Is there going to be any decent competition for the Hoopers Pub Quiz tonight?

[Jamma]

I was well impressed by having someone else name their quiz team after me. Fame indeed. But you have to agree it's a shit quiz. And only 6 teams in it. How much did you 'win'?

Also questions were asked about the fact that your lot seemed to have exactly the same wording for some of your answers as us. Coincidence or something more sinister?

The Plough's on a Thursday. I've yet to try it so it'd be a neutral venue. Hoping to get along next week though, as always, it's dependent on the babysitting situation.

We won over ?40 which seems a pretty good return - I don't think Hoopers keep any of the pot.

"Also questions were asked about the fact that your lot seemed to have exactly the same wording for some of your answers as us. Coincidence or something more sinister?"

Ha - that's brilliant - we spent most of the night getting annoyed with each other as we thought we were saying the answer too loud and have fallen foul (we suspect) in the past of what you are suggesting. Not a chance any of our team would do that.

"the same wording" - give me an example...

I think I've now worked out which team you were at least.

I'll see what I can do re: Thursday but as most of us have "babysitting" issues too we don't make it down that often (which is nice for other quiz goers to get a chance at winning :))

Finally - something for you to peruse until we compete again...

[Jamma]

You got lucky punk. Last night was an aberration for our team. You will never win another pub quiz in this town again. Ever.

Fact.

[nutty]

:)

Next Thursday looking unlikely due to availability - will post here when we're next out.

[Jamma]

Now who's running scared?

You may go to The Plough and win but you'll always know it doesn't really count because somewhere out there is a crack quiz team who can (and has) crushed you on a whim...

[nutty]

OK - next outing is 12th June. Where is the competition going to be - The Plough or Hoopers?

[Jamma]

Fool. You've had your flukey win, just walk away with your dignity intact.

We too are expecting a return to action that week though the venue and date are still to be decided...

[nutty]

looking forward to it - although I was hoping a better challenge would present itself through the forum :)

[Jamma]

I don't suppose anyone knows if there's a music round involved at The Vale quiz?

[SeanMacGabhann]

No idea Jamma re: The Vale, but I know that the music quiz at the George Canning was fiendish

(is that quiz still going btw? It was always teetering on the edge of not happening but good fun nevertheless)

[nutty]

Ok - we'll definitely have a side out tomorrow night - it'll be Hoopers again unless there are specific challenges from elsewhere?

[nutty]

A no show Jamma.... lucky you weren't there as we took another easy victory (with only 4 in our team this time to make you happier)

[Jamma]

No we were at the George Canning on the Tuesday night. But I can exclusively reveal that there is no quiz on a Tuesday night at the Canning. Bah.

Next up it's the Prince Regent in Herne Hill.

Returning to Hoopers time after time shows a lack of ambition Mr Nutty. How many teams did you have to 'defeat' this time? 2?

[nutty]

I posted here to try and find out where competition might be - we'll happily go elsewhere if there is someone to take on - otherwise we quite like the ales at Hoopers...

[nutty]

oh yes - and plus the fact those ales are always paid for by our quiz winnings - that might be another draw...

[CamberwellOz]

Is there a Monday night pub quiz anywhere? Nan is looking after bubs CamberwellOz tonight.

[Jamma]

I think the Youngs pub on Camberwell Grove have a Monday night quiz.

[david_carnell]

The Gowlett. Decent quiz, better beer, best pizza.

[SeanMacGabhann]

strange questions at the Gowlett quiz mind you..

[Jamma]

It's the Prince Regent tomorrow Mr Nutty. Are you man enough?

[nutty]

never been there before - bit late notice - will have to check with the lads...

[nutty]

it's a no go - bit late to expect wives etc to give pink tickets out :)

[Jamma]

So the answer to the question 'are you man enough?' is no then?

It was a good quiz, a proper test unlike Hoopers silliness.

[nutty]

Yep - you've got me bang to rights :)

Tuesday not necessarily the best night but will perhaps try for our next outing (which I will of course post here...)
