We didn’t win the Big Quiz, but we did put in a respectable effort to come joint 6th out of over 280 teams. The final scores (look for team name “The Hammer”) put us as joint 4th, but if you follow that methodology the last-placed team is joint 44th, so I’ll settle for 6th. In any case we were only 4 points off the winning score.

The Quiz itself was also a success, in that it succeeded in setting a new world record for the largest number of participants in a table quiz: 1141.

I’m messing with the stylesheet of the site at the moment, so please ignore any oddness.

Eamon Ryan has decided not to continue with his attempt to get a presidential nomination, so we will not have an election after all. There is also a news story on RTÉ. I can understand the reasons put forward, but I was really looking forward to a campaign.

There is still a slim chance of an election going ahead, if Dana or Vincent Salafia can get themselves nominated, but in all likelihood Mary McAleese will be nodded through for another seven years.

Eamon Ryan TD has announced that he is seeking a nomination to run for President. You can hear him being interviewed about this on RTÉ Radio One’s News at One. I think Eamon is an excellent candidate and look forward to the campaign!
