Tonight was a spectacular performance for the Spinach team in the pub quiz. Not only did Spinach get first place (winning myself 3 cans of Carling Black label and approx £3.20 cash), but the losers who deserted our team to set up a team of contenders managed to come second overall. Blinding performance all round, well done everyone.
The only thing in recent history that I think compares to this was in the 1966 soccer world cup. England then were doing so well that we'd arranged for a World war a few decades previously. During this war we infiltrated West Germany (as it later became known) and arranged for our best 1940s footballers to impregnate the German ladies. The resulting embryos became embryonic footballers who matured at just the right time to become the World Cup West German Team (WCWGT) - little did the majority of Germany know that in the final both teams had loyalty to England. It was not surprising then, when the Boys from Swindon did good, and the Germs were vanquished, just as they had been after the discovery of penicillin.
Tonight was so similar that I defy anyone, nay anyone, to tell me that history does not repeat itself over and over anon.
