Bashers. It's Shanghainese for Cricket

Olympic Trivia Results

Read it and weep. Another big headache from last night – from all the shouting i’m sure! 

Apologies for marking a few wrong – i’m a bear of very small brain

Our usual winners by a long stretch – but the peloton is closing in fast 

And a dead heat (after penalties for Hot-Dog like behaviour) for third and another for fifth – this is one red hot comp!

Mr The Prof has already started prepping the next test ….stand by for some serious intellectualism!

Anyone who was afraid of the rain and didn’t show or anyone who wants to relive the moment can get a taste of a draft version of the quiz here

League Festival Match

1st v 4th Playoff for nothing! @ Dulwich

Starters below….

Special Olympic Trivia

Following the success of our previous event and to allow some sharpened minds to exact revenge another Quiz evening is planned for the first week of the olympic games. It will all happen on Thursday Night at the Sticky Wicket bar up the back stairs of Big Bamboo. Many many prizes and much joviality to be had. Cost of entry is 100RMB per head. Recommended optimum team size is four pax. All friends, colleagues and family are welcome. Please RSVP via comments here so we have some idea. Start time is approximately 7:30pm. Be there in plenty of time to get a feed before and warm up your brain after a dulling day at the office.

In addition a tailor will be in attendance from around 6:30pm to take measurements for Bashers Blazers.

As usual keep you eye on this blog for clues!

Start the sledging below…
