It's been a fair while since i've posted anything, having been extremely busy coming up with 1000 questions on NFL. 500 0dd questions on that unbelievably strange thing that is Country Music and checking daily that I till have my sanity intact.
I've also had time to run a few quizzes, though, and a mixed bunch they've been, from a big event in a small restaurant in London, to a quiz for an almost exclusively non- English audience (pretty tough) to Friday's big charity quiz for teams where I'd been told the average age might be about 50 but it looked to me more like 70.
There are many things to consider for that kind of quiz, volume being one of the most important, as you have to be loud enough for the many hearing-impaired to hear, but quiet enough for the many who would ask you to turn your headphones down on the tube not to object.
Also the question range is very important, and it much more resembles a traditional general knowledge quiz, with lots on politics, history, geography etc, than our usual more raucous and silly affair.
I actually get far more nervous doing quizzes for middle-aged and old people than any others, so the one on Friday went very satisfactorily, and everyone was very nice afterwards.
It will be a relief to get back to asking questions about Charles and Eddie next week though.
