Quiz hit by opioid scandal

12 October 2023

Busy with a capital B, and indeed U, last night as University term hit its stride and as acknowledged by Michael’s word round.

Winning score 35, then 34, 32… notwithstanding controversy over fentanyl and OxyContin. Fortunately, teams were all too appreciatively immersed in the Black Grouse oaked porter from the Allendale brewery to care.

Cheers
