i would like to use "if you really loved me, you'd swallow my quiz" but have never had the guts.

we are "barely legal", which is funny until you consider how depressingly accurate it actually is.

I've never been in a pub quiz. Truefact.

I don't even know what a pub quiz is.

( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 1 Mar 2011, 15:32, Reply)

That's why you went to the pub, it's fun
Like being on a gameshow in your local driniking establishment
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 1 Mar 2011, 15:33, Reply)

I usually go to the pub to drink and have fun
not be forced into some shit competition I know I won't win

Perhaps if they played Celine Dion is they did it?
but that's going too far
( Colonel Dracula Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf, Tue 1 Mar 2011, 15:46, Reply)

don't be ridiculous
death would then be a welcome release
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 1 Mar 2011, 15:48, Reply)

It would also scare the crowd away
They've come to see blood curdling horror, not hear it
( Colonel Dracula Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf, Tue 1 Mar 2011, 15:55, Reply)

Michael Bolton would probably be worse. Or Kenny G

i fucking love pub quizzes. it's a combination of having a stupidly retentive memory, so i know a lot of pointless trivia, and being a competitive lawyer. sorry.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 1 Mar 2011, 15:26, Reply)

I know useless trivia, but don't know how many Kings we've had called James. Or Henry.

5 and 8?

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 1 Mar 2011, 15:29, Reply)

I still don't know so it's pointless asking

2 and 8
unless you're Scottish, because James I became King following the 1707 Act of Union, but he was James VI of Scotland

Your arse is in a right '2 & 8'. I'll warrant.

3/10
On the grounds that if you have to explain it, and you will, it's not funny
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 1 Mar 2011, 15:36, Reply)

It's not my fault you don't know 'entry level'* Cockney rhyming slang.

4/10
Two marks deducted for undeserved self-congratulation
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 1 Mar 2011, 15:42, Reply)

But 4 added for your inability to detect self-deprecating sarcasm.

Based on previous form,
I could hardly be blamed for thinking that it was arrogance

I need a straight answer
but I guess I'm barking up the wrong'un with you.
(Sorry, I shouldn't have even tried...)
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 1 Mar 2011, 15:35, Reply)

Ordinarily that would be 1/10
but you get 4/10 because you do this so infrequently
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 1 Mar 2011, 15:37, Reply)

And you provoked me, by mentioning the scoring system in the first place.

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 1 Mar 2011, 15:37, Reply)

I say a strong 7/10

I fail on geography, sport and soaps unfortunately

Better than the pub quiz is the IT Box
Especially if your local is full of stupid people who like the pretty pictures and are happy throwing pound after pound into it just to pick boxes on Deal or no Deal, with no comprehension of any of the questions.

It makes it so much easier for anyone with half a brain to win money!

Once upon a time a few of us competed as "Everything's Coming Up Daisy"
cos one of our members was called Daisy. She looked mortified. She had no right, two team members were shagging her at the time.

Team names at my pub quiz are usually aimed at me.
At our alumni quiz it's always puns that win, so I came up with Love Don't Trivia Anymore and we won.

we had a work pub quiz as part of our social day last year
I didn't go but one of the guys in the office proudly told me the next morning that his team had won. I jokingly asked if anyone had been using their phone and he just said "yes, we did". I think I swore at him, he didn't understand why I was so affronted, but using your phone in a quiz is despicable.

but that's the thing
they're not worth cheating for. The pub quiz we used to do the prizes weren't up to much, usually whatever hooch they couldn't get rid of like peach brandy or creme de cassis.
