you should come along to a boards beers the next time the lads organise one, or there's usually the quiz on monday night in o connells, good crowd and the quiz isnt taken too seriously...

incidentally though Kess, you'll have to come to the next one too, we'll recognise you wearing your running liotard and a viking helmet!

not at all dellas, speaking for myself, i just heard about the quiz on boards so i went down when i'd a night off, first time there and champo (quizmaster at the time) formed a team between myself and two other first timers and we'd a great laugh, we nearly forgot we were supposed to be making an effort!

so then that encouraged me to go down the next night and the lads couldn't make it so this time i grew a set and hopped in at a table with two other lads where i thought they needed a spare body, only found out later in the conversation they were on boards aswel, again had a great night and a good laugh, all in all i'd say there were about fifteen tables with three, four, and even i think i counted five at one table!

i havent been able to get down to a quiz since with work but im hoping to get down again, went on a boards beers too and we'd a great laugh, made all the better because people brought along their friends too that werent on boards and there was a good crowd of us, about twelve of us, which meant there was enough of a group of us all to chat to each other, but not so many that anybody got left in the background or felt left out...

hope that gives you some sort of idea to encourage you to just go for it, come down or come out and have a ball...

Thanks for that! I defo think Id be interested in going! Need to find some gump to get going on me own tho (none of my friends interested in table quizzes). Do ye meet before hand or anything?

nah we dont meet beforehand at all, well the quiz usually starts around half 9 so i arrived down there at about 20 past to scope it out for a bit, truth be told im the definition of 'socially awkward' myself so i was even apprehensive about going to the quizzes or the beers night but at the same time then i enjoy meeting new people, once i get over my own initial awkwardness!

i'll probably head down next monday again myself once i kinda plan it forward, but i thought too when i first thought about heading down 'oh, formal table quiz, best behaviour!', i couldnt have been more wrong, as i said in a previous post, i'd a great laugh from the get-go, from the eyebrow raising dodgy team names, to the laughs in between rounds, i dont think anyone there could have taken it seriously, certainly wasnt a competitive atmosphere anyway, im sure your friends would enjoy it too as its not the typical table quiz type where everything is all serious and what not, its definitely more of a social thing than anything competitive!

That would be great! Let me know if you are going (give a PM) and could arrange to meet you maybe near the place? And xsiborg if you wanna join forces too..

Now I don't want any fighting over who gets to be on my team guys... :D
I will probably have to head for the last bus at 11 so might miss the end, but I am sure I will have well destroyed our chances by then already...

dellas1979

hehehe
As long as we have a bit o craic and get the odd q right, we'll be the finest.
