iPhones have killed the pub quiz

super_furry · 22-08-2009 3:22pm #1

Every fecker with one has wikipedia at their fingertips now. I was at a pub quiz on Thursdays and it's emdemic people. There's going to have to be an iPhone embarogo with a strict stop and search policy in order to save things.

Why just the iPhone? Most modern phones have a web browser on them?

People who cheat on pub quizzes should be run out of the country.

phasers · 22-08-2009 3:24pm

People who cheat on pub quizzes should be banned from all pubs in Ireland.

abouttobebanned · 22-08-2009 3:31pm

photoshop or something i suppose. If you've been to a quiz in waterford you've probably seen them.

Or any quiz in the country? I've seen them same "manipulated" screenshots so many times I could name them easily.

In my local when they do a pub quiz, all the players have to hand in their mobile phones for the duration of the game now because everyone was cheating before. It's stopped most of the cheating.

Overheal · 22-08-2009 3:35pm

people who cheat on pub quizzes should be taken outside and forced to eat poo

First off, I was just saying cause I'm in Waterford and so was the other poster. Secondly, there are hundreds of rounds on that website so I don't think you'd spot them that easily.

They must be made using other shots when the camera angle changes aswell because the all have the exact background, textures, lighting etc. right

Only a pathetic sad bastard would go to the effort of cheating to begin with, especially on a pub quiz. It's for fun, not for cheating.

Some people must win at all costs though. People are idiots.

Edgedinblue · 22-08-2009 4:04pm

Ive recieved a fair few texts over the last couple of years from people who are at quizzes asking me the questions, i usually write back really quickly with the wrong answer telling them im 100% sure and all that lark. they then trust me and keep texting me for answers, nice wrong answers

People who cheat in pub quizzes should have their pint pissed in a little, not enough that they realise but enough that they have a bad aftertaste and a niggling doubt.

spurious · 22-08-2009 4:19pm

People who cheat on pub quizzes probably need to.

Why would anyone NEED to cheat in a pub quiz? It's a pub quiz. It's not life or death is it?

Karl Hungus · 22-08-2009 4:33pm

People who cheat in pub quizzes should be sat at the back of the oven.

Saibh · 22-08-2009 4:45pm

People who cheat in pub quizzes should be made hand over their mobile/iphone to be destroyed.... that will teach them...

aidan_walsh · 22-08-2009 4:47pm

Phones were providing cheating opportunities long before the web reached them, with people sending text messages to friends who know all about that stuff regularily.

biko · 22-08-2009 4:59pm

I can never win at quizzes, never watch soaps.
Any girls wanna join my team?

tarbuck · 22-08-2009 5:02pm

Invigilators is the answer! Pay some piss poor grad student a twelveth of a pittance to walk around the pub keeping an eye on everyone. Have another one in the jacks to watch people when they're taking a wee-wee.

We will get out pub quizzes back!! :mad:

WindSock · 22-08-2009 5:05pm

People who cheat at pub quizzes should be made have the latest chart hits as their ringtones.

I invigilated the Leaving cert in 2008, the pay was great and I robbed tons of biscuits

Robbing the biscuits is as bad as cheating on a pub quiz. Shame on you!

No, unless you don't know the answers.

How many feathers on a shuttlecock?
15, or no, maybe 16...or maybe that's the number of whacks of the axe it took to chop off her head.
Whose head?
I can't remember.

People who cheat on pub quizzes should be slathered with honey and fed to ants

jester77 · 22-08-2009 7:17pm

Well, when the first prize is a €60 tab then it comes down to who can search the fastest!

Gordon · 22-08-2009 7:28pm

People who cheat at pub quizzes should be disqualified.

pigeonbutler · 22-08-2009 7:29pm

Hanging is too good for people that cheat in pub quizzes.

It's a good kick in the arse they need!

Diabhal Beag · 22-08-2009 7:29pm

I hate the numerous ****ers who think it's cool to come last to prove how ''Cool'' they are.

**** 'em
