I feel compelled to point out that having psyched myself up for today's quiz as per normal, around 7 seconds in I was subjected to deliberate and relentless distraction tactics, resulting in me losing an incalculable amount of valuable seconds. I shall leave it at that, save to add that A (certain) Woman was left with mixed feelings of triumph coupled with disappointment that I still managed to get 9 right.
I'd demand a steward's enquiry, but there's no way he's going to get to see what I was subjected to.
