Sorry guys, I can't make it today sad.gif have fun!
N-ski
Won't be there neither. Bit poorly. Have an ace night y'all x
Guzey
I'll show up... everyone knows i got all the anwsers... there usually wrong, but i know how to fill a empty spot smile.gif
Guzey
it appears Toytown had a group of cheaters at the quiz, i can't remember the teams name... though anyone remember ? smile.gif
JodieJo
anyone know what the topic for next week is? so i can change the title

or are we boycotting next weeks quiz?
ethanhunt123
lets hit another pub quiz next week
JodieJo
Does anyone know where another one definately is? what day and what time?
ferkel
So, what happened... were you cheating? did you win?
ethanhunt123
There were two groups. One group would have come third but the quizmaster said somebody saw them doing something on their handy so they were disqualified.

i don't think anyone remembers the name tongue.gif

as far as going next week, i think if another place has one on tuesday we should check it out. if not, i guess we'll have to go back to the evil quizmaster since tuesday seems to work for everyone.

oh and the specialist topic is "historically significant people"
ferkel
Well, I have been yearning to branch out for a while. The quiz is OK at Murphy's, but I really don't like the food.

- wednesday there is http://www.mclarens.de/entertainment_pubquiz.php
- mondays there is http://www.oreillys-mannheim.de/events1.html

There is also Stonehenge, which I really hope is not supposed to be Irish, but I could not see anything there.

I know that JJ is busy those evenings and I have (irregular) monday meetings and also really need to get myself to proper German lessons soon!

PS: She isn't evil, you people are just dishonest! I'm glad I wasn't there for your disgrace. (Ducks for cover for second time in two posts!)

PPS yes, I know you were only using it to add up, does no one believe in mental arithmetic these days?

PPPS I also know that there are sometimes groups that _really_ cheat there!

PPPPPPPPPPPS any correlation between the cheating conviction and the return of Sunstriped and IAdoreOlives?
sunstriped
i don't know if everyone can switch to mondays or wednesdays. that's the problem we had with finding a day for the regular meetups.

that's true. she's just mean. or almost always in a bad mood. i wonder she even does the quiz.

no correlation tongue.gif
ferkel
Come on now, she isnt that bad - I like her! Every quiz has wrong or badly phrased questions occasionally and smartarses (e.g., me) who like to prove themselves right by a technicality even when they are wrong!

Great to hear that you are back BTW smile.gif

Boy! I don´t show up for one evening and you guys get disqualified! tongue.gif Sounds like I missed quite a bit of drama. I can´t make the next two weeks, I won´t be in town.

Now although Murphy´s food isn´t all that great, and the quizmistress (*snicker*) seems to be in a somewhat foul mood more often than not, my vote is for Tuesdays @ Murphy´s... just the convenience factor more than anything else.
JodieJo
Hey, I know the McClarens quiz is more like a quiz league which is now coming to a end, so i doubt they'll let us join.

As its suppose to be the Mannheim drinks next week, we could just go somewhere else for dinner and drinks on the tues. to give the quiz a break for a week.

Next week i have no german so i can do any night apart from monday when they are sticking the big fat needle in my foot! smile.gif
ethanhunt123
No Monday for me also as i will lying drunk in some side alley in Koln biggrin.gif

Any other day of the week and place is fine.
JodieJo
if we want to eat somewhere, we need to organise it in advance and book a table
bosveldboer
I am basically out of here. Thanks again for making this place feel like home the past few months. I will check every now and then what you guys are up to. May even be back in May for a week or two (sounds like real possibility), although will be up in the Ruhr valley most of that time. But will make a plan to be here on some Tuesday night. Enjoy Germany!
JodieJo
bye bye Bosveldboer!

what are our plans for next week?

are we going to do the quiz or something else?
JodieJo
I just doing something on another day other than tuesday this week as its fasching, and places will be busy.
sunstriped
that's true. i guess we could still go to the quiz then and have the regular meetup another day.
JodieJo
sorry guys i can't do tomorrow night, we're going to a fasching techno party in the city. but if people are up for doing something on another night this week let me know.
ferkel
I don't know if anyone is planning anything, but I am busy today too.
JodieJo
Maybe we could do something together on Thursday or Friday night.

Check out the italien Elfenstar said about on the drinks thread.

Any takers? biggrin.gif
ethanhunt123
even i wont make it today ... too tired and boozed out after yesterday. Maybe on thurs/fri.
Guzey

Little Britain
bit of a random question - does Murphy's Law still do fantastic sunday roast dinners?? smile.gif
used to go there all the time when we were students in Frankfurt/Mannheim back in 2001... always a good craic in there
JodieJo
I've never been there or worked on a sunday, but the chefs are still the same.
JodieJo
hey guys!

I know i'm really early in asking, but is any one going tomorrow night to Murphys. I won't be online very much tomorrow due to hospital appointment again.

Jodiejo cool.gif
ferkel

ethanhunt123

FloridaBound
I do not have permission to edit the title, but the topic for this week's Pub Quiz is: Rambo.
ferkel
Done... "interesting" topic...

I hope I will make it this week!
FloridaBound
I'm pretty sure that I will be able to make it, so count me in!
Elfenstar
this weeks German Vanity Fair had a matrix comparing all Rambo films (i.e. how many people Rambo killed without his shirt on, with shirt on, how many seconds until first kill, etc.)
1tennisplyr
Hi all, after a 2 week hiatus, I think I can make it this Tuesday smile.gif but about Rambo i have "keine ahnung" tongue.gif
JodieJo

ethanhunt123

sunstriped

ferkel
