No Quiz on St Patrick's Day - 17 March

Dear Quiz fans,

St Patrick's Day, 17 March, falls on a Wednesday this year. If things go as usual, the Green Linnet -- and every other Irish pub in the world -- will be packed with people who are more interested in testing their capacity for alcohol than exercising their grey matter.

The Green Linnet Quiz will not take place on Wednesday 17 March.

Cependant, puisque je vous aime bien, je propose de décaler exceptionnellement le Quiz afin de ne pas vous priver de votre dose hebdomadaire.

Alors, qui serait pour un Quiz le mardi 16 mars?
