Monday night pub quiz at The Arc

I plan to quiz tonight - my last Arc Pub Quiz (but hopefully not foreverrrrrr). Will need to jump on a team. So hopefully someone has a spare spot for me.

one could also bring up the Great Snowflake Scandal of 05.

Don't even start, generations unborn will still by paying the price for that one long after the GGFATFF fracas has died down !

Despite the rest of this thread, Team Bicker won. Amazingly.
Thanks to Exile and Daisy for being referees in the team.

Just don't mention Indonesia, okay.

Creative tension works. Great team effort and I won't even mention those tiny islands...doh!.

Creative tension doesn't always work...at least not on our team where we lost 2 points because our "leader" wouldn't accept that I knew a tuba in the visual round...

Well done btw.

yes, SiM did know one out of 12 in the visual round...
silly me for not listening to him

Creative tension my foot, you only won because you're a bunch of Eurotragic Rubbernecking Abba fans. Oh, that and the lovely ruled paper. Congratulations on mastering the art of keeping the lettters within the boxes.

Jealousy will bring you nothing but my scorn.
First album I ever bought was ABBA "Arrival", well my mum gave me the money and I handed it over in Woolworths to the till lady.

We had such a lovely tasteful name as well. To ensure success at the quiz you need a good name, it's worth at least a gazillion extra points.

Hooray for Barrel of Nipples! Thanks for making my last quiz a good one team.
(we really should have won that jackpot question)

Now... on to that poll...

edited to remove all evidence of slowness of mind

But I can still read all your other posts? *cleans glasses*

Is that what you do at the PA, clean all the dirty glasses?

Well, it isn't like I actually do any work now is it?

@Katrina, I think Topsy may be willing to trade now seeing as I didn't help that much where as Yeti is winner.

I see a transfer market developing.

Aye, Topsy is a bit like her hero Alex Ferguson and cuts you loose if you question her judgement I'll be on a free transfer next week
She was was fit to kill me when she thought we had already played the joker, but instead we saved for a round where we knew nothing...

yeah, we should have played the joker on sports or joggers, really
that was our downfall
that and the visual round

fourth place, though
our worst ever result
will we ever live it down?

Don't worry Tops, we'll be back to redeem the team soon enough.

Your problem, Topsy, is that you don't take the quiz serious enough.

it's the only highlight in my otherwise miserable existence, yeti

I thought you were only doing it to keep young SiM off the streets ?

Yep, I'm back on the streets now after the poor result last night, until somebody else takes pity on me and accepts me on their team...

i might just give you one last chance, SiM
i'm more forgiving and tolerant of other people's failings than some people who shall remain nameless

Chin up SiM, i think an Oirish Huuligans Support Group is being set up for next week.

I cannot think of 6 questions one could have on Jogging

Yeah, pity on all of ya! We ruled yesterday! Became 5th, won nothing, no beer or shots round... wait a minute... OK, no we didn't rule, but was only two of us anyway! If it wouldn't have been for that stupid "Wissenecke" crap...

It was fun watching the quiz yesterday (and playing darts). I hope I will be able to join a team next time. I might be good at answering the German questions...

Did you notice the way darts aren't allowed while the quiz is on ? Apparently there have been a number of inter-team "incidents". Which is why a full complement of 4 members is important, you need at least one person left over who can write.

Anybody going to the quiz tonight?

yeah, i am

yeah, but you have your nice non-serious team already

I´m planning to go.

I quite fancy taking part. Can I join somebody's team?

@SIM

Are you going tonight ? Or are the "we're just in it for a laugh really" team keeping you in the lineup ?

I'm going tonight and I have been dumped by the fun loving crowd because I was too serious last week

you've only been dumped temporarily, SiM
I reserve the right to reclaim my rightful place as pen-hogger on your team in the not too distant future

You gotta loosen up man, get a answer wrong every now and then.

Anyway if you're free toinight we could get a team together "The hairy and the scary" or something along those lines.

Are you on your own? There are currently 3 of us.
But otherwise we could do next week?

3 of you ? I knew that the beard had some darker function.

Currently yes I'm on my own looking for a team, don't want to join your crowd. Apparently ye take it way too serious, like.

Ah come on Yeti, We can be the all-Irish crew.

EDIT: Except that I don't know who the fourth is

The 4th would be an Aussie...

Stabber.

Was he any good last week?

Sorry Tara, I think I have been nabbed by an international crew.

However I remember the last time we had an all-Irish gang, it was way too serious. Worth repeating though, it will have to be next week.

Mr Yeti is excellent on a quiz team. "Creative tension" is also key. I doubt fate will smile so kindly as last week (an entire ABBA round was a fine and noble thing).

Okay, you can have him for tonight...but we will get him some time.

@SiM

Are you gimping me out for a pittance or less ?
