Is it just me or does anyone else wonder why Fine Gael are advertising a table quiz on Boards every time they see the thread title?

I accidentally went to a Sinn Féin table quiz once. I was not amused.

Back in the heady days of national school I was a regular on the table quiz team and we would compete in the various competitions: Credit Union, Cadburys, Community Games. Did pretty well in all, making a few national finals.

But the quiz considered creme de la creme was the Pioneers one. Never made it past the provincials in that. Our school principal who was a nun and avid Pioneer to boot drove us home in silence.

'It's an awful shame to let down the school like that tonight' she said to us as we got dropped back into the home town.

:eek:

What is twenty six plus six?

I went to a charity quiz once years ago. Entry was something outrageous like £300 per team, but I managed to convince our CEO to have the company cover the cost. On arrival each team was allocated a "celebrity". Some were moderately well known, but ours was a complete mystery to us because none of us were into GAA. So when Colm O'Rourke, who was the then Meath captain and a recent All-Ireland winner came over and introduced himself I think he was a bit put out that we weren't massively excited to have him on the team. When he told us he was a teacher we thought at least he'd be pretty decent, how wrong we were, he was feckin' useless and didn't seem interested in being there at all.

The quiz itself was the toughest I've ever been to, the questions were ridiculously hard. I think the winning score out of 100 was just under 60, and one team didn't even break 20. Where's the fun in that? And iirc the prizes even for the winners were just boxes of chocolates or something equally crap, despite the huge money they took in in entry fees and all the sponsors they had lined up. We politely declined when we received an invitation to return the following year.

I don't get all the hate for coconut, it's the greatest of all the nuts.

Baggly · 09-07-2019 10:41pm

Well it's better than the anagrams I came up with in the minute I spent trying!

quickbeam · 10-07-2019 6:21pm

Table 1 means automatic first place, right?

Hidey ho teammaterino!

I'd be happiest communicating by pm if that isn't too much of a pain for you and the others? Or maybe I could sign up to that discord thing?

Discord is the best

Triceratops Ballet · 10-07-2019 6:48pm

I think I still have discord on my phone

Electric Nitwit · 10-07-2019 6:53pm

Triceratops/Necro/Tusk - equally happy with anything for comms

Woah. Are you gonna answer all the questions right? If you are then we can use that name!

What were the Comms Prefs of any?

Necro · 10-07-2019 6:57pm

Will I set up a discord server so for our team

Or if anyone else wishes to do the honours

Ted_YNWA · 10-07-2019 7:00pm

@ kitten_K , Osh, bubblypop

Any preferred means of comms.

I have a discord server created if that suits.

FrKurtFahrt · 10-07-2019 7:08pm

I'm ready to roll and just waiting for contact from my team mates Mollyb60, sKieth and Collie D. I also have no clue what 'discord' is. WhatsApp works for me, but I'm open to suggestion.

If you could, that would be great. I've never used it but have just downloaded the app, I assume it's pretty straight forward

Hey Teamster! Whatsapp would be preferable for me as I'm gonna be out of the country till Sunday night. I can do PM's if necessary though. We'll see what Keith and Collie think.
