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 have had multiple jobs completed at my home by T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD, and I wouldn't go to anyone else now. They always come at the agreed day/time, I have never been asked to rearrange. The jobs have always been completed to extremely high standards, and as a perfectionist myself, I appreciate this level of care and detail. I'm grateful of the clear up afterward too, leaving me very little to do after the job is done. I am always blown away by the speed and efficiency  - no waffle, no flannel, just sheer hard work from start to finish. In summary - a highly professional first class service. Don't hesitate to call T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD, if you like excellence and trade people that will respect your home. 
    • Or increase tax.  The freezing of personal allowances is one way, not what I would choose.  On principle I don't care if the rich immigrate.  The main parties could have been more honest before the election.  Reform is deluded.
    • I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here.
