suggestion for quiz name for tonight (ripped from another thread and will need to be edited down)

I have to admit, the London Olympics has completely changed my perception of Britain.

Prior to the Olympics, I thought they were crap at sport but good at music.

How about 'I don't care about the price tag of my Rolls-Royce either' ?

I have a viewing at 7pm but I'll be down at the NLT after that. I've another viewing at 8.30 so I'll pop out for that, and then I'll be back again for the rest of the quiz

I love your optimism that it'll actually start before 9

Okay, I've confirmed our attendance at the Camden quiz on the 14th. Going through the posts above I think this is our team:

1. serrity
2. silvervixen84
3. reekwind
4. choccielover
5. exiledelbows
6. Mrs exiledelbows said she'd be interested, too

So is everyone still in? And does anyone want to start a subs bench/second team?

Really sorry but can't make it tonight, after all. Hope ye can draft someone in from the subs bench!

Well I should still be there tonight

Cool - venue is London Irish Centre 50-52 Camden Square, London, NW1 9XB. They say it's 6:30pm for a 7pm start, so I'm aiming to be there sometime between the two!

Nearest Tube is Camden Town, or get the Overground to Camden Road.

How did ye get on last week?

Also, who's in this for tonight? Myself and Jack B. Badd will be along

Er... we lost by half a point after another team were awarded half marks for identifying a picture of Katie Taylor as 'Mary Taylor'. :mad: Suffice to say we won't be going back there again. My theory is the quizmaster had no backup plan for a tie-breaker and panicked.

I'm in tonight anyway!

silvervixen84 · 20-08-2012 4:58pm

I'll be there (in between viewings) again this evening

In fairness, he did accept our claim that 'fat-tubi' is a type of pasta...

And was planning to be there tonight but work intervened :mad:

Looking ahead to next week (Bank Holiday Monday), does anyone want to meet for an early evening meal/general lazing around/other assorted mischief before heading to the NLT quiz at the usual time?

Reekwind · 26-08-2012 4:38pm

I'd be up for that if anyone else is. I'll be around the city anyway tomorrow so a meal sounds good

Fysh · 27-08-2012 5:45pm

I dont think Jack B Badd or myself will make it tonight, i'm afraid

silvervixen84 · 27-08-2012 6:49pm

I'm hoping to go, anyone else in?

83ste · 27-08-2012 7:03pm

I was thinking of it but it's sooo far...

silvervixen84 · 27-08-2012 7:12pm

It looks like numbers are down so if you like we can leave it for this week? Beers are sat night anyway

Reekwind · 27-08-2012 9:59pm

I did stick my head in the NLT tonight, what with being out of internet range for most of today. I think everyone else, including Gareth, took the night off as well, there was a poor showing

Oh yeah, and I officially hate you all

There's this amazing new technology for hand-held communication devices called SMS. You should try it sometime, it's even better than jetpacks*!

*Obviously I'm lying here, jetpacks would be seriously cool. But, you know, jetpacks = Teh Fuchar and whatnot.

Reekwind · 27-08-2012 11:14pm

Jetpacks are not all they're cracked up to be...

Happened to me a few months back but I stayed for the quiz anyway!

Reekwind · 28-08-2012 2:42pm

I probably would have done that but they all looked very intimate - two teams clustered tightly down one of the room. That and the sudden crushing disappointment in you guys was overwhelming

83ste · 03-09-2012 11:58am

Who's in tonight?

Fysh · 03-09-2012 12:48pm

Jack B Badd and I are in, and I'm bringing mystery prizes home-made cookies along with me. Whether these count as an incentive or a deterrent is left for the reader to decide...

silvervixen84 · 03-09-2012 12:52pm

I'll be there after my viewing

Scarinae · 03-09-2012 1:43pm

Count me in! It feels like months since I was last there!

Reekwind · 03-09-2012 4:16pm

I'm going to aim to be there but that will depend on when I get away from work

83ste · 10-09-2012 11:45am

So who's gettin' quizzical tonight?

exiledelbows · 10-09-2012 11:47am

Yes!

Scarinae · 10-09-2012 12:16pm

I’m not going to make it this week I’m afraid!

silvervixen84 · 10-09-2012 5:25pm

Yes, and I'll be there for the whole quiz this week, yay!
