Monday night pub quiz at The Arc

True considering the picture round last night! The other rounds were quite standardish, weren't they?

Well @ least got the beers...

Pictures of famous people when they were kids. Had to identify who they were.

the piccie round was "when they were young" - you had to identify celebs based on piccies of them as kids
dead hard, it was

really...
i hope you had fun.

Taking in mind I can't stand most of these tossers being grown-ups... not really... But still somehow fun though!

Visual was indeed rough. And the literature. I hate literature rounds.

No so keen on literature myself. I just sat back and let the others answer on that round.

so... what made that different from the other rounds, then?

Same strategie with me there...

@Topsy, I usually sit forward and let the others answer the questions.

I knew you would come up with that even before I posted...

shit
didn't realise I was so predictable

Daisy, we didn't do so bad in the literature round after all.

So, anyone go last night? Who won?

Who cares who won, I want to know who placed sixth?

At first we were first. But due to a rare miscounting by Dr. Matt, we actually tied for 2nd. We won 2nd, after a fast and fierce battle for that.

If it wasn't for the miscalculation - you would have been 2nd since you were tied with us and had more players. Tell greg I am working on my throwing technique for next week. I plan to throw that little piece of paper at 97 miles per hour to get that tiebreaker win!

Who won last night then?

O2 plus the irish ringer?

I would say Greg isn't a thrower but more of a tosser.

Wee Mun, the Irish ringer and pick-up team.

Brokenm, as he said, he still can get the stumps.

Thanks showem, they probably won because the drag factor (moi) was not there last night

I have no facts and figures to back this up, but I am a semi alcoholic, so I should know

I liked your description of yourself on another thread even if it was only half right!

We did well on the picture round which featured album covers.

I saw you on Saturday mate... Pot and Kettle!!

So, who is heading to the quiz tonight?

I'll be there, pretending to answer questions and harking back to the "Grandmaster Flash" incident !

GDSM should be at full strength

I´m going - I had to miss last week, and I´m already having withdrawal symptoms!

OOOF
Despite this, there may be space available on this team. Should you like watching two people bickering, this would be the team to be in. Your results may vary.

Grandmaster flash incident? Do tell...

Someday it will be told but for now the pain is too fresh.

Lemme guess. Man knew the answer but woman told him not to be stupid, that he was just being stupid and she knew infinitely more. Woman's answer given in, Man's answer was correct. woman moaned that he should have been more "decisive" if he was so sure and not just "gone along with the flow"...

Master, how should such a situation be dealt with in the future, edged weapons or fire and starvation ?

Definitely edged weapons. A quick throat stab should suffice (make sure you do it towards the end as I believe you are not allowed to draft in new players once the team has been announced)

Well I don't know what you are talking about Crawlie. We still got points for the answer so I dunno what his problem is. Oh but I do know what his problem is, he is Irish and therefore loves misery. Preferably served with potatoes.
Maybe Hazza can add that to the Arc's menu? Misery and potatoes.

Thank you, Hazza might also object to the fire and starvation thing.

We got half the points, half the points, half the points I tell ya and I am in no way harping on about this.

Half the points !

Aha! Still got points for the answer means "Could have gotten more points as it was that funny 3, 2, 1 question thingie"... So if you went with his suggestion in the first place then you would have gotten more points I presume...

I dunno. The edged weapon thing is looking very attractive rigth now

I'm going to get you a t-shirt made with "She lost us half a point you know". Half. A. Point. Only then a full point as we'd played the joker.
See? Come to the Arc quiz and watch live bickering. Maybe Sky will want to show it as a new sports package?

Background: "White Lines" - Grandmaster Flash & Furious 5 is correct answer, *we* (as there were 3 others on the team apart from me) put Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel.

It was just half a point but if we had got that one and 33 others then we were in with a chance at 4 slices of raw turnip or something.

Captain Pedanto sez "Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five" is the corect answer !

Keep the turnips out of this.
Bloody hell, you're going to be donated to Topsy's/showem's team for the seriously competitive at this rate, Captain Pedanto.

Ach, at least that happened fairly recently. I still haven't heard the end of the Jim Morrison picture quiz mistake...

surely you lost 2 points?
i seem to remember dr matt gave you two marks for that question (although it was the 4 point question on the 1-2-4 round, and strictly speaking you got it wrong, but it was very close).

Of course, modesty prevents me from naming the person who got the question 100% right
Although according to Muzza it was dead easy and everybody knows that it was GMF & the furious 5 (obv )

"hushed silence"

I have heard of this, a time of weeping and gnashing of teeth, the ancients tell of darkness and suffering.

It wasn't part of the 1-2-4 thingy, it was part the music round.

indeed... and believe me, you never will

Can we use this as a team name tonight please?

Welcome to your new team member - shall I just drop him off? Call him Captain Pedanto, Pedo to his pals.
Just feed occasional potato products. No need to water. The smell doesn't wear off, I'm afraid.

Sleeplesss, shall we just stay at the bar having beers instead? It would be less stress in the long run.

don't you go trying to trade in your Irish bloke for a newer model - SiM is in our team, he's been concientiously swotting up on current affairs, and we need him for the movies rounds (and for questions such as what kind of beasties feast on cobras and such)

so you can't have him (well, not for the quiz, anyroad)

Rent an Irishman!!!...think it could catch on?

No.

Why can't teams be like sticker albums? I'll swap you this Irishman (moany old unshaven crustie, several previous owners, two offspring) for the other one (less moany but very similar model). Nah, I can't see it working either.

SiM is crustier than Yeti, I reckon
They don't come much crustier than young SiM, bless him

Could have a crust-off I suppose? Hmmm
