    Aw, sorry to hear you're ill missus, would be great to see you again this evening, but mind yourself, don't want it to turn into a migraine :(
    Thanks lady. Was slightly f*ucked by the time I got home; went to lie down for a few minutes and woke up a few hours later, still feeling zonked. Bleurgh. God bless that contraband packet of Neurofen Plus which basically acted as my personal saviour. Sorry I couldn't make it but don't think I'd have been all that much use in that state.

    BUT don't keep me in suspense - how did you all get on last night? FIRST PLACE, RIGHT? RIGHT?!

    Errr...not exactly...though there were a *lot* of teams with 5-7 members so we didn't do too badly. *cough* 7th out of 15. And my porny contributions let us down too, causing much laughter but failing to win us shots :(

    I'm convinced the judging of the porn pics was a fix, ours was far superior to the winner and the other one he showed everyone. A fix I tell ya!

    We were just a bit unlucky with a few other qns, nothing to worry about. If anyone wants to try the North London Tavern one next Monday (since I can't make the Wed one at the Westbury) let me know :)

    Alas, you will be without my memorable rendition of I'm A Little Teapot for tonight (and next week) but best of luck and let me know how you get on :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,626 ✭✭✭Stargal


    I'm on late shifts this week so can't go tonight - boo - BUT I can definitely make next week to continue our streak of mid-table awesomeness and pornographic drawings *cracks neck*

    I can't do this week either (I'm meeting up with *whisper* folks from another message board *whisper*) but I'm game for next week. I'll practice my caricatures as well for the mid-quiz pornfest :D

    Are we all good for tomorrow night? Feel free to bring people - the more the merrier :)

    Myself and Jack B. Badd are both a bit under the weather at the minute, so we're going to reluctantly give it a miss tonight :(

    We'll have to get fighting fit for next week. Are you going to the beers this weekend, silvervixen84?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,626 ✭✭✭Stargal


    Hope you both feel better soon. Be seeing you at the beers instead so.

    Sorry to hear you're not well :( Just get yourselves better. I'll be at the beers so if you're OK by then I'll see ye then!

    Are you still planning to go to the quiz Stargal?


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Regional Abroad Moderators Posts: 6,485 Mod ✭✭✭✭silvervixen84


    Went to the quiz on Wed night with a couple of friends of mine, we came a respectable 5th and got an honourable mention for our "doodle" ;)

    I was rushing to get the bus from the tube station to get to the Westbury in time and I tripped and fell - I've a lovely gash on my knee for my troubles!

    Then, at the quiz - during the round where a member of each team flies their aeroplane, a plane hit me so I have a gash on my eyebrow too.

    These quizzes will be the death of me! :pac:

    Are we still on for the quiz in the North London Tavern tonight? Starts at 8 so we'll probably get there for 7:45.


  • Registered Users Posts: 657 ✭✭✭exiledelbows


    Yeah I'm up for it tonight. Need to go round the houses to run some errands after work but should make it for 8


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Regional Abroad Moderators Posts: 6,485 Mod ✭✭✭✭silvervixen84


    Count me in too :)


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 11,362 ✭✭✭✭Scarinae


    Fantastic, I think I'll come along to this one! Any particular areas of knowledge I should brush up on?

    No idea :) I don't think anyone's been to this quiz. We'll be flying blind!


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Regional Abroad Moderators Posts: 6,485 Mod ✭✭✭✭silvervixen84


    I've been to this one once but it was a good while ago. Questions are a bit tougher than the Westbury one but we'll be OK I'm sure


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,626 ✭✭✭Stargal


    Good stuff, I should be there for about 7.45 too.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 11,362 ✭✭✭✭Scarinae


    If this turns out to be a sports quiz… :D

    Heh, if that happens then I'll spend the entire quiz time on smutty doodles as a protest :)


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Regional Abroad Moderators Posts: 11,009 Mod ✭✭✭✭Fysh


    Victory!

    We came, we saw, we conquered, and we left behind an inexplicable stain :D
