Talking of which - I had my copy out only last night to check on the
exact text of "Father William".  We were looking at last year's King
William's College Quiz, published on 24th December in the Guardian.  If
they do the same this year it's well worth seeking out.  The questions
at first seem impossible, but they yield to a bit of concentration and
it's a great way of distracting people over the Christmas period.

You can pick up last year's on the Guardian web-site if you want a taste
of what it's like.
