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

[Jamma]

You'll regret this thread nutty. I'm the Scottish media quiz champion of the world three times running, when I bring my team to Hoopers you will lose.

You will know us by the sick team name.

Hooping Cough? (ho ho)

Make sure you post here when you're going and I'll try and get my team there. We are the Hoopers International Quiz Champions 2 times running which sounds about comparable :)

I wouldn't gloat too much nutty - the team you beat last week has won the quiz several times before so we'll be there tomorrow with reinforcements (ie a fourth person!) in a bid to win back our crown.

[nutty]

We'll be back on 13th March so plan your challenge now....

We'll be there! See you on Thursday and may the best team win :))

[nutty]

apologies but a chest infection has kept me away from the EDF (and Hoopers Quiz) for the last week. Will let you know our next planned outing...

[nutty]

okay - we'll be there tomorrow night by the looks of it...

[nutty]

so from that response - it looks like it'll be another simple win for us...

no

no (at least I don't think so)

yes - toasties

don't know - no

Are you going to take part in the quiz Alan?

I'm afraid to say we won again - a few more teams this time so the winnings are mounting up. I'll keep posting here until some quizmasters turn up and we get beat...

Will post the next date we will be turning up shortly...

[nutty]

Looks like we'll be down new on 10th April so hopefully some of you can provide some competition for then.

Jamma (the Scottish media quiz champion) seems to have gone quiet...

[nutty]

Just bouncing this thread in case it encourages any opposition for tonight.

We are still unbeaten and going for our fourth win tonight....

[nutty]

Competition keeps getting better - and the pot went up to ?31 last night. The kebab shop on Lordship Lane might have to close were it not for our winnings...

[Jamma]

We may send an advance party to sniff things out before launching our inevitably successful assault on this quiz. What time does it start?

Anyone been to the quiz in the Vale?

[nutty]

starts about 8pm

[SeanMacGabhann]

a poor showing from the Spic'n'Micks team last night (Mockney, myself + 2 non-forumites) at Hoopers quiz

We scraped a 3rd...

was anyone else who frequents the forum there ?

[nutty]

Not last night - we'll plan our next entry shortly and post here

How many teams last night?

[mockney piers]

I think 6. Our sporting prowess really scuppered us.

Every one learnt a new fact though.

Apparently the Jews ate a poisoned apple in the desert in the flight from Egypt?!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

That must be in some esoteric Kabaalah-type legend - don't appear in the authorised versions as far as I recall.

I'm always up for joining a team though my sporting knowledge is pretty poor.

[mockney piers]

will be glad to have you on board. Did a (very) late sms call to arms, but understandably only one responded.

[Jamma]

Ha ha ha we pissed all over the spick and micks and came second with a team of just two. If we'd fielded a full-strength team we'd have coasted to victory. But with a full strength team (at least 4) the pot wouldn't be big enough to justify turning up. Plus it would be too easy to win so we'll be back only should morale drop at any point in future and we need a win to pick us up.

Owner Jamie's a nice chap though isn't he?

On to the Plough quiz next week. Anyone been to that and know if it's any good and what prize (which we will win) is likely to be?
