So you actually want to know something about me? Why? Are you bored? Oh well. Just to satisfy your idle curiosity and my manic egotism I’ll tell you something about me!!!
I am a 44-year-old guy, who lives in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire England. I was born in Lancashire, England, during September 1979. Most people don’t believe me that I was born in England due to my strong Scottish accent. My star sign is Libra. I am 5’9” tall, 30″ waist, with blonde hair, which is sometimes short, sometimes long. I have light brown eyes. Which most people think are very sexy. I just don’t see it, myself.

Nine Teams in Willoughby Pub Quiz
Thirty six players made up nine teams that had turned up to take part in Quiz Night at the Willoughby Arms.
Lots of regular quizzers with one or two new faces; HMG made up of three archaeologists, popped into the pub on Monday saw the flyer for the quiz and came back to play; which just shows that it pays to advertise.
Fireworks made up the picture round; the old fashioned type like from years gone by, jumping jack, roman candle, not forgetting the (now banned) banger.
The music round, tenuously linked to bonfire night went down well, not so many moans and groans – Jumping Jack Flash, Boom Bang-a-Bang, Rocket Man, We Didn’t Start The Fire, not forgetting Something’s Burning by Kenny Rogers.
Weird Fish were down to two players this month, Lone Ranger and Tonto also two players sat not too far away, I wonder how they would have done if they had joined forces for the evening?
In fourth place were United Staits with 131, third place Buffer Stops with 133, in second HMG with 138 but congratulations this month go to Please Repeat the Question with 141 points.
The Christmas Quiz – slightly different format, not so many questions, with
bonus points for santa hats or Christmas fancy dress. Tuesday 11th December.

Bonfire Night Party : 3rd November 2012
The dust – (or should that be the mud?) had barely settled from this year’s Fair when we plunged into finalising the arrangements for this year’s Bonfire Night Party. Please make sure you put down Saturday evening, 3rd November, in your diaries. The arrangements will be as for last year with the crowd area on the field at the cross roads between Little Bytham Road/Clipsham Road and Station Road/Holywell Road. There will be the usual bar/BBQ from 5.30 pm, available to keep out the autumnal chills so bring along friends to enjoy the evening. When I first started the Bonfire Night parties the Fair Committee took something of a gamble as we had no idea whether the event would be popular and had some concern that we might have to drink all the mulled wine and eat the hot dogs ourselves. Instead it has proved an overwhelmingly popular event and the numbers attending continue to grow. We rely on our sales of good food and drink and a small grant from the Parish Council to largely finance the evening and want to continue the free access to the display if we can. “Just in case” we are looking to put up more marquee coverage this year – some of our team are complaining that they are still drying out from the downpour we had on the morning of the Fair. I tell them not to worry – we are made of sterner stuff in the Bythams and can take anything the weather can throw at us – which reminds me, were did I put my long johns? Remember, remember the 3rd of November with whizz bangs, burgers and beer!
