APologies for fuckwitted formatting, but you don't do a pub quiz in a pub without enjoying pub virtues. Right, I'm off to toast Hopkins 33rd year.

I took a course in Fuckwit formatting and I still can't get the dynamic fuckwit java right!

13 = ice hockey

15 = well, debatable, the largest fish ever caught in uk freshwater was a sturgeon but no-one knows how it got there, otherwise it's either the salmon or the Catfish if the monsters in the private lakes have been growiing at the rate they have been in recent years (I'm a bit out of touch with angling, I used to do it a lot)
