Ross. Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Piss poor 4/10 for Thursday. Was feeling quite confident towards the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 (edited) Well we did get pumped to an extent, but I said before the event if we didn't come last that would count as a victory. And thus: To describe this quiz does solid things a dis-service. Twas hard but fair, and the four of us had a good mix of knowledge (although The Captain got a bit too exuberant singing along to a Donovan song at one point for my liking). Despite the fact we only got slightly more than half the points of the winning team, we were getting into our stride by the final round. It was also very fast-paced, and some of the questions were quite long- hence our quiz sheets ended up looking like this: But thanks to @Frankie S for hosting a well-run and enjoyable night. One thing I would say - my league tables look much snazzier than yours If anyone fancies doing a pub quiz in Glasgow any time soon, let me know. My mate runs one most evenings in various pubs and they're probably a wee bit more our level ... in fact, he's on holiday in May so I'll be hosting some of them in his absence.

Thanks for coming guys. It’s probably as tough a quiz as you’ll find anywhere, and the standard of the top teams is ridiculous, but you were closing in on the team just above you towards the end, and finished well clear of bottom spot. It’s not called the Champions Quiz for nothing - teams qualify for this by winning (usually multiple) other pub quizzes around town. I normally play for the team who finished in third place last night. We win most normal pub quizzes, but we’ve only won the Champions Quiz about 6 or 7 times in over 4 years of trying (although we did win the last couple before last night). Even the mid table teams are exceptional, but I reckon once you got to up to speed with the format and pace of the quiz, which you clearly were adjusting to as you went along, you’d soon find yourselves working your way up the table. You’d certainly be welcome back any time. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 4/10 for Thursday. Should have stopped after question 4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie is going to get the questions to me over the next couple of days and I think someone might be rattling together a cup with some of the questions we got asked. That will truly sort the men out from the boys! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hip Priest Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I never really pay any attention to this this thread so when the teams were announced I was wondering if the Pie & Bovril Reserves team was anything to do with this fine website. Decent effort for a first shot - it's a really tough quiz. I've been doing it for years and have never come anywhere near winning (or even answering any questions, it sometimes feels like...) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate. You should have come and said hello! Which team were you in ? Anyway, if I'm going to boast about my snazzy league tables, I guess I should actually fire up Thursday's.

Bully Wee Villa Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I got five for Thursday which the Cardinal couldn't be arsed to put in the table. I could excuse him if he had missed it as he was too busy revising for the evening quiz. Obviously not, though, judging by their score. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 3 for Friday.. Pish set of questions. Pishier set of answers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 And a dismal four to finish the week. Suppose that's what I get for bullying the Cardinal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
