Weekly Pub Quiz post!
February 1st, 2006 09:41 amIt's that time of the week again when we head off to the bright lights of the big city (okay Telford Town Centre) to annoy the lcoals with our knowledge of all things useless.
Ensconced in our little alcove His Lordship and I awaited the arrival of the rest of the team. Last week they didn't turn up until question six, this week they were here just in time for question two. So our team this week was all regulars, His Lordship, me, Jim, Claire and Hugh. Because we couldn't think of anything Jim-related (and because I didn't want it to be hair related) we were called Team Cheddar Pavement (for those of you who don't know, Cheddar Pavement was His Lordship and Jim's suggestion for a baby name for their cousin Jack.)
( general ignorance )
As always comments are screened so you can all have a go and show off your immense knowledge.
Between five of us we managed to get 11, which isn't bad at all and at the end of that round put us in first place (Go Team Cheddar Pavement!)
The Pictures round was actually a lot easier than previous weeks, with the 118 118 men, Scappy Doo, Bend it like Beckham and Independance Day making appearances. I think we managed to get 9 or 10 off that round.
The sounds was dead hard this week. The only voice I got was Richard Hammond (it was the Brainiac experiement where they were using fire extinguishers to race office chairs down a track). The TV themes included two different versions of the Top of the Pops theme and The theme to the Brittas Empire (cue loads of Brittas/Carol impressions)
The Music round was okay, we got the year right and two of the three short song clips, didn't know the first word to Three Times a lady but did manage to get 10/10 on the bits 'n' pieces round (which inlcuded such classics as UB40, S Club 7 and The KLF)
The sheets were handed in, the scores totted up. We were nervous after our poor showing last week. We shouldn't be, considering we came first! Yay 4 bottles of crap beer and 4 bottles of crap alcopop for us! woo!
Boys V. Girls was TV and film themed again, so I was in with a good chance of getting some. The boys and girls were very evenly mixed and there were quite a lot of us. The boys took an early lead and were winning 4-1 until I got Will O' the Wisp. The Girls started to pull it back then, but the boys kept edging ahead. His Lordship and Jim shouted out The Young Ones at exactly the same time much to everyone's amusement.
It got to 14-10 to the boys: I thhen got: The Family Ness (can't beleive no one else got it), This Morning, Play Your Cards Right and This is your Life on pretty much the first note - much to the amusement of Pub Quiz Bloke.
14 all.
It was tense.
The last song played. It was The Avengers. I knew it! I knew it! I got pipped by the boy who knew the tune to The Tweenies. Gutted. *cries*
But as always a good night was had by all and we went home happy with our crap beer/alcopops safe in the knowledge that I watch way too much TV.
