Pub Quiz

fakearms123

I was just at a pub quiz there last night and our team didnt do as badly as I thought, I noticed that individually we were all laid back people at our table but when the questions came firing in we were more tense than a pair of Mary Harney's knickers ("Oh no he didn't!!"). Do you find as though pub quizzes gets your testicles all tickled up and ready to squirt, that it brings out a competitive side of you that doesn't come out that often? What is your favourite catergory? Mine has to be music, films and anything numerical ... maybe not dates so much but if it has to do with maths ill do well.
Are you the one with the pen and paper at the table or the one sitting back being unproductive?

Do you cheat?

I sit forward eagerly with paper and pen until it's taken off me because my handwriting is terrible and my answers are wrong.

Okay, okay, someone's still a little high on adrenaline, let's get you home and into bed.

I'm usually the one with the pen and paper because my handwriting is block capitals and I'm a genius.

I like pub quizzes but find that usually seem to start much later than advertised which results in me being a bit p*ssed and getting into an argument with at least one mate about what the name of our team should be.

I love quizzes, but the iPhone along with all the other lulphones that copied it killed any chance of a fair one.

I'm not bad at the movie scores where they play a recording
The Mission nearly always get played, good film too

Cheats with iphones should be flung out

Azureus

I hate when people use iphones etc-killjoys!!
Unless its my team the week before payday and theres a cash prize :P
I love ancient history and music trivia, always fairly ok at them! And im always the one writing cuz Im the only one whos writing is near legible after a few scoops

There's those jammers you can get that kill a phone signal. There was talk of bringing them into cinemas etc. till Doctors and the obnoxious lobby kicked up.

You can get them, but the 3G jammers are expensive, and I believe jammer use is illegal in Ireland.

I say the wrong answers loudly and then pretend like I'm being shushed by my team mates.

Normally I'm just sitting at the bar doing this alone though and I get asked to leave.

Except in pup quizzes... it's actually actively encouraged by legislation.

:pac:

It should be.

I can't get the mentality of someone who would cheat, using google in a pub quiz. It kind of negates the whole point.

I wish people would stop texting me looking for answers.

It drives me mad sometimes and then the are in such a hurry. If I give the wrong answer I will never live it down.

Just reply to all texts like that with "i love bunny rabbits/ i lick door knobs". That way its not like you're actually trying to answer it and getting it wrong.

....and i'll bow out now before it becomes a flirt fest

kfallon

Ah shite, I've just missed all the flirting

Used to love the Thurs night pub quiz in the local, was never taken to seriously, loads of cheating and the prizes were just handed out to whoever hadn't 'won' in a few weeks.

3 hours of banter amongst everyone!
