full strength axis fail to impress
Last night, in an undisclosed West London pub, six beautiful young people gathered in celebration of their wit and a shared love of drink. They came from far corners of their neighbourhood, keeping to the shadows in the darkening night, flinching at the sound of nearby sirens.
One by one they took their places at their table, exchanged greetings and knowing glances, got the drinks in and prepared themselves.
The Axis of Evil were ready.
The quiz, however, was running late, so they had to wait a little longer.
Nerves were fraying, drinks disappearing too rapidly (Sof...) and non-smoking resolutions disregarded. This was it. The first time a full strength Axis of Evil had gathered to take on the might of such big hitters as Team Name (regular winners but clearly misguided in their belief that they had conjured up a decent name for themselves) and A Gathering Storm (a little older and less attractive than our Beloved Axis but dangerous nonetheless).
Despite a strong start, the Axis's ignorance of mediocre 80s hits led to their eventual downfall. Not even an inspired knowledge by Daws of the Tories' proposed tax cuts could save them. They limped into fourth place.
It wasn't to be.
Dejected, but not cowed, the Axis will return. A regime change may be considered, with certain members vulnerable to a potential coup by anyone with a decent music knowledge. However, the core remains and the Axis are determined to conquer.
This is only the beginning.
