Little VictoriesI recently received a £2 voucher from a supermarket after complaining vociferously about the poor quality of their own-brand Rich Tea biscuits, which I spent on more tasty, tasty biscuits. Tell us about your trivial victories that have made life a tiny bit better.

EPIC QUIZ TWATA few months ago, me and a couple of mates went for a few cheeky pints of a Sunday night in our local. Lo and behold, there was a quiz on.
We did OK, I think we came second. But, between each round there were spot questions, which were answered individually, rather than as part of your team.
The first question was, "how many calories are burned in half an hour of ice skating?" I hazarded a guess at about 300, and lo and behold, my guess was the closest! The prize was a free pint. Yum.
"What's the length of the River Nile?" I reckoned about 4,000 miles, and lo and behold, I was right! Another free pint!
By this point my mates were lagging behind me and my scrumptious free booze, and I began to feel guilty. So out of my "beer credit" - and the kindness of my own heart - I decided to buy my mates a pint each.
It took me a good day or so to realise that what I'd actually done is just pass my free pints onto them, making them the actual winners. Krang: good at random facts and figures, absolutely useless at maths.
