Weekly Pub Quiz Post!!
It's time for the Pub Quiz post!
No Jim again this week as he was in Birmingham doing stuff to prepare for his picture framing exams he's got in November so it was me, His Lordship, Claire, Hugh and Will playing as team Jim's doing an exam.
Things we learnt at the quiz this week:
[x] Gorilla's beat their chests when they're angry.
[x] The Eiffel Tower was built before the Empire State Building (and I even knew it was in 1889)
[x] The most popular holiday destination for Brits is Spain
[x] Lenny from the Simpson's surname is Leonard.
[x] Dates grow on palm trees
[x] Gareth Gates is the youngest male solo artist – ever – to go straight in at Number One.
[x] A snail's reproductive organs are in it's head
We lost a point on the picture round (where we usually get full marks) because we couldn't remember the name of the Building Society Mark Benton advertises. (You know the adverts with their effing new customers only *stabs* DIE! DIE! DIE!) (I'm sure he's a lovely bloke really and he is a good actor (He was ace in The Second Coming) but those bloody adverts annoy me soooooooo much that I cheered when he got shot by the Autons.
*breathes*
*breathes some more*
And now I am calm again. I wasn't the only one who disliked him/the adverts so it wasn't too bad.
On the voices/films rounds we dropped points by not knowing our disco classics, or fifties/sixties swing. But we did guess Phone Booth on the movies clips and His Lordship impressed everyone by guessing Where Eagles Dare for the other movie clip. Again no Johnny Depp. *cries*
His Lordship embarrassed himself in front of the group by guessing a Westlife song from just the intro. *tuts* I am so ashamed.
The scores were totted up and rechecked and out of the fifteen teams playing we managed a grand score of 31/40 which secured us a first place spot! Four bottles of Grolsh and four bottles of Irn Bru WKD were ours all ours. (The WKD is going to join the rest we've won over the weeks and become a care package to my sister – she's so poor she can't afford loo roll at uni – bless).
Then it was the girls v boys music round. I actually go one this week for the girls (Sugarbabes), His Lordship got two for the boys and Hugh managed three. The Boys won 15-13.
And then it was out into the rain and home for bed.
Until next week….
