Pub quiz at Murphy's Law in Mannheim

For those who left early we are winners again!

Another Baileys!

Yes, we were on form... about 4 points clear of the pack! Must be having our mascot back!

Lord of the Rings will probably be the week after next as there will be a stand in quiz master next week.

We could use a LotR expert - I am definitely not a fan.

yee haw!

okay, so did the previous teams just suck or is the TT group a highly intelligent group of bad-as*es?

Last week I totally forgot about the quiz. Was at the gym and thought, now there was something. Last night I had to pack for vacation. Now I'm intimidated - y'all always win. I'm sure we won't if I come, although my LOTR knowledge is pretty good.

so Elfenstar is our expert for two weeks time then!

i got bored half way through the first film and fell asleep, so i'm gonna be no help! all i know is New Zealand and the Hobit.

Good time. I don't know what the typical roster is, but, excluding myself, we fielded a pretty strong team last night. We led wire to wire, and didn't even need me to call foul on our neighbors for using their cell phones to access the internet. I did anyway, though, because it's not about winning or losing, it's about how you are able to reprimand people for not playing the game the way in which you would like it to be played. Insert any additional sports cliches here:

Kind of a small bottle of baileys for such a long train ride home, though.

some baileys is better 'n no baileys

Completely agree... don't get why people do it. If it is for personal gain there are far more profitable ways to spend an evening. If it is for the Baileys, go out and buy some! If it is to feel good that you are first - how can you congratulate yourself when you were not good enough to win properly. Cheating just spoils it. Furthermore, cheating in a half-arsed obvious way is just stupid!

Zero tolerance - burn them!!!

(Bad day, me? nooooo! )

I'd say we "irish creamed" the opposition

Who's up for tomorrow night?

There's a 50% chance that I'll be there tomorrow... I'll have a better idea tomorrow morning

good chance for me as well

i should be there plus 1 as my boss might come along with me.

I'm probably out this week...

I'm 100% sure we don't know if we're coming yet. Maybe.

I'm also 100% sure the artist formally known as Snoop Doggy Dog is currently known as Snoop Dog.

Did we lose points on that last time? ... also you mean "formerly"...

yeah we put snoop doggy dog! bloody pop stars

I did mean formerly. And I did mean to write "formerly known as.. now formally known as.." And I do mean I need some more coffee.

so confused now i need coffee!!!

Unfair! she shouldn't have deducted a point even though we got the right answer. This is discrimination - she's targetting TT cos we're winning

At least she's not there tomorrow night! they might like us!

Well, I can't make it tomorrow ...have to work late. I'm also gone for the next two weeks, so see y'all in April. Have fun tomorrow and good luck on the LOTR special topic next week

so am i the only one for tonight?

Well I am tending more towards the idea of going now... not really sure.

well my persuading is that the evil quiz mistress is on holiday! it should be something different tonight.

I can't promise we of meager contribution will be there, but we'll try to rally. If not, godspeed and all that.

Baileys or Bust!

Bohemka, we need you guys for the music round!!

olives and i will be there tonight!

cool, so the list is:
Jodiejo
Ferkel
Sunstripped
Olives
Bohemka ?

*sigh*

poor tennisplyr! Are you about on sunday for Paddys day?

for those that are coming tonight i should be there about 7.45 ish

well, I'm bummed I can't make it tonight - i have to work - but I have to work because I'm on vacation from Sat. for two weeks so I won't be here for St. Paddy's day but hope you have fun!!

We can't make it tonight, gosh darn it. Sorry. But we're interested in the festivities this weekend.

I hope to be able to make it tonight. Not positive, but should be able too!

Hi there TT's
Missing Tuesday night pub quiz! Never knew a place could be as flat as Kansas. Local beer suck, but luckily lots of german and some czech imports. Will definitley be celebrating St Patrick this side of the big blue dam with a few (imported) cold ones. Keep on winning!

Hello there! Well yesterday we did not do so well, even got a "pity" point from the quizmaster! Glad you're finding nutrients there. Keep us updated!

No? Was it lord of the rings? Or do we have that to look forward to next week?

Well Hello there Bosveldboer!!

I'm glad to here things are going well on the otherside of the lake! You'd have been proud of us last night getting a Swarheli (Yes i know i spellt is wrong!) question right all by ourselves.

I believe we have the joys of Lord of the rings to look forward to next week.

Can i interest anyone in having a go at the Pub quiz at O'reillys in Mannheim on a monday evening?? As i think a few of us are getting a bit bored with the same place all the time.

Hey hey bosveldboer - glad to hear from you after that SMS a while back - this means you have your computer now? hope all is well!


... you don't say!

variety is good.

Does that mean you might be able to come along Elfenstar if we go for monday?

i'm up for trying a new place out.

@ Bos: I told you that Kansas is as flat as a pancake and 100% r-e-d-n-e-c-k! (I hope you can make the best of it, just put on a pair of cowboy boots and a ten gallon hat and do the two-step!)

What's going on Paddys Day??? I may make it to that!

Seems like your winning streak was quite short, better luck next time. I am proud of you guys for getting some Africa questions correct! Went to a rock concert here last week - George Thorogood (in Wichita you have to settle for the older bands). Had a hit way back when: B-B-B-Bad to the bone. Well they were quite good, but also lots of R-R-R-Rednecks (yes AshleyM, definitely redneck territory this).

Well if we want to do something actually on Paddys day, we could go to O'reillys and check out the pub quiz plus have a few guinesses.

If people aren't up for that we can arrange something else.

I set the ball rolling to any takers!!

Will an Irish pub still run a pub quiz on their holy day? I thought all mouths were strictly reserved for imbibing.

Ferkel said the one at the O'reillys in Heidelberg was still running but i can ring later and check if people want to go.

there is a pub quiz @ oreillys heidelberg on st patrick`s day!! cheers

@ swedson yeah there is but we are hoping to go to the one in Mannheim, but your more than welcome to join us!

Ok, I rang O'reillys in Mannheim. they say they are not running the quiz this week as they have live music for paddys day.

but the quiz starts normally at 8.30 you get given a sheet of 50 questions and you take your time to answer them - so no not being able to hear

Its as usual in both German and English. the guy i spoke to seamed very nice and he's looking forward to meeting more english speakers in Mannheim.

I think we should give it a go after easter.

If anyone is willing to do anything for Paddys day i might go along there and see what the pubs like on Monday! anyone wanna join me??
