Pub Quizzing Names

have you faced the ignominy of getting it back yet mr_e?

Whilst it's still fresh in my beer-addled mind: who the hell steals a cake tin from a pub!? Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the bar staff have just forgotten someone's handed it in, being occasionally muppet-like, but they'd remember a cake tin. That is likely to feature in our team name next week, if I'm still annoyed about it (I even swore in front of Gosia! How shocking is that?).

Very shocking. On the other side of the coin - how dispointing that they did not read out our team name yesterday?!

What was the team name again? I think I had one too many pints of Black Sheep, but I did sleep very well last night. They didn't even wait for the second copies of the quiz sheets: they were in a major hurry!

Time to think about buying a new cake tin, which means I may get around to doing it before Christmas...

The team name was 'Red Lorry, Yellow Lorry' shamelessly forcing the quiz person to drop his major 'r's'!

I think we were probably the reason why he only read out the winners team name!

I bet we were not the only ones to play that one though. . . . actually maybe we were! :D

Did we win? :D

An agonising second place with 44 points, one off the leaders. One of our answers may have been generously marked...by us...on the wipeout round, so second is good.

The winners got 51 John! I may be an English teacher but i'm sure that's more than one off?!

Who'd trust an English teacher to count stuff? I'll have you know I've got a maths A-level. Cheeky mare.

Yes, I did indeed totally forget what the winning score actually was. I'll resist the temptation to edit my post and just take the shame.

Einstein could not count. What is your point?

I thought Einstein was supposedly dyslexic, not innumerate? I assume you've realised that first sentence was mock indignation? How many quiz masters does it take to change a lightbulb?

Mock indignation! :D Hum, likely. Maybe it was the unusual state of sobriety!

Well the depleted 'Clueless and Proud' managed to get a creditable fourth place with 34 points last night!
