So I agreed a while ago to go to a community quiz night in a church hall as a favour to a mate. The day has arrived. Trish has predictably pulled out so I'm flying solo. Also in attendance this evening will be at least one sitting MP and at least one Knight of the realm. It's BYOB so I'm taking a bottle of red, some camping cups, and have just made up a big soda stream bottle filled with g&t. I am determined to have a good time and have messaged the organiser to let them know I'm breezy and I sort of know some of the people but they are welcome to stick me in any team that needs someone. I am a positive Peter. I've dressed up a bit and objectively look devastating. My game plan is to try and not talk too much and just look pretty and only answer questions when I am 100% certain so I look like a handsome genius and not a sad little lost boy weirdo. Which I am not! I am a MAN! I am a confident young man! In the prime of my life! I've got everything going for me! The world is my oyster. You're a tiger, Ben! A lion! Now get out there and show everyone you have some value! Huzzah! 🕺

I hope you have nice evening plans and are similarly as unassailably confident as me. X

@TheBreadmonkey

You've got this!! You will be Fab-U-Lous!

Now, remember, don't down the G&T straight from the bottle, even if people start clapping rhythmically.

@PetraPhoenix @TheBreadmonkey yes, well, I think by now we can conclude Ben didn't follow this solid advice. How's the hangover going, Ben?

@TheBreadmonkey @doublesandal

Oh Ben.

How many pizzas did you eat?

@PetraPhoenix @doublesandal

I actually only ate 3 slices and have no idea what I was going on about

@TheBreadmonkey

This is very funny to me!

@TheBreadmonkey

It's #PizzaSaturday here. Going nowhere.

Image follows in due course...

@TheBreadmonkey Just remember that Pickles the Dog found the Jules Rimet Trophy in 1966 and you’ll be fine.

@Nickiquote

Have you been watching Small Prophets?

@Nickiquote

It features. I've just started watching it. It's lovely and funny.

@TheBreadmonkey @Nickiquote

It also features in Early Doors which I rewatched recently. Great show, gets a bit dusty in places though.

@TheBreadmonkey I value you so much, young Ben.✨
Get out there and slay with your amazing knowledge 👍🏽
@TheBreadmonkey Not quite on the same scale, but we're having cod and chips...
