2024 hey? What a year.
It’s the final pub quiz of 2024, so we will test your knowledge of the year we’ve all enjoyed/endured.
It’s like the Channel 4’s Big Fat Quiz of the Year, but without Jimmy Carr’s laugh – and shorter.
The Olympics. The Euros. Elections on both sides of the pond. A disastrous Wonka experience. It’s a year that’s had it all.
But anyway, I won’t waffle on. There’s leftover turkey to be eaten, and quiz questions to be answered.
To all you quizzers, a big thank you for another great year, see you in 2025, and for the final time this year – QUIZ!
