The scene of the crime was at "The Local" during the monthly quiz night. All teams were handed out, as usual, the picture round and the theme for this was identifying films. The Street Walkers team are absolutely rubbish at films. To our amazement we were handed out the sheet of paper that included the answers which had been blanked out with tippex. Well, what would you have done? I had on my person a torch and we used our initiative (very admirable we thought) and shone the torch through the blanked out areas and we were then able to read the answers!
We thought the Quizmaster would be impressed for an instant and then he would realize something was amiss because to date we have usually come last being unable to answer many questions on films, pop music and TV. We were rumbled very quickly by the team marking our papers, but despite the marks being deducted we, unusally, tied for first place. The tension mounted as a decider question was asked, but blow me down - the subject was films!!! In the circumstances the right team won.
I think we may be banned or perhaps we had better settle for coming last - oh, no, no no, the boobie prizes are brilliant so that would not do at all. The Street Walkers will try their very best to come second last next month!

Am most impressed. At both your criminal intelligence coming to the fore... and the fact that you almost won!! Rock on, next year. x
Oh you were so naughty and fancy you knowing these criminal things in the first place. I am shocked!

I'm shocked too. Shocked that I would never have thought of such a billiant scam. I must be slipping! Well done "street walkers". Respect.
It sounds like something from the Lavender Hill Mob!
You should have had points added for initiative. Very clever! But soo naughty:-)
I am sure that torches will be confiscated in future!
Would like to have spied you trying to squint through the Typex!!! Well done!
that is so funny.........made me chuckle.
Thanks for the exercise, I am going to give it a try to see if I can speed up my recovery!!

By the way they always say the innocent looking ones are the worst ones!!!!
That's funny! I remember going to a pub quiz with a friend who had just finished a PhD. She said, 'There weren't many cell biology questions, were there?'

How did you manage to shine the torch through the paper without anyone noticing? That takes talent!!
