    Hope to make it tonight folks. Its fairly handy from the overground for me.

    Whereabouts do you sit in the pub, how will i find you etc. Don't want to walk up to every table asking "are you from boards" :)

    We normally get there for about 7:45 - the 8 o'clock start tends to be a bit relaxed. The quiz itself is upstairs (the door to the stairs is towards the back of the pub, to the left of the toilets). I've PM'd you my number, give me a shout when you get there.

    Turns out Interpol moved their HQ from Paris to Lyon 20 years ago, bastards! :D Cost us the win.

    Good to meet you all last night and hope to be there next Monday. Might need to brush up on my films and tv.

    We normally do the quiz in the North London Tavern on Monday (8pm for half 8ish) if that suits you :)

    I won't be about this Monday - try to manage without me :D

    Welcome in advance, new people! I’ll be there later as well.
    2 teams tomorrow night surely?
    We have managed seven people on a team before, but if we have eight or more we’ll probably have to split into two groups. We’ll just have to see who turns up!

    If there are any very specific questions about cars, this will be my reaction:

    Can someone give me directions from kilburn high road overground station... I'm getting two different sets here. Is kilburn high road the closest station?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,294 ✭✭✭Jack B. Badd


    Our woman in the field reckons the quiz has been cancelled this week :( Think we'll pop in for a drink anyway if anyone's already on their way.

    The Westbury quiz on Wednesday should be on (and may be worth a bit of money if we can answer that killer question). Any takers?


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,746 ✭✭✭✭Misticles


    Aaww cancelled :(

    kilburn on the jubilee line and brondesbury on the overground are much nearer. If you come out of kilburn high road and turn right and just keep walking (about 10-15 minutes) you'll get there but id say kilburn is your best bet. Will pm you my number if you want directions from there

    Balls, they must be taking an extra week to find some anti-Irish questions to stump us

  • Registered Users Posts: 3,294 ✭✭✭Jack B. Badd


    The Westbury pub on Kilburn High Road. It's just up the road from the Kilburn High Road overground station & a few minutes from Kilburn Park tube station. Starts at 7.45 for 8.

    Well that was a disaster - we got seventh place and a willy warmer.

    Come back Shirley, all is forgiven!

    That sounds like a good basis for a team name, now I think of it...


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


    Ooh, who won the willy warmer?

    Take a guess...once again, my hastily-scribbled cartoon smut is recognized as being worthy of a prize! (And a round of shots!)

    Well done! What was the theme? Your artistic talent was finally rewarded :D

    It was something like "ferdinand probes John Terry over the racism brouhaha". Foolishly I didn't retrieve it for posterity but I might do a stickman reconstruction later (not drawing it at work, they already think I'm weird enough without adding my smutty cartoons into the mix!)

    Well if you ever apply for a new job in the near future, under "hobbies and interests" you can now put "sketching erotic cartoons" :D

    I'm not sure yet if I'll make the quiz tomorrow, I'm going to Poland on Wednesday so I need to finish my articles before I go (press day is Friday) I'll update with my progress tomorrow


  • Registered Users Posts: 657 ✭✭✭exiledelbows


    Any word on whether the quiz is back on tonight?

    I'm up for it anyway
