Tuesdays.
Trivia.
The Pub.
A Parma.
A love story in three acts.
Since moving in with friends, it has now become routine to go down to the local of a Tuesday for a cheap parma and some enlightening trivia.
Enlightening as we're finding out just how petty people can be when it's discovered that the winning team is only winning because they are cheating by, get this, answering more questions right!
The audacity of some people.
The motto for our team seems to be "consistently mediocre" as we come in a range of places from first to fourth last and just because we are loud doesn't make us right.
But we are finding that there are some teams who flat out don't like us and one team that was spoiling for a fight due to some mis-directed vengeance.
We are Mr Sparkle.
Or at least that's who we were for four months.
Now we are Sparkle Motion!
And will be a variant on the sparkle theme for as long as it's funny (to us).
But there is a team at our pub that changed their name each week to something slightly more amusing than the last.
Each week the points are tallied with the team with the highest score at the end of the month representing the pub at the monthly championships.
And when the Name Changers got the most points one month but were overlooked as champs because someone can't count, that's when things got messy.
The Name Changers were fine with it but the team that thought they won were most displeased.
So much so that, the following week, a relative of the rorted team (who belongs to another team) starts spouting out nonsense to the entire pub (at the top of her American voice) that we've robbed her friends by changing our name every week yada yada yada blah blah blah.
It took two months of us cheering them on whilst they bitched about us to make them realise that we're the good guys.
But yet again we are the monthly champs and will be repping our pub at the UTC where we have placed no better than fourth in the entire time that we've been trivial.
Let's hear it for knowing random crap.
Consistently Mediocre - that's us.
