I'm alright at quizzes. General knowledge, pop culture, weird things. Geography and sport are black holes of mystery though.

The anser to your question is yes.
Are we winning?

Love quizzes. I've an eidetic memory so i've a bit of an unfair advantage as i retain the most useless shíte in my head. I love reading trivia and useless fact books too so that helps. I'm hopeless when it comes to anything to do with music or most pop culture. General knowledge and films would be my strong points. Haven't took part in a quiz in a good while though.

If the quiz question is "Can you shart out a bit of English on a forum?" then you get top marks.

WHAT ARE THE 39 STEPS?

Yea I always remember useless crap for some reason. My mother used to say myself and my brother were fountains of useless knowledge.

westendgirlie

I watch a lot of tv which comes in handy for the soap/movie questions. So can I join your quiz team?

Dotrel

I'm alright. So far I've provided 100% correct answers when quizzed by the Gardai.

Lollers

Eggheads on BBC always needs a winning team to go up against.

If there is a quiz section on pointless 80s pop music trivia, I'm your man. To a frightening, near-olympic standard degree.

Anyway table quizes just arent fun anymore - The usual team consists of three idiots and an Iphone!

Dotrel

It's kinda funny how general knowledge (and learning in general) used to have a bit of value. But since the advent of mobile phone technology most people are happy to know nothing first hand and consult the net when they need an answer for something.

People used to run to the toilets and ring their mates with mobiles, too. I was in Macnhester adn they had a sign for a quiz thing that was app based. You turn up with your mobile, sign in, and the questions have to be picked from the multiple choice, as far as I could see. Seemed like an interesting way of doing things.

A lot of well ran quizzes now put zip lock bags on the tables and every participant has to put their phone in the bag. and the bag is left on the table.

People who use smart phones at quizzes are a lower form of intellect than mongs who know nothing.

Aye, I used to be a dab hand at the quizzes but never quite happened for me...

Started in primary school, very promising from an early age - won a few local & classroom events - drafted onto the school's Credit Union team, youngest at the time I believe. Held my own that year, and subsequently carried the team in later years, winning the early rounds easily but falling at the penultimate hurdle. I suppose the early fame changed me, was it the drugs, girls, extra milk portions at lunch time? Guess I'll never know given what happened next.....

Got to secondary school, dreams of the big league. Ray D'Arcy & Blackboard Jungle was the goal.....but no...my dreams snatched before me. This wasn't a "quiz school". Any non-sporting extra-curricular activities frowned upon, I pleaded my case - Y'know I would have carried that team along as I had many many others. To no avail and so my flame was extinguished.

By the time I got to university I had become embittered and hardened with grief. Quizzing held no joy anymore and I shunned any attempt by friends to invite me onto pub quiz teams - too many painful memories I said.

A cautionary tale, perhaps, but one with a happier ending. A few months back I succumbed and agreed to take part in a table quiz with work colleagues. We didn't win and I didn't get everything correct, however it was fun and I barely thought about the previous glories snatched from me. Small steps they say. Now I find myself watching University Challenge, firing off answers and shouting at Jeremy Paxman to hurry up. I'm going to start a postgraduate course soon so this could be my big opportunity, my chance at what was denied me so many years ago.....what will I make of it this time??? Only time will tell........

I love them and always have from a young age. The pub quiz's though as someone has mentioned have descended into farce with people using their phones etc or just blatantly copying other teams answers.

However they are quizes run for the purists around my area. Serious affairs with decent prizes on offer like 50euro cash for each team member.:eek::D
Strict rules are applied and all electronic devices have to be surrendered before the commencement of questions.
