    Compared to the Emoji and Pictogram rounds, the Crisp round was a ****-show. Wanting the brand was fair enough, but flavour too?

    Sour.

    Cream and Onion, of course ;)

    Ah Jaysus, I thought we'd done well until I saw the rest of the scores. Every other team cheated, that's the only explanation. :mad:

    Congratulations to the winning team, and thanks Molly and Clara for organising. Look forward to the next one! :D

    I think we all should accept that the quiz masters did a great job and that the scores are correct. We finished fourth and had a great craic in Discord discussing the answers so I really don't mind that we didn't win.

    He is right. Three teams were tying at that, we weren't in the lead. Is it possible to just address the query??

    And there's no way that first picture were bacon fries.

    These are bacon fries.

    I just did google it now. We didn't write frazzles for our answer. Which is not the point. Bacon fries is not the correct answer. That and I've eaten enough bacon fries over the years to know the picture we got isn't bacon fries.

    Top one looks like an actual pic of a pack someone grabbed - bottom one looks like a manufacturers 'best version of our crisp pic'. We all know Big Macs look different in RL to how they appear when you buy one.

    The scores and tables are correct.

    If there is any real issue can you PM Molly and myself.

    @Mollyb - there used to be a pub on Botanic Avenue (I think) somewhere close to the empire that did a quiz every sunday nite, I've looked through google maps but can't find it. Can you help me? It is bugging me!

    Problem is a lot of the pubs around there have changed names so it might not be called what you knew it as?

    I've been to a quiz in the Taphouse (now called the Playwright bar), that's just off Botanic so it could be that one. It's on Lower Crescent.
    There aren't many pubs on Botanic actually. The one on the corner straight across from the Empire is called Townhouse now. Think it used to be called the Metro bar. Not sure if that ever did quizzes.

    Not the Eg up across from The Bot, no? I know they did quizzes a lot. Or Ryans on the Lisburn Road? That does themed quizzes all the time and they're usually great craic.
