I won a pub quiz last night!

In Hampstead, no less! Well, East Finchley. And I answered about three questions. Including "what does 'WWW' stands for in relation to the Internet :-| But still. Yay me! :-|

sure of an answer but the rest of the team overruled me as they don't think I would know the answer.

A pub quiz is ace.

Full of absolute f**king weirdos on occasion, and then there is the groups that take them so f**king seriously. Beyond weirdo.

I was once involved in one in Wexford, at the appropriate break for pints and pishes I asked another pervert what his answer was to a certain question.

You woudl have thought I had infact pished on the man's bare foot such was his reaction.

Sorry old boy.

do you know what http stands for?

:hide:

Big super flash offices in London, closed user group of top grade ****ers who in turn were bulk users of CRO products.

My attendance was solely due to the fact that 2-3 others could not attend, and my attendance was solely to request on behalf of my organisation that we could receive our daily data by ftp instead of an actual tape by courier (late 90s remember).

Having done my bit imagine my horror when the chair thanked me for my question and asked if I could "for the benefit of the other members, perhaps you could explain what ftp means and how it works".

How easy it would have been had I been lucky enough to have the person that actually raised the question sat beside me.

Cue me leaning forward to the microphone and telling all attendees that I did not know. I knew how it worked, just not what it stood for.
