It's the Weekly Pub Quiz Post
February 22nd, 2006 08:10 amNo Jim again this week ('cos he's in Ireland visiting the Oirish girls he met on his travels around Europe. Bless). So it was His Lordship, me, Clair and Hugh as team Truffle Shuffle (Which may be our new team name - but only if His Lordship does the truffle Shuffle when we win.

We managed a very respectable 12/15 putting us joint top with the team of seven sitting on the next table to us (but more on them later *looks vaguely annoyed*). You'd think I'd have got the T&D one right *rolls eyes* I thought there were only 7 judges in that year but I was wrong and it threw my years out. pah.
The pictures round was okay, we got 8/10 not particularly good, but ok. Strangely so did the table next to us. Hmmmmm. The voices round we did rubbish at, but I feel discriminated against because I don't watch soaps. One of the voices however was Andrea from Dancing on Ice but I couldn't remember her surname. His Lordship wasn't impressed:
HL: "You watch it for five hours on a Saturday evening!"
Me: "But I don't watch it for her!" Annoyingly I could remember everyone else's surnames. Pah.
We did much better on the TV and Film sounds round, correctly spotting the theme tune (write the theem toon, sing the theem toon) to League of Gentlemen, Bonanza and Juliet Bravo. Only two teams out of the fourteen got Juliet Bravo - us and the team next to us. How strange. (I'm spotting a pattern here).
The TV sound round started with the line: "Are you my mummy?" <- cue me giving out a huge squeal of fangirl!glee and then crying at the thought of gaskmask!Jamie.
Our music round went really well too. We got a lot right. We were feeling very positive about getting 1st or 2nd but when the scores were totted up we got 30-something but only came third. THIRD!
But who came first and second? Well. The two teams were actually joint first and can you guess who they were? That's right, it was the table next to us. They'd entered as two teams, copied some of our answers and got 12 bottles of crap beer out of it.
As we walked past them to go to the Boys V Girls round they said very loudly "I can't believe we won and we gave different answers too!" Sadly Claire and His Lordship didn't make a sarcastic comment back. I know I'm not the best of losers at the best of times but it really annoys me when there's blatant cheating.
Whatever.
The Boys V Girls round was a whitewash by the boys winning 12-4 *looks ashamed* but I did get Roswell right on the second duff. His Lordship got loads right and one of the theme tunes was Mysterious Cities of Gold - I loved that when I was a kid (as did Andi Peters).
Stupid Pub Quiz.
