I believe this year the quiz is on 17th century Italian philosophers. Plus a couple of questions on buses.

Which leaves the possibility that the bonus round could be on 17th century Italian buses...

When I read the first part of this, I thought 'seriously?', as that is what I asked not to be written! Then the second bit made sense! Is it like a TV quiz, such as The Chase, or Pointless?
It is indeed a TV quiz. Last year's round on Tandy own brand models was particularly taxing, like the Rumbelows quick fire round.

Put me down for a 70% chance of attending. Give or take a percentage point or two.

It's 50/50 whether I will be attending at the moment - a combination of busy-ness, feeling a little 'under-the-weather', and other bits mean I will have to see how I am on Friday morning.

If I see you I see you, if I don't then I won't. (Alternatively I may just socialise and not do the challenge.)

Whether I make it or not, have a good time anyway!

Afraid I can't get tomorrow off so won't be taking part. If someone texts me the starting station anyway, I might be able to pop down in my lunchbreak and wave you all off, depending on which station it is.
