The much anticipated quiz

 Guess who has set us all a quiz to test our knowledge of Listowel?

Since the quizmaster believes me to be too knowledgeable on the subject, I am debarred from taking part. So off you all go and delve into the annals and the brainboxes of local denizens and see if you can come up with some answers. last time this quiz ran we had a great time solving the riddles. Hopefully this time round it will be just as enjoyable. May the best man win!
