Quiz Team

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!

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.

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
