Alan Partridge Quiz, The Cookie, Leicester - 20th September 2017
This was a nice chance to meet up with friends at a nice venue, and there was a good atmosphere, it was a sell out and people were in high spirits. The first round of the quiz was easy for Partridge fans, but thankfully the questions got a bit harder as it went on, however it seemed strange that every question focused on the 2 series of "I'm Alan Partridge". The radio show, his appearences on the Day Today, Knowing Me Knowing You!!!! All ignored, as well as the film, his book, audio book, mid morning matters etc. As well as this 2 or 3 of the questions were a bit vague and extra points were given out at one point to teams who gave extra detail in an answer which wasn't asked for. To the credit of the quizmaster he was vigilant and suitably strict with cheats. I'd like to point out that I'm not a bad loser, I just prefer broader questions on a subject and my team lost a lot of man hours researching the wrong footage. I think I need an Irish Coffee to calm down, failing that a can of Fanta.

Alan Partridge Quiz, The Cookie, Leicester - 20th September 2017
Really enjoyed the night, and we came second to top it all off! It was great mingling with other Patridge nerds. A couple of negatives:
- The quiz started quite late on - it was down on the ticket as doors at 7pm
- There were a lot of people with phones out after the question papers were handed out and the quiz had a picture round. Maybe innocent, but it should be policed really. To be fair, one team were disqualified for cheating/phones.
- Slightly better research wouldn't go amiss in some areas - some incorrect answers to questions were being moderated en masse by everyone at the end. Added to the entertainment though!
All of the above aside, I thought it was a really good night and I'd be back to another one like a shot.
