Hmm I wonder what all the team names will be about tonight?

In fairness, aren't we the only ones who takes a topical name? But no, I won't be there tonight - work and illness have intervened to keep me home

(And wowzers, that's big news)

What time do people usually meet up there at?

silvervixen84

I'm usually there a bit early but the rest tend to arrive at about 8

Fysh

i'm knackered after a busy weekend so i'm going to reluctantly bail, i'm afraid

Looks like I'm a one woman quiz-machine again this week...

Joint third out of 5 teams with 56 points, my fellow 3rd place team had five members. The team that won had 8 members so G docked them 5 points which meant that our old (old) rivals won . Quite pleased with myself :-)

Ah damnit, the return of G means that the jokey nickname I coined last week would have been a goer - what name did you end up using?

My team were devastated over the Pope's resignation so are in mourning. I'm not that bothered.

Won best team name ;-)

So was there a crowd back?

silvervixen84

There were 5 teams including the giant one so the room was pretty full, which was a good sign.

Bajingo

A little off topic, but back home I was mad for watching the chase on UTV, went on to their site and they're accepting applications, I sent one off, could be a laugh!

I'd be interested in going to one of these quizes
Are ye still looking for more team members?

silvervixen84

Yes of course. Silvervixen84 will be along tonight so drop her a PM but basically we meet upstairs in the North London Tavern at 8pm.

Sorry I'm not going to make it tonight. Just realised i'm woefully underprepared for the Lake District in February so need to go buy too much adventure-style gear.

Sounds good, I won't be able to make it tonight either but I should be able to make it next Monday!

Won best team name (again):

I feel like Maurice Gibb at a Bee Gees reunion

Also, came 2nd, boo-ya! Guess who beat me again...

Yeah, why not. It wasn't GK this week, or even Dan. It was mini Kenneth Brannagh.

I realised when I got home after that I put the wrong Gibb brother in the team name - it should have been Barry. Oh well, no-one noticed last night!

Scarinae

Sorry I wasn't there, I was in Poland!

Is this still the plan?

silvervixen84

Will anyone come to the Monday night one this week though if ye go to the Sunday night one?

Jack B. Badd

I think I'd do the Sunday or Monday night one but not both. Tbh this week Monday night would be easier for myself & Fysh. How about we hit the Sunday night quiz next weekend?

silvervixen84

Great, suits me better this week to do Mon than Sun too :-)

Reekwind

So we're all going tonight? Good, it's settled. I'm going to make a real push to get to this one...

(... even if I'll inevitably fail)

Fysh

Myself and Jack B. Badd will be there.

exiledelbows

Sorry guys. Have to sort out some stuff tonight so can't make it. Should make the beers Saturday though.

exiledelbows

How'd it go?
