We love a quiz, us, don't we? AND we can get quite shirty if we think any rules are being bent. It's something else that foreigners don't understand about us.
Once or twice we've managed to be in the pub on quiz night so we'll buy an answer sheet and join in just not to be stick in the muds, BLIMEY! What a carry on once the thing gets going! People shushing each other and trying to spy or overhear or complaining to the barman because he can't read the questions out properly.
It's the best night out you can have for the money.
Doc: sounds great fun. The nearest I get to a pub quiz is on 'Eastenders'.
'twas fun and much easier for me as I was last to answer and got to see everybody elses guesses which helped a lot... hope that wasn't bending the rules too much.
Anyway I'm almost foreign now, so I'm excused and yipee I won. May not have been well deserved, but it was needed, so thank you Pat!
I can't believe I got the Muriel Spark one wrong! It was obvious, of course, after you told us. I could spit though. I loved Miss Brodie!
Our pub quiz is brilliant. We pay two dollars for at least two hours fun and outrage and combat and sometimes even victory - which comes in a liquid form for each round, meaning the team that wins an early round is handicapped a little for the later rounds. Overall winner gets a big plate of chocolate lava cake and cheesecake.
We won last night!
Nea: for now you are the Queen of Quotes.
Sam: I'm now feeling seriously deprived.
