Last night was our penultimate quiz night at The Brighton Bar on Oxford Street. We've been every Thursday we've been in Sydney and it's been great fun. We won by a silly amount last night so got the $40 bottle shop voucher. If we win next week we'll just buy everyone a drink since we won't be able to carry all that "grog" in our backpacks.
Not that winning is a foregone conclusion anymore. We've now not come first twice. Last week we came third (sob).
This quiz has been a great way to meet the locals. The manager of the bar has been an invaluable source of info on the Aussies, and all the regulars at the quiz (including the quiz master) are really friendly. Funnily we probabl;y feel more part of the "community" here than we have done in Ealing thanks to this quiz. (We started going to one in Ealing, but they stopped it after a few weeks.)
