Quiz Champions
From my diary, Friday, December 12, 1986:
No bother! Absolutely none at all!
We won the quiz. 149 - 76. It was no contest. McWilliams's team took about three or four rounds to get into double figures. There was never any real doubt about the outcome. However, they made a slight comeback in the Topics round, when they scored forty-two points to our three.
I got all but two of the cinema questions. In fact, it was a good allround team performance by us. Hopefully I did enough in the semifinal and final to get a place in the school quiz team.
My name is going to be first on the shield as captain. And we all got record tokens for four pounds in Boots. And we had our photo taken by Mr. Wilkins with his camera. And Iggy came down to congratulate us and ignored me.
Big Willie showed us some of a Cocteau film - La Belle et la Bete - today....
Went up to Derry Film & Video today with Declan and we got there just in time to see Tommy leaving. Going up again on Monday morning. Left a film in Boots to be developed.
F**ked up my French aural today.
Today was the last proper day at school.
We won!
