I, Charlotte quizmistress of Scruffy's for one year and eight months, High priestess of the Church of Scruffy's and defender of the *Dave*, would like to officially declare that I have no personal problems with any of the other quizmasters in Karlsruhe. I do not feel threatened or intimidated by them and will continue fulfilling my role to the best of my ability without hindering another quiz in any way. I will only approach the opposition if I believe that they are imitating my quiz (as in copying ideas) and may have to duel them with water pistols. Other than that I am happy to assist the 'beginners' (people who have been organising a quiz for a smaller time period than me) if they require it.

The person who won the toilet roll was absent (aka Jimmy), the next runner up was a wee bit too drunk and far away, so English Liam is the next one to join the toilet roll hall of fame. We had a tie of 8 teams (!?) for second and third and one woman managed to beat seven men in the tie break for the pitcher, in an example of true girl power. And no, I didn't ask for the capital of Finnland ;)
