Full details to follow in the coming weeks....but, if you are interested in taking part in a knockout MIMIR competition focused on Sport, please pop me an email to daniel@thequizaddict.com and you will be first to know when sign ups open.

This first competition will be free to play and you will have 2-3 weeks slots to play your game so it wont be too much pressure on what I know is already a busy quiz schedule.

Book Suggestion: Nice to See It, To See It, Nice: The 1970s in front of the Telly - Brian Viner



Just a quick book suggestion today and it comes in the form of  the Brian Viner work 'Nice to see it, to see it nice: The 1970s in front of the Telly'. Its part memoir/part history British TV in the 1970s and in terms of facts useful for quizzing it is packed full of them! Excellent tales, summaries and information on the kind of programmes that are asked about all the time in quizzing. Being 35, a lot of these shows are well before my time so I am always tripping up on them in quizzes and books like this are essential to me, to keep the knowledge going.

Well worth your time and aside from its quizzing value, its a very good read!

10 Years of The Quiz Addict!

 


With everything going on it has escaped my attention that I launched this blog now over 10 years ago! Although I've blogged some years more than others, I was pretty surprised when I realised 10 years had passed since I set up this blog. So much has happened since in both my personal life and quizzing life, but thanks to everyone who has ever read the blog, posted a comment, followed an amazon link or used any of the questions I have posted!
