Cardinal Richelieu Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 4 out of 10. Leprechauns, shamrock, Guinness, horses running through council estates, toothless simpletons, people with eyebrows on their cheeks, badly tarmacced drives – in this country, men in platform shoes being arrested for bombings, lots of rocks, and Beamish. Who'd have thought there was more to Ireland dan dis? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie S Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Frankie and Whiterosekillie are quizzers who take this shit seriously and memorise stuff. I didn't believe them either till WRK explained it. Yeah, I do take quizzing quite seriously I admit. Probably do 1 or 2 pub quizzes a week. Booker Prize winners come up all the time, so Iris Murdoch and John Banville from the other day were questions I'd seen before. My team has won the last two Marie Curie Glasgow Brain Games at Kelvingrove Art Gallery (great night btw), Scottish Team Championship twice, Real Radio national team quiz, Edinburgh Champions Quiz twice and a bunch of other stuff. 2 halves of our team have won on Eggheads etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie S Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 8/10 on Ireland. Got colour associated with St. Patrick and most visited tourist attraction wrong. Guessed astronomer and Stripe question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 All very good, but have you got a periodic table shower curtain m8? I've also got a huge map of the world on my wall to bone up on all the capital cities. Now I'm just waiting for someone to commit commercial suicide create toilet paper with all the Oscar winners from the last 80 odd years 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 7/10 and knew 5 on the Ireland one. Tripped up by the jockey, the astronomer and the online payments company. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessed astronomer and Stripe question. There's a football angle to one of the ones you got wrong. In the early days of the Home Internationals, the IFA's Ireland team used St Patrick's colour. Only reason I knew it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, I don't have that, though it would come in very handy considering how often questions about the periodic table come up in quizzes. Lost a quiz last week from a winning position because we could only name 9 elements with a Y in their name, our rivals got all 12. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 Good one. Without resorting to going to the bathroom (doesn't seem as much like cheating as looking it up online - not sure why) Yttrium and Ytterbium are the two starting with Y (7 different elements can be traced back to a single quarry in Ytterby in Sweden). Antimony Mercury Hydrogen Oxygen Neodynium Dysprosium Krypton No idea about the other 3. Can't help but think I've missed an obvious one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
