Trivia night at the Ivy

Playing to a packed room, Quizmaster Geoff spun a merry load of questions, the answers to which almost entirely eluded me.

Tonight I learnt that a dead head in ships terms is a non-paying passenger. That the boot that Charlie Chaplain ate in the film Goldrush was made of licorice, and that a aibohphobia is an irrational fear of palindromes.

So there you have it! No prizes, or subsequent surprises for me tonight!
