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.

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

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

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
Don't listen to him.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 1 Mar 2011, 15:39, Reply)

Oh thanks
The word wrong'un helped, I suppose.

It was the clencher...sorry, clincher.

( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 1 Mar 2011, 15:29, Reply)

Howzat?

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!
