Raising money for Cancer Research
David Gilroy
I lead a marketing agency who specialise in helping law firms become more successful online. I also have a 'passion project' which is running Fuckup Nights in Bristol, an event aimed at helping us all learn from failure.
Yesterday evening it was great fun to while away a couple of hours raising ￡370 for our charity of the year, Cancer Research. The first half-hour was the fabulous Pete Heat 'doing his thing'. Close up magic over Zoom. Even when you know what's coming it's still amazing!
Then straight into a six-round quiz with topics like legal films, orange (obvs) and my favourite, the names of dog cartoon characters!
The winning teams were :-
- The Codfather - 70pts who won a ￡100 donation to a charity of their choice (Meningitis Trust)
- The Beer Hunter - 66pts - an orange chocolate hamper
- Star Wart - 64pts - a free social media workshop (with yours truly)...which as it was a 'family team' of one of my team is probably going to go unclaimed, unless Mia's 'competitive dad' really wants it ;-)
A big thank you to the following people who entered teams Lynne Squires, Clive Smith, Jen Skingsley, Philip Tate, David Baskerville x 2, Melanie Farqyahson, Rose Boddy, Mia Harris, Katie Blake, Tina Cheesley, Vidisha, Amy Bell, Tim Prior, Simon Wright, Neil Lloyd-Evans
Oh, and the team names? You had to pick a film name and change just one letter. Besides the winners, the other team names were :-
- Paws
- Gone with the Wine
- The Great Escope
- Singing in the Brain
- Breathloss
- Top Fun
- Apocalypse Not
- The Lion Sking (helps to know that the family name of the team is Skingsley ;-)
- Pilates Of The Carribean
- Fhor
- RaveHeart (clive smith)
- Pie Hard 2: Pie Harder
- Supermat
Again, thanks to everyone for supporting us.

4 年I think the hardest part of the night was trying to think of a film related team name, and then remembering to change the letter and not type the film at the end of each round - to avoid my son pointing out I’d done it wrong, again. Well done to you all we had a great time.
