JOE’s doing a quiz, JOE’s doing a quiz, everybody quiet ’cause JOE’s doing a quiz
What stage of “lockdown” are we in now? In my mind there are five stages of lockdown. First there was Love Is Blind lockdown – we all binged this show over the first couple of weeks of working from home. Feels like a long time ago now. I just hope that Barnett and Amber are still happy together.
Then there was Tiger King lockdown when we all suddenly decided to invest eight hours of our time on a show about a zoo owner which, in hindsight, wasn’t that good. How desperate we were for any form of new entertainment?
Then the Bundesliga period began in mid-May. The return of football of any kind saw everyone adopt a German team, discover a German grandparent and religiously tune in at 2:30pm every Saturday with a stein of Staropramen until the proper football came back and we all dropped the facade.
Then there was the Premier League lockdown phase, when it suddenly dawned on us that having every single match televised in a different time slot is not actually what anyone wants. But it’s on, so we’ll watch it.
On to the quiz…
