Monday night pub quiz at The Arc

finishing at 10.30pm is better.

I guess we can see how things are going time wise on the night and then I can add in the extra rounds if need be.

just see how things go SiM (as katrina already suggested).
in order to play the joker at the right round, it is necessary to know beforehand how many joker rounds there are...

How about keeping it simple: Dean D.?

I like the dinosaur round

Ach, who knows it might crop up again some night

Just a quick reminder to everyone before they head off for a long weekend, the quiz will be going ahead on Monday so please try to make it if possible.

Yes, then come home and post the answers

will there be special prizes?

Just the usual prizes I guess, unless Katrina wants to let the Barrys Teabags go as a spot prize

Like fuck I do. Gerroffit.

ah Katrina, exhibiting the charming eloquence she is famous for

good luck with the quiz SiM i still think your stage name should be "Clueless in Munich"

i was also thinking along the lines of clueless...

I hope everyone has been studying dinosaurs and listening to Pearl Jam...
Hope to see loads of you there tonight.

I'll be dropping in for a pint and to catch a glimpse of the Wizard sacrificing live goats while wearing a cloak and incanting Pearl Jam lyrics backwards.

Won't be taking part in the quiz though, you can burn in hell slowly for that kind of deviant behaviour.

I'm still looking for teammates, anyone need someone? I need to win as revenge on the person whose team I WAS going to be on tonight until I got the SMS... grrrrrrrr.

Just turn up, there is always teams that are looking for people or enough singles to make a new team.

Yes I know but I like my Planungssicherheit.

You've been here too long, Gen, you're going native.

You'll be arranging spontaneous meetings three weeks in advance soon.

Flippin eck, is the tram actually running up Barer Str this week?

Gen just wear your dirndl, I'm sure you'll find lots of new friends that way.

And if you don't wear it you might find even more new "friends".

Ha! I've just organized a meetup in Frankfurt and I'm not even there!

Dirndl's on hold til tomorrow night, still airing on the balcony, so I won't be wearing it. Hello boys!

How will anybody be able to concentrate on the questions ?

Questions?

It's called planning ahead, SiM. You've obviously not been here long enough.

well maybe I'll finally win first place then. 'Bout time, I've already played twice.

well, last night was a fab quiz (apart from the meanness on the geogers round and the occasional over-generosity with clues ) so well done SiM

Entertaining quiz, that seemed to drag on and on for a very long time. How long do poeple need to sit on answers for? Too many small breaks, with not much going on at all. Have had better quiz nights (sorry SiM)

For those who don't speak Topsish, "geogers" is geography. Took even me a second to figure out what she meant.
Pootle, there were a couple of draggy bits, but it was actually pretty snappy I'd say last night. In fact, I'd say the question-asking part started off really fast, but SiM slowed down on the later rounds, which was better.

I suspect that SiM is still getting used to the adding-up-the-points-between-rounds stuff. I didn't feel that the evening dragged at all, but then I always like a few chances to pop to a smaller place without missing out on anything
Besides, I don't think I've ever been on a team that got all the art and literature answers right before. I mean, we're talking art and literature FFS.
Keep up the good work SiM.

great quiz and good questions!
however, have to agree also with pootle, we were given a long time to hand in the answers and surely a quiz is also about time.

Hmm...I remember trying to hurry people up and then I was told to give people a chance to answer. Its hard to judge sometimes how long I should give everyone to answer.
But I hope you liked the questions.

A reminder that the quiz is still going ahead as usual at the Arc tomorrow. I hope to see you there, newbies and regulars alike.

Mr pootle and I will be at the Divine Comedy gig so won't be there - have a good one regardless.

I'd be there again but the dreaded lurgy has got me early this year

I'll probably be there, apparently some proto-hippy has taken over from Dr. Matt and I want to check out this rumour.

Looking for two people for a team, previous experience and innoculations not required.

@Yeti - If you still need two I'm willing to be one...

@TCH

You know no fear, this is good. Set your affairs in order and I'll see you in the Arc. Should be there from 19:30 onwards.

See you there soon.

sadly can't make it tonight, but will be back to reclaim crown (hopefully) next week

Thanks to everyone that showed up tonight. I hope you enjoyed it. seems it was a bit easy for most of you. Next week will be harder.

Wasn't easy enough for some teams, we did crash and burn with style though.

looking forward to getting back to the quiz tonight - hopefully there'll be a good turnout
i know young SiM has been beavering away on the quiz for most of the weekend, so it should be a good one

After having my trivia playing ass handed to me on a platter by showem over the weekend, I think I'll come embarrass myself at quiz tonight.

Mr pootle & I will be watching Snow Patrol instead, no quiz for us.

In the name of sleepless in munich (who is working on turning on his PC at his new job) - pub quiz is happening as planned. He's got some good questions as well.

I succesfully withstood his interrogation techniques last week, he got nothing useful out of me.

I may let slip one or two answers this time, just to lull him into a false sense of security.

I'll be there, but we're down two people, so if anyone's looking for a team, you know where to ask.

you didn't do to bad, okay, worse than me, but then again, we got all the hard questions!

Hey Hippo, wanted to come down for the quiz tonight but since I am not a regular I do not have a team... May I take you up on that offer and join yours? Cheers!
