores 8 to despatch Tannadice fanastic the DA who ends up beached with a 7.
Falkirk Fan Rugster who is on holiday got a sick, no match for everyones favourite moderator BWV who advances with an 8
Geaky by name but not by nature gets a 5 as lithgy Rose top fan the Hologram gets a 7.
Hannover residing German Jag gets a 7 but falls to our returning beloved Cardinal Richard who scores 8 - all hail the Cardinal.
My old friend The Captain got a 5 to be outscored by GKNeill with an impressive 8
Next up these two dweebs have drawn, yup Aussie Edmund and another Swiss resident Duszek got 9 - you both advance.
Excellent we look forward to round 2.
Now onto the Fawlty Towers Shield
Ancient egg chasing fan The Kincardine got an 8 to see of David Bowie fanatic KingJoey who got a 6, apparently the board want Changes
101 who I was taking to at football on Saturday got 5 but train driver James P steamed through with a 9.
Petershill fan Peasy 23 smashes a 9 to advance against old stager Blootoon who got a fine 7
Armadale Killie another veteran got a 6 but our greatest ever host Slippery P advances with an 8
Another Killie fans Mathematics who has a cellar that Fred West would be in awe of got 8 as did the brilliantly named Cornetto - both go through
A big one from Ronaldo Jeremy (8) sees off Senorsoupe who notched a 4 - Canada weeps tonight.
Spring Onion unlike his QOS team was on fire with a 9 - Tx Rover who I enjoy his informative posts in the Ukraine topic crashes out with a 3.
Talbot fan Bigbo10 got a 7 to see of newby Basedogsaint who scored 6. Unlucky.
The father of the quiz, Jacksgranda got 6 - Our newest player Specsaver goes through with 7 - I will be round later for a coffee and to find out about you
Pleslie also goes through
Excellent that's stage one over. Next round will be tomorrow and remember even if you're out the individual event you're in the team event for 4 rounds

More U-turns happening and on the way. Kwarteng’s pick for the Treasury Permanent Secretary overruled and replaced with a more ‘orthodox’ treasury official. Also looking more likely that Kwarteng’s austerity cuts will not get sufficient support in the HoC.
It’s not looking quite so easy or straightforward now is it Liz?
Also Kwarteng having unreported meetings with Saudi oil executives.
Kwarteng is a buffoon. Yet another out of touch ex Etonian.
You know his economics background is a pile of shite. His thesus was on coinage of the 16th century or some guff like that.
A bully, an incompetent, a fanatic like so many of this awful disgusting corrupt cabinet.
He should right now be in jail for thr stunt he pulled with his mini budget for his friends.
A pox on him.

Right everyone it's time for the team and individual quiz with plenty of trophies up for grabs. Trophies for the best team, the three highest individual scorers and of course the knock out cups - There will be four rounds and we have six teams.

Braverman already getting sidelined due to growing realisation that we need foreign workers.
Meanwhile Truss’s popularity has actually dropped since the Tory Party conference (historically that’s a bounce for leaders) and is now lower than Johnson’s was in the aftermath of Partygate.
Braverman is possibly the most racist, disgusting character to ever hold one of the major cabinet roles in the political history of Britain.
A truly evil vulgar individual. A pox on her.

Come on everyone can we try and get a few more players.
I'm going to do team quiz next week.
Incidentally I'd like to see people getting tens rewarded with more green goodness.
Same people seem to hand them out for this achievement. Recognise your fellow quizzers attempts.
Don't just be a taker be a giver too.

May I recommend the fantastic Rest Is Politics podcast with Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart.
Compelling listening where they continually destroy Truss, Johnson et al.
Also covers political events round the globe.

Sorry for the delay this week folk.
My village is flooding and have been working during the day and then getting home to fill sand bags. I'm fucking knackered.
Next few days will see my house and garden flooded, the river is creeping closer to the edge.
Heads up, life could be a lot worse.
Take care Slippy, hope you and your family are OK.
Terrible few days over there.
