Pub quiz at Murphy's Law in Mannheim

Ann MA, spiders is only a topic for one of the rounds this week.

The quiz normally finishes around 11pm at the latest anyway and we don't normally stay much later than the quiz as we all have to work the next day.

As i'm now the Toytown mannheim mascot you'll be able to find me on crutches there about 7.30pm. (No banner on crutches though!)

I'll probably be there

I should be thr ... and maybe 2 more instead of 1 more ... a new indian guy has joined on friday ... so will drag him as well ... looks like the indian majority in the meetings will continue

I'm trying to get more english and ozzies from work to come along to even up the numbers

here is my help for the swotting, can bring myself to look at spiders they freak me out too much, but i remember reading this as a kid.

Spiders facts

A spider is an araneae, an order of arachnid. There are many thousand different kinds of spiders. All spiders have eight legs. Most spiders have eight eyes but some have fewer than eight. They don't have ears, they feel the sound vibrations with tiny hairs on their legs. Their bodies have two parts, the head and the abdomen. The abdomen is plump. Spider blood is light blue. Blood fills up all the empty space in the spider's body, it helps to keep the legs stiff so the spider can walk. Spiders breathe, too. As spiders grow, they molt. That means they shed their old skin and grow a new one. They molt many times before they become adults. Many spiders live for only one year but some, like tarantulas can live much longer. Spiders come in different sizes. Some are fuzzy and others are smooth, and they come in many different colors. Spiders live in many different kinds of places, water, gardens, houses, and the ground. They live where it is hot and where it is cold. They live where it is wet and where it is dry. Some are poisonous and others are not. They all eat insects and some other animals.

Daddy Long Legs- This arachnid is not really a spider, but some people think it is.

If we get the tables in the back, we can put three of them together... but the flip side is we won't hear the questions...

I will also be there around 19:30.

make it me+1 ... sarmishtha has to go house hunting today so she wont be turning up. So it shall be a close call between brits and indians for the majority i think

i'm still iffy.. gonna grab a short nap and see if i feel better

3-2 to the Indians... we'll get you next time!

hmm. think i've missed something! what are you on about Ferkel. i thought it was more 1-0 to the TT girls.

you can try ferkel. Next time it will be us 4 indians too bad we didnt get to choose Bollywood movies as the topic.

@Jodie 1-0 to TT girls ?? how come ?

where do you guys usually sit? i passed by last week but did not see anyone I knew. has TT taken over the whole pub now? cool!

@ethanhunt the girls did better than the boys last night

Elfenstar normally towards the back in the corner but it all depends on where we can get a big enough space for us all. you should come along sometime.

Ferkel it seams we need to recruit more english to the group.

You got it then... it's not the quiz score (that is much more of a whitewash, to the girls, than 1-0 )

Dont worry. We were just making sure you people remain happy

Well, our mascot had hidden her crutches, so it probably wasn't easy to identify us right away...

Hi all!

The other thread has some chat about drink the baileys prizes this weekend! If you are quiz goers then check it out

Hey guys, please chat about saturday here as we have confussed editor bob with my title change.

OK so who is in for Saturday 4pm, Viernheim? (PM for directions)

I think:
Bosveldsboer
1TennisPlayer
Maybe Sunstripped and OlivesAreTheOnlyFruit
DEEVA
Me+2
N-ski+1

I PM'ed a couple of others...

Anyway, anyone who wants to bring something to mix with the baileys feel free, we have 1 bottle whiskey... Tia Maria, Something chocolatey, etc... might be good.

I hope the host has ice!

Oh an anyone who has an ipod stacked with music feel free to bring it. (or CDs)

me and Joerg should be there at some point, but i think we have to go to weinheim after. we'll try to bring beer as not everyone likes sweet stuff. we need milk as well for the baileys.

@ferkel do you have your baby bottle prepared?

I'm in for Saturday (can't make it today, I'll be working late *sob*) I can bring some beer and/or liquor and/or mixers.

OK, now my anonymity is blown!

another reason to have a party on saturday and possible quiz question on tues. Its Australia Day tomorrow! shame the Ozzies have gone home for four weeks.

Ah that's what I will be doing before I go to viernheim!

How are we all feeling on this wonderful sunday morning?

Did any vodka survive? or was the decor of Andres flat fully discussed? After all pink is a wonderful colour.

did people go into mannheim after?

Sorry couldnt make it. But was totally dead and buried after my first ever day of skiing.

Anyways, are we meeting this tuesday ? And wats the special round?

No vodka left... and today... ew... you don't even want to know... i am so barely human.

specialist round is Instruments this week.

I should be there around 7.30 ish

we'll be there this week! we'll try to be there around 7:30.

Count me in as well! I may be a little late since my flight doesn't get in until approx 6:30p, but I plan to drive straight to the Pub.

Wow, that's dedication!

I actually can't make it this week.

I agree with Ferkel, you must really love the quiz

Last week I got stuck at work, but I hope to be there tonight. Who should I be looking for?

I am planning to come around 7:30 but can only stay til 9:15 ish - i have a puffy green coat but it would help if i am looking for someone specific.

Just look around for a crippled JodieJo

So who all are coming ? I am most probably turning up with Deepak and Sarmishtha.

Sorry guys can't make it this week. But I know that means you will most probably win without me as usual. Good luck!

I'm a "maybe" for today - At the moment, it looks like I won't be able to make it, but hopefully that'll change by 4pm this evening - I too can't stay long tonight and will probably leave by 21:30 or so.

Hey,

the best person to look for is me, look for a girl with crutches or ask for Jodie at the bar as i used to work there and they speak english.

I'll be there from about 7.30
