The Weekly Pub Quiz Post!!
It's back after its Christmas Break. Last night's team (named Jim's Incompatible - long story) consisted of Jim, His Lordship, Me and Claire & Hugh. The team next to us has 12 members and still only managed to come eighth (*shakes head*)
We managed to do a little bit better.
1. Who, on average have bigger brains in proportion to their body size? Men or Women?
2. What is the name of the nearest star to Earth?
3. What animal represents a zoo on an Ordinance Survey map?
4. Which fish's skin was once used as sandpaper?
5. What are the names of Donald Duck's three nephews?
6. Which US singer once said "I get to go to lots f cool overseas places like Canada."?
7. What is the world's longest running TV comedy series?
8. How many wings does a Bee have?
9. What is the best time of day to buy a pair of shoes?
10. Who taught Eliza Doolittle to be a lady?
11. What do Chef's call the 'Master Spice'?
12. Who was the tallest American President?
13. In Victorian times why were Postmen nicknamed 'robins'?
14. Who appeared in over 30 Alfred Hitchcock films?
15. A £5 coin was issued last year to celebrate whose birthday?

We managed a fairly respectable second (with 30 points, 3 behind the first place team - our weekly nemesis' (or is it nemesis's?)). It's Jim (bless him) he curses us into 2nd place. Although we'll have to make the most of him - there's only 19 pub quizzes now until he goes to Australia, then we won't have him at all. :(
Didn't do too badly on the Boys V Girls round, correctly getting Manic Street Preachers (Design for Life) and U2 (Elevation) before His Lordship (much to his annoyance. He did get Apache Indian though and a couple of hours so he wasn't too sad. Next week it's TV themes again so I'll romp home with that ;)
Sadly, Pub Quiz Bloke is busy the night of Claire & Hugh's wedding and can't do a pub quiz so me and His Lordship will do one for them. Once it's done I'll put it all up, music round, picture round and all and you lot can all have a go with it.
