Pub quiz at Finnegan's Wake Irish pub

it's quite a fun mix of questions.
hab' kein angst.

t.

ah, ok, then I'll be ok then. on trivial pursuit - haven't played in ages, but used to have the original one - i used to do well on the blue, the brown so-so, but was awful on the entertainment (pink) and if there was anything about baseball in sports, forget it

That'll make us a good team then.
Mat and I are crap at Geography and Literature. Mat's good at sport and all sorts of general knowledge. I'm good at entertainment and SOME general stuff (depends) - we were a good team with Tor - and Jules, the waitress.

Let's make the Guinea Pigs weep... (Dave, you would like that, too, wouldn't you?!!!)

Looking forward to meeting you - off to medieval market now

i'll be the guy with the bike helmet and portable bike seat, dressed in bike shorts. I'll be taking the bus.

I would love to join although I'm crap at this kind of stuff. Luckily there is alway a beer alternative.

How would I recognize you all? Is everyone wearing a helmet? :-)

I certainly will wear my beige shoues and matching bag. Not sure about the rest ?-)

With Tor, Silty, Mat and me we are four already, and it depends if Jules wants to play with us or not, we'll know that when we're there.
But if we have a full team already I'm sure we will find another nice team for you. And we can always still sit together.
Ask the bar staff or the quizmaster for Mat and Karin, most of them know us (if they are not very new).

and it looks like cookie and cookette are coming...
unless they have changed their mind.

Hello, "cookette" here. (Very cute.) I'm Laurel and Cookie is my husband Matt. We will both be there. Matt is a Trivia King and I guess I'm along for a good time. We'd love someone to take us under their wing.

thanks, i try

i'm sure we'll sort something out.

i'll try to be there about 5.45... i'm hard to miss, at 6'5'' with long brown hair and a beer in hand.

i'll pm you my mobile number just in case.

Tor

Was nice to meet up with you guys at the quiz and put faces to names. Hopefully see you again on Sunday - normal time of 20:30.

Yep we had a great time too! We will definitely be there next Sunday. How was the karaoke?

I had a good time too! But no more cider for me please

karaoke was good, except a few questionable attempts :-O

C u on Sunday!

Leyli

Ok... sunday morining roll call...

Tor!

Present!

Matt and I will be there.

If my legs can still carry me, I will be there.

Anyone going tonight?

I am, in about an hour :-)

would if i was in town... but i'm in Bayreuth!

Never mind. Hammonia & I got a respectable 4th place by ourselves.

Hey, I might be up for this Sunday assuming Saturday night/Sunday morning isn't too heavy... anyone gonna be down..?

We're out of town this weekend. Maybe next week.

aah, I'm in London again next week (I think!) so it'll be more likely the week after! Doing Fishmarkt after work on Sunday morning so doubtless will be too pizzled for general knowledge by that point anyway!

Anyone going this Sunday??

Sorry, we'll be at the Chili Peppers concert.

We are in for tonight, but I wish I had Chili Pepper tickets...

We will try to get there by 8 and snag a table.

See u there!

hello there, live in Frankfurt however will be in Hamburg for a week on business, could a newbee pop in on your pop quize night??

JenVan, I will be in Munich this weekend, but you should just get yourself along there. Maybe Cookieaddict, Marymanu, Darjeeling or even Hammonia will be present??

Sorry Cookie and I haven't been by in awhile. Out of town and then I was sick. We should be there this weekend for sure.

Jen, definitely come by. My husband and I were newbies a few months ago and came without knowing anyone. There was a large table of people from Toytown and everyone was very welcoming. It's lots of fun and there's plenty of good beer and salt and vinegar flavored chips/crisps too.

Anyone fancy it tonight?

Yeah, I might do actually... What time does it kick off, how do I get there etc etc?
I was suppose to be meeting some laydeeeez later but I think I've been stood up. Bah. If I don't hear from them then quiz antics it is...

8.30pm. Get the S-bahn from Reeps to Jungfernstieg. If you're facing the Rathaus, take the road left of it and walk about 200 metres until you come to Borsenbrücke. There's a tea-shop on the corner. When you're there, you'll be able to see the pub.

Safe!

I shall be wearing a carnation in my buttonhole, or something.

Assuming these wretched birds don't pull their fingers out and call me.

I'll also give it my best shot...looking at the weather though, and being stuck with public transport, I hope there is a good place to hang me to drip dry

I just got caught outside in that... then when I got back I realised I'd left the skylight in my room open... (and my bed just happens to be underneath it...) Doh indeed.

So I guess that means you will be there tonight for sure then...Unless of course these girls you wait for like water bed action :-P LOL.

yeah, looks like it...

look for the guy with the goatee and the black-framed glasses possibly with two black guys.

So, yeah, I came down, but managed to miss the first few rounds (as usual work stuff intervened at the last minute and I had to take up a load of flooring) but then of course realised I had no clue what anyone looked like, and wasn't feeling up to randomly wandering about asking people if I knew them off the interweb. Got chatting to some random english dudes at the bar, had a couple of mini-pints (bit steep at nearly 4 euros for 400mls! - that's about €40 just to get pissed!) and decided to trundle back home for something to eat... I might have been a bit more sociable if I hadn't had a fairly crappy end to last night then been stood up and had my bed rained in... Next time though!

Anyone going tonight?

i have to work on Sunday, but i'll bump this anyway!

anyone for the quiz tonight?

I'd be up for going

yeah why not. I'm feeling kinda shitty, though. this cold is a beeeyatch!

Glad you can make it Sami See ya at 8:15?

R

We won't be making it tonight. Hopefully next week!

Yeah man, I#lll be down...

OK so there was no quiz, but we got to watch a load of big men playing with their oddly-shaped balls (the rugby was on).
Still fun though.

Psychedelics, hope youdidn't miss the last train back. Should be OK though I think!

Thanks for showing me back to the U-bahn (the thing I don't know) haha I found my way to Sternschanze and then to Altona thank fucking shit. I walked from there and I bought a beer on the way (a turkish shop in ottensen). I am having difficulty with this message. It took 10 minutes to correct my spelling. Peace

Haha, you lightweight.

Although if you live within walking distance of Altona you could just walked as far as Reeperbahn station then it wouldn't have been so far! Actually I am quite surprised how close all these districts are to each other! I always assumed Hamburg was a bit of a sprawl but I reckon you could walk from Altona to Jungfergsteig in about 30 minutes brisk walk. Mind you I am kind used to walking fairly long distances, 'cos my home town in England (Exeter) has 0 public transport after 2200 so you get used to long walks from one side of the city to the other.
