I have been tasked with compiling a 'pub quiz' for a bunch of rowdy drunks on Xmas day (my family that is). In past years, I have gone to a local quiz and plagarised their questions..adding in a few researched ones of my own. This year, I have a baby and don't get out quite as easily as I used to, hence no quiz. Can anyone help? What are the best pub quiz questions you have heard this year? The ones that surprised you. Or flummoxed you.


Many thanks in advance and Merry Christmas!

If people post them on here won't that give advance warning to anyone attempting the quiz on the day?


I have done one or two in the past and used some online resources


some of them here


but really it's best to use plenty of your own and make the quiz more personal. Nothing worse than a quizmaster contesting a wrong answer when he/she doesn't even know anything about the question because they are just reading from an "issued" list

Hi Sean, no danger of anyone seeing it. They are not local and are not Forumites. I agree regarding the personal touch. BUT I have run out of time. I work full time and have a baby...NO time for internet searching (she writes whilst sitting at her desk 'working')....


Thanks, Keef. That's a good one.

In what city was the first ever performance of Handel's Messiah? Dublin. Name all 4 ghostbusters. Peter Venkman, Egon Spengler, Winston Zedmore, Ray Stanz. You might want to check those, but I think it's a good question. Name all 4 teenage turtles, with extra points for colour of mask and weapon used (this question was in the mag quiz a few years back). Leonardo blue katana, Raphiel red sai, Michelangelo orange nunchucks and Donatello purple bo staff. God I need to get a life!

Keef, that is so sweet! I can just see 10-year-old Keef running about being a Ninja Turtle.


In order to be helpful and not just wiffling on about Keef, couple of questions off the top of my head:

- Who is Apollo's twin sister in Greek mythology (Artemis)

- Which country won the most medals in the Paralympics (China (211) with GB 2nd with 102)

(scornfully) EVryone knows that!


What I want to know is why female heroes in comic books always wear huge boots, enormous head-dresses, lots of straps and, erm, a very small furry or PVC bikini. And they all look, erm, a bit cold.


*thinks about it for a moment*


*light dawns*


Oh yeah..


OK. Who won the first Nobel prizes, and in what year? (I reckon you could give a point for any)

- Chemistry: Jacobus H. van't Hoff

- Physics: Wilhelm C. R?ntgen

- Physiology or Medicine: Emil A. von Behring

- Literature: Rene F. A. Sully Prudhomme

- Peace: Jean H. Dunant and Fr?d?ric Passy

In 1901.

What is most commonly believed to have been the last song played by the band on the titanic before it went down?


The tune that by far the most survivors reported was the last was "Nearer My God to Thee". (although no band members survived to confirm this).


It's a good question though I think.

Okay smartypants, who was She-ra's nemesis?


Hordak.


I can't think of any other female heroes that dress as you describe, other than Wonder Woman. And to be fair, She-ra would have been a lot warmer in a snow storm than her brother!

Humph, really didn't mean to start a posting frenzy of nearly naked buxom sword-wielding comic ladies, but I guess I should have thought ahead.


Q - Whose was the shortest US Presidency?

A - William Henry Harrison, who died of pneumonia in 1841 within a month of his first term. How much would that suck after all the campaigning?! Answer - a lot.

No. Slash lived in Crystal Palace, I read an interview with him where he said the Dinosaurs in the park were one of his earliest memories. And Bowie, although originally from Brixton, lived in Beckenham. I'd never heard that Bowie babysat for Slash before but CP's not far from Beckenham. Oh, it's like stella street.

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
