Less than 3 months to go before the Lionel Terror commences. :)

Will there be a surfeit of pub questions ?

Will Lionel employ a GA and have a man flu jab so we are not kept waiting for 30 hours for an answer ?

Will another NC take the title ?

Which Stroudy will turn up this year ?

How long will the Golbourne question be in coming ?

Who will be the first to cry “farce” ?

Will Lez break his duck.

So many questions. I am impatient for the moosic question.

Meanwhile, Swanny has been installed as the early 5/2 favourite.

I’m just hoping there’s more questions about ecfc and not as many about the geography / landmarks of Exeter, to give us exiles a chance.

I request that an answer be given to each question.

Is that request aimed at the shy contestants or the Esteemed Quizmater ? :S

P.S. you are 6-1. A good each way bet I think as you go well in this format. I anticipate you are not NC and if so you are not likely to win. :(

I actually have man flu at the moment as i very unselfishly thought i should get the 2018 bout over before the quiz started. The sacrifices i make etc etc.

No definite news on a GA yet. The application window is still open but, to be honest, the calibre hasn't been great so far so i might go solo.

The bank of clues is growing and, to date, there's only one pub question. It looks like quite an easy one at first glance but will require full workings to gain the pointage.

Excellent news that the Quizmater is assiduously gathering clues and going beyond the realms of duty in self infecting himself.

Might I respectfully suggest Swanny as GA which would give the rest of us a better chance ?

I was referred to as a GA in the August Perdiction Thread, but I'm not a candidate for the role.

I have been admired in the past, but I'm probably a little past my best now.

I predict that as usual the clues will be far too obtuse for me to get a look in.
