So today is Star Wars day apparently. I didn’t get that memo but the force was with us a few weeks ago.
I suggested a quiz at work. Except, I got to Friday and hadn’t prepared the questions.
Coming downstairs between calls, I asked the kids whether they’d mind setting some questions. I suggested a Star Wars theme. ‘Why’? Ok then, fun facts about Britain?
Star Wars it is then.
I was a bit concerned when I read through the questions later – I managed a score of 4.
And that’s including the one I got which they said didn’t have a right answer… we managed to sort that out…
So we got to 5pm, and work colleagues were treated to the Quiz Show.
I’m not sure the like will ever be experienced again…
Including, my daughter kicking off with a classic anecdote… my colleagues all heard that I didn’t hug my family a lot, so she’d recommended I just pretend to give people a right hook and turn it into a hug instead…
And, of course, my son accidentally taking a slug of gin, instead of his lemonade.
So in case you need five minutes of diversion:
- Name 3 planets in Star Wars?
- Why is Star Wars called Star Wars?
- What colour was Luke Skywalker’s light sabre?
- Name 3 types of bad guy troops?
- Name 3 good guys?
… then it got a bit tricky, culminating in …
In how many parsecs did Han Solo’s ship do the Kessel Run?
