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


Recommended Posts

No word from Jamma - does that mean no win?????


Okay - we're next out on 8th May - would prefer Hoopers but willing to go to any quiz that has good competition. There have been plenty of people on this thread who seem to think they are up to the challenge but we've yet to go head to head yet.


Any teams up for that date? Hoopers or elsewhere?

Bah, babysitter let us down last minute so didn't make the quiz which well pissed me off.

Not sure what date we'll be back in action, possibly the Clockhouse on Tues. But nutty choose your venue well, we will destroy any challengers at the Hoopers quiz absolutely guaranteed.

Oh Mr(s) Nutty, you are soon to feel the force of a fully operational quiz machine.

And once we are finished with you we shan't return to Hoopers we'll move on and you'll keep going there and you'll win again but you'll always know that any future wins just don't really count because somewhere out there is a crack quiz team who could crush you on a whim.

The 'mystery' year round, question one - In what year was 1984? FFS.

Connections round, question one - What connects people who have names that are types of birds? Jeeesus.

International pub quiz convention dictates that 6 is the maximum permissable number of members in a quiz team. And bussing in folk from far away is frowned upon.

We clearly misfired (that was our worst result in any quiz ever) due to the fact we hadn't been together for about six months and we had to field one substitute. The inquest has begun and we shall regain our previous invincibility. So you won on your home turf (which was shit), bring it to The Plough next week and let's see how you fare.

"In what year was 1984?"


Should that read "..written?" otherwise the answer is probably 1984.


Mind yuo, this is from the quiz that insisted the Israelites ate a poisoned apple on the trek to the promised land.

hmmmm - it would have been much easy to slate a quiz for being for dumbasses had you actually won. I don't think you even made it into the top two and kept quiet about who you were.


Admittedly it was fairly childish of us to name our team "Not Jamma" but the purile pleasure of hearing Jamie finish the evening with...


"..and the winners are 'Not Jamma'"


..was too good to pass up - if a little presumptious of us when naming our team at the start.


Okay - when is the plough one - I'll try and raise the troops. I doubt there will be as many of us next time, a couple of extras just came along for a drink, the core team of four or so holds the brainpower.


Don't get the comment about "bussing in folk from far away is frowned upon"?

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
