Flight Nite

Went out with Sarah and Jo last night to Camp and Furnace for their new quiz night Flight Nite where there was 4 holidays up for grabs. One in the UK, a beach holiday, city break and the big one VEGAS!

In flight snacks - sweet popcorn, salted peanuts, Lotus Biscoff biscuits and skittles.

The aim was to win 3/4 but definitely wanted to win Vegas. You played on your own on your own phone rather than in a team. There was 4 rounds with 15 questions in each round that were multiple choice, had a fastest finger round where you could win a prize for the fastest person to answer. At the end of the round the top 3 had to go on stage and complete the challenge and the one who won the challenge won that holiday!

The first holiday was Wales which we didn't want and the fastest finger prize was an inflatable avocado which I really wanted! Second holiday was a city break to Rome which would have been so good! The fastest finger prize was pizza. The third was a beach holiday to Lanzarote - fastest finger was an inflatable plane suit. The last big prize was to Las Vegas!! The fastest finger was a helicopter ride which I think you did here but I'm not sure. 

It was hard as each round reset where as if you built up all the answers from each round I definitely would have had a shot. The Vegas round I actually did really well as I only got 1 question wrong which Sarah actually got right but she got too many wrong at the start so wasn't going to win it. I was playing for Jo as she couldn't see her phone or answer the questions. I should have answered two different answers for that one instead of answering the same for the both of us when I wasn't sure of the answer as one of us would have won it!

The girl that ended up wining the Vegas prize was from Portugal as well. Was fuming wanted to win that but I guessed she must have answered all the questions right to get on stage and win it. It was a good night but sad we didn't win anything. Would have been amazing if we won the trip to Vegas.

Sarah drove as she wasn't drinking and we did a Maccies run on the way home. For some reason I lost my voice even though I had 1 drink and didn't think I was shouting but must have as the first question for the Vegas round was along the lines of "Which Las Vegas band had the hit song Mr Brightside" which was obviously The Killers! (It should have been the fastest finger question as I well would have won that!) Then they played Mr Brightside so that could have been why I lost my voice... 

My throat didn't hurt I just had no voice.

Sarah's Birthday - The Elephant

It was Sarah's birthday last Saturday so went to The Elephant on Friday night for some food.

Jo got the Slow cooked featherblade of Beef - Red wine, roasted carrot, kale, clotted cream mash

Me and Sarah both got the Sea Bass Nicoise - Warm new potato salad, black olives, fine beans, soft poached egg

There was about 2 beans in it. No salad.

We got them to come serenade Sarah with cake - she hates us

Fun Friday nights which makes a change as I couldn't tell you the last time I went out.

Let's see what plans we have for next week!

Ya Nan's Big Quiz

Had early birthday celebrations yesterday as it's my birthday weekend! It's my 25th birthday on Bank Holiday Monday - I am officially old! Quarter of a century, half way to 50... The next box up in the age category. 

It started off with work - my team decorated my desk and we've started birthday club so they got me a card, got a speech which made it sound like I was leaving and got £31.50! It's always weird that on your birthday you have to take stuff in - so they wanted Chinese food made by nanny Wing which was never going to happen but instead I slaved away on Thursday night after the gym at 8pm to make them scones! Probably the best I've made which I'm really glad as they all seemed to enjoy them!

After work I went to Ya Nan's Big Quiz & Sing Along at the Camp and Furnace with Holly, Danielle, Sarah and Tracy. It's like Bongo's Bingo but with a quiz! We went to Sarah's for pre drinks then went into town.

Jules and her chicken Wing's!

In between the quiz they had different games - a raffle then higher or lower if you wanted to gamble your prize to win cash. I got to choose the raffle tickets twice but still failed to pick the tickets we had out! Then cash karaoke and blind date!

We had 2 team names Jules and her Chicken Wing's (should've won best team name but Fuck Trump did - fair) and It's a marathon not a sprint. 

WE WON THE QUIZ!!! WE'RE GOING TO BLACKPOOL!!!

Ya nan shouted winners... It's a marathon not a sprint and I just jumped onto the stage!!! Can't believe we actually won the quiz and we're going to Blackpool!!

It's ya nan!

Sarah knows the 2 DJ's Sean and Nick! People thought it was fixed cos they reserved the table for us at the front in the middle and I got a birthday shout out but we actually did get all the questions right apart from like 3 that we didn't know! Sarah's been before and never won! We won fair and square!!

After we went next door to the Camp and Furnace where the house band played.

Dele Alli challenge

Me and Holly have won 4/5 pub quizzes we have done so it turns out we make a pretty good team but it was all 5 of us that won it!! Tracy left early before it finished cos she was in work this morning so missed us finding out that we won. But we're all going to Blackpool in the next couple of weeks! Sarah's never been to Blackpool before and I've never been to the fair only to see the lights!

Me and Sarah both made it to the gym this morning at 10am we only did 50 minutes of back though we are so tired and she's got work at 3pm but what's a hangover?

Had the best night last night and wining just made it! Had so much fun and definitely need to do it again!! Thanks team and Holly for the macrons love you all maybe turning 25 won't be so bad after all!
