Quiz Team

silvervixen84 · 01-08-2011 8:01pm #1

I just moved to Kilburn and noticed that The North London Tavern on Kilburn High Road has a pub quiz every Monday night, and I'd love start going regularly - but I don't have a team!

It wouldn't be taken too serious, just a fun way to make sure your brain doesn't turn to mush.

Anyone interested?

Hmmm, I might have a rubber arm that could be bent towards this

If you're after pub quizzes, the Westbury Bar also do one on Wednesday nights. No idea if it's any good though, I heard about it from seeing flyers.

silvervixen84 · 01-08-2011 10:19pm

Great, we'll discuss it at the beers on Saturday!

Sinall · 02-08-2011 1:36pm

Sounds great! And very handy for me location-wise

silvervixen84 · 02-08-2011 2:30pm

Cool, another recruit!

Also, if it would suit ye better to go to the Wednesday ones in the Westbury rather than Mondays at the North London Tavern I'm fine with that. Sometimes people don't like to go out on Monday nights.

Stargal · 10-08-2011 2:30am

Slightly late to the party, but I'd totally be on for that some time if you ever need someone to make up a team.

silvervixen84 · 10-08-2011 2:36pm

Cool, sounds like we should have enough for a team! The one at the Westbury that Fysh suggested sounds like good craic.

Shall we give it a go next Wednesday - 17 August?

Sinall · 10-08-2011 2:47pm

Im away in Sicily next week, but definitely count me in for future quizzes!

Stargal · 10-08-2011 3:06pm

JEALOUS!

Next Wednesday suits me fine. I'm sure we can rope someone else in between now and then...

Fysh · 10-08-2011 3:54pm

Wednesday next week sounds good, count myself and Jack B Badd in so

silvervixen84 · 16-08-2011 8:45pm

Right everyone, are you still up for The Westbury tomorrow night? Registration is at 7.45 so I'll be there for 7.30.

Jack B. Badd · 16-08-2011 9:15pm

Sounds like a plan to me

Stargal · 17-08-2011 9:24am

See yis there! *puts on game face*

LadyMayBelle · 17-08-2011 6:20pm

Good luck!

Jack B. Badd · 17-08-2011 11:08pm

Third place, go us!

Shall actually have to prep for next week's quiz...

silvervixen84 · 17-08-2011 11:21pm

Good night and good result. Go team!

Stargal · 17-08-2011 11:52pm

That was really enjoyable. A medal position finish, good craic, nice questions, plus a bonus round where Fysh's awesome drawing skillz won us a round of shots plus a bag of penis straws. SUCCESS!

I can't make next week cos I'll be working late, but anyone reading this who's interested in going along, leave a comment and say so (even if you've never met anyone else on the forum before. Actually *especially* if you haven't). The winning team had about a gazillion (well, six) members so if we add a couple of people we could totally improve on tonight's performance. *puts on competitive face*

I'll be there the week after next though. Looking forward to it.

LadyMayBelle · 18-08-2011 8:15am

Good on ye!! shots AND penis straws!

silvervixen84 · 24-08-2011 10:11am

Quiz tonight!

Fysh · 24-08-2011 10:43am

Don't think we'll make it tonight, I'm afraid - trying to shake off a stupid cold

I'm game for next week though, and a friend living nearby will probably join us as well.

silvervixen84 · 24-08-2011 1:28pm

That's fine, we can leave it til next week. I was going to say I might be a late for it anyway as I've been at work late for the last few days and it's looking like more of the same for this evening.

Get yourself better and we'll be all set to go again next week!

silvervixen84 · 30-08-2011 8:42pm

Crikey the weeks are flying by, are we all ready for tomorrow night again?

Jack B. Badd · 30-08-2011 8:47pm

We're game

Might bring a few friends along as well to bump up the numbers and see if we can't go for gold (or silver)!

Scarinae · 30-08-2011 9:30pm

I can't do it this week, as I'm going to the Science Museum Lates with a friend (it's on the last Wednesday of every month, worth checking out if you're a dork like me especially as it's free). I love quizzes though so I'd definitely be up for it in future!

Dr.Giggles · 30-08-2011 10:14pm

ooooh! where is this quiz on? could I pop along perhaps?

The Westbury in Kilburn - I'm sure we'll find more room at the table if you want to make the journey involving (what was it the last time?) several camels and a 6 hour train ride

Mc Kenzie · 30-08-2011 11:02pm

awww id go only im in watford for therest of this week.

ill be back next week, so if theres room then.

goodluck !:)

Stargal · 31-08-2011 10:54am

I'm on for it again - my competitive streak hasn't gotten over our near-win last time. What time does it start at again? Have to get the camels prepped and ready to go, etc (seriously, how does it take so long to get from Highbury to Kilburn? They're close on the map...).

Registration is at 7:45 for an 8 o'clock start. If you're coming from Highbury you're probably best off getting the Overground from Highbury & Islington towards Richmond and getting off at Brondesbury - that'll have you a 10 minute walk from the Westbury according to Google Maps.

Stargal · 31-08-2011 3:57pm

Quiz homies: I don't think I'm going to make the quiz tonight. Bleurgh. I'm not feeling great right now - leaving work soon so going to neck some Neurofen and see if that helps. Hoping that my competitive streak will overcome this headache, basically.

So the tl:dr version: If I'm there: awesome, see you in a few hours. If not, which seems more likely right now, it's because I'm in a darkened room somewhere, racked with pain. Fun times ahead to see which happens.
Show 'em who's boss tonight. BON CHANCE.

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?!

Fysh · 01-09-2011 9:23am

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

silvervixen84 · 01-09-2011 2:00pm

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

silvervixen84 · 07-09-2011 10:18am

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

Stargal · 07-09-2011 3:29pm

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

silvervixen84 · 20-09-2011 5:55pm

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

Fysh · 21-09-2011 6:58am

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?

Stargal · 21-09-2011 2:10pm

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?

silvervixen84 · 23-09-2011 10:15am

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:

Jack B. Badd · 26-09-2011 7:46am

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.

exiledelbows · 26-09-2011 9:38am

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

silvervixen84 · 26-09-2011 10:24am

Count me in too

Scarinae · 26-09-2011 11:32am

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!

silvervixen84 · 26-09-2011 2:26pm

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

Stargal · 26-09-2011 2:42pm

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

Scarinae · 26-09-2011 3:58pm

If this turns out to be a sports quiz…
