The Quiz Table

On the table will usually be:

2 iPods - we make no claims to be skilled djs, so there's no vinyl snobbery. We do, however, have a lot of music and using iPods is the best way to work.

A CD player or two - rarely used anymore, handy for hiding the iPods behind.

A £30 mixer from ebay - we don't even use it properly, if you ignore the fader you get another channel.

A microphone - for quizzing.

Quiz paraphernalia - answer sheets, questions, scores, pens etc.

An electro shocker - for tie-breakers. Pop-Up Pirate might return.

Our drinks - a mixture of maybe John Smith's, Foster's, vodka, rum and juice if someone is driving.
