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

[Keef]

Always nice to see a bit of modesty.

[Jamma]

So anyone dare to challenge my mighty quiz power at The Plough tonight?

[SeanMacGabhann]

on the same night that we lose Inside 72 and gutrocking comedy at the EDT??

Good luck anyway!

[nutty]

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?

[Jamma]

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.

[nutty]

Okay Hoopers 8th May it is then - our home patch on which we are unbeaten....

[Keef]

Have you tried the CPT quiz on a Wednesday? That is usually a challenge!

[nutty]

Thursday is quiz night!

maybe we'll switch to a weds for the our next meet up.

[Jamma]

What are you talking about Keef? The Apprentice is on on a Wednesday.

[Keef]

There is that Jamma, but I never said I would be there!

Actually I was asked to do next week's quiz (I sometimes fill in), but can't. I shall certainly post here if I am going to be quiz master at any stage.

[nutty]

changed the name of this thread since it seems to be the central point for Pub Quiz gauntlet laying....

[Jamma]

Ok babysitter permitting the 8th is looking like a goer, with a fully operational team. You, Mr(s) Nutty, are going down.

[giggirl]

What/where is Hoopers?

we had a great forum drinks there last summer - looked after us they did

[Jamma]

Right, my quiz team and I are having second thoughts about Hoopers. We'll win wherever we go so which is likely to have the bigger pot as a prize - Hoopers or The Plough?

[nutty]

Tonight is the night - and it appears that Jamma is running scared....

[Jamma]

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.

[nutty]

Oh - I'm so looking forward to your decimation this evening.... be prepared to be taught a quizzing lesson...

[Jamma]

Of course we could make it interesting and introduce a little side bet....

[nutty]

You are assuming I'll make myself known to you at the pub (I might do if we win) :)

[nutty]

...no comments Jamma?

[Jamma]

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.

[mockney piers]

"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.

[Jamma]

No the word written does not belong there. It was a dumbass quiz for dumbasses.

[nutty]

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"?
