Pubquiz interruptus

We were about to enter on the last round of last night's quiz, when the power cut out. Lights, internet, all but the merest trickle of mobile phone, just enough to know that the other city resident on the team was similarly affected. The Quizmaster, who lives on the edge of the city, lost power briefly, but we were out for two hours (I went to bed, but durham_rambler sat up and waited for it to return).

We had, in a sense, been in the dark all evening, because the Quizmaster, in his constant attempt to outwit the 'home' team, had produced a sports-themed quiz which, even given his quirky approach to any theme, was designed to target our area of weakness.

This is the second power cut in as many weeks. The previous one was overnight, which was less obviously disruptive.
