Monday night pub quiz at The Arc

Arrgghhh.. if they delay it, then maybe I will not be able to go, I have to jump on a flight early Tuesday morning, and well don't want a late night this evening.

so it's 2,5 hours?

We'll be starting the quiz at around 8pm...

I'm not sure how long it went for last week, because I was sick and couldn't go, but we told Dr Matt that it can't go too late - people have to work the next day. We never want it to go longer than 11pm...

I'll be there tonight - would like to play along, but I'm a bit wary of doing that. Might be accusations of cheating if my team does well - But I have no access to any of the questions beforehand...I'll watch in any case though

How long do you think it would go on for?

@Foxy How long would you be able to stay? It would be cool if you came along

Bubble Gum, last week it started around 8pm and was finished a bit after 10pm. As my main team-mate, Topsy is not participating this week, I don't know what will happen to our team. I will probably go to the quiz and skip the Tex-Mex this week (sob) as I overindulged on the weekend.

I'm not sure if I'm coming this week. We'll see how late I work today. If I do come, I def need a new team!! I know that Chewy, SteveNZ and BillyBob aren't coming.

I'll be at the texmex around 6ish or a bit later and head over to bondi's afterwards, i should be able to make it easily by 8.

@VDB Bondi ? Well we will be at the Arc.

too busy too busy, ofcourse im talking about the arc. see you there tonight

I'll be at the Arc tonight too

A friend and I will pop down too! -though we don't have a team either!

will more than likely be there.
Bubble Gum do you already have a team?

Last week I had a team, then found there was not enough people we we had to mix a couple of teams, don't worry you should have no problems finding a team.

How does a newcomer pick a team? How many teams are there?

Well last week it was more so that the tables had 4 sitting around them, so we split into 4 teams of 4, with a 5th team joining slightly later. Pick a team is easy, grab the intelligent people, how many depends on how many people turn up.

well, I might stop by. If any team has an opening I will sneak in. Otherwise, I might have to start my own team I guess.

@bubblylady
I'm still thinking about it. i might stop by but don't know yet.

Hi,

I should be able to make but I dont know that many people so I will turn up and hope to find a team.

Hi All,

Never been to the Arc. Where is it?

@raviski - here you go

The Arc

Will be at quiz night for the first time tonight, looking for a team of winners, will bring lots of american pop culture from the 70's 80's and 90's... you know you want me

@Mbangura

Between your Pop music and my profound knowledge about the mating habits of snails in the Umbaga region, I think we will make an unbeatable team. May be we should join forces

arrggh, can't make it tonight, but put my name down for next Monday in some team or other. Pleeeease say it't not ALL about who won the FA Cup in 450 B.C., sports questions are not my forte, I'm afraid.

@ Pepper Eh?! Do they have non-TT people in the Arc now, then?!

But seriously, as long as Hazza makes the quiz easier as the night goes on to allow for the fried brain cells, it should be fine...

Won't be able to make it this evening. Friends' birthday celebrations/extreme karaoke antics at GM's last night put paid to any ambitions I had of leaving the house this evening...

Bluuurrrgghh

SO - how was it? Who won?

Great idea this quiz night, good thing to do on Monday. And the quizmaster is doing a real good job. Keep up the good work!

I have never seen the Arc that silent with so many people in there...

Hey yall, it was fun last night and was a pleasure meeting all those I met. Look forward to the next one. Lets kick some ass next time pepper and oli.

I still like Tipper Gore over Elizabeth Dole...damn that question!!??

I got the Dole thing correct hehe but missed out on Jane Austin. That would have almost bumped us into winning position.

Maybe this is a stupid question but is the quiz in English?

Yes it is in English

Okay, Thanks

but what kind of english?

Kiwi English, but he does good translations for the rest of us.

anyone up for quiz night tonight??

Im in, come on guys and girls, it's not about winning or losing but the stupid answers you can come up with!

...yeah like Kazakstan!!

sounds good - we need to find some smart people - we can't let showem win every week!

was talking to the quiz master on friday and might pop along. anyone needing an extra team menber?

what time does it start?

Peter

@SteveNZ: I was only off by 100km on that question, beeeaaaatch!



I redeemed myself last Monday though...I did much better than the first day. That was a fluke...

alright, reaction!! that's what I like to see, buddy!

i'll be along after the book swap.

I'm there, as ever !

don't think I'll be making it, but to those that do - make sure you have an Aussie or a Kiwi on your team!

@bucket06 - starts 7.30pm or not long after. Teams normally get sorted on the spot... unless after 2 weeks there's some "regular" teams?

@stevenz

thanks

i may pop over to scream the wrong answers out but in the mean time...

watch lesson two.

It is lucky I have spent the weekend drinking and reducing my already limited brain cell count.

I have predicted some answers to questions tonight already:

A1: The smile of the happy horse
A2: By driving through it in a large hat
A3: An unusual colour, brought on by excessive chocolate snorting
A4: A Bangra Curry sauce used with Linda McCartney sausages
A5: An irritating rash that can be cured by rubbing in essential oils.
A6: The sparkly, shiny and beautiful things that visit us all in the twilight.

If you know the questions to these victory is guaranteed.
