Fifth!!!

[gness]

We came fifth in the pub quiz! Fifth! :-(

How did that happen?....Well there were twenty five questions on telly.....and twenty of those were pictures of adverts.....

Who watches adverts?......I knew one....John Lewis and only because I'd seen it on here.........Dave knew the Aldi carrot...as if he eats his veg......and that was it really..... another birder guessed House of Fraser ....so we put M&S for all the others and got that one right......

But most impressive and got a huge cheer from the pub was Dave's correct answer to how fast is the earth moving through space as it goes around the sun.... at speed because our quizmaster won't hang about.....
He worked it out on the back of a fag packet!

Nice evening.......x

Well done.

You'll have to have a ( another ) word with that quiz master, he seems to have forgotten how much you like to win, gness !.
hang on, Dave got a veggie question right !.

Smug of Sheffield writes: Guess who won the local history group's quiz last night?
And the raffle?

[DaisyNonna]

Watch adverts?
No way
Opportunity to go to the loo or pour a drink, check the phone or read a couple of pages of the current book
Even pop into AB

Well thank you, Tuvok....even if we are a little disappointed with...no we're not....we just don't watch telly when we can quiz and bird.....but you can have a word with Chris about being polite to a lady......watch him come back on that one!!!!☺

Nine teams, Chris...... x

In truth Tony......we don't mind losing...once or twice a year.....otherwise we blush when we pick up the prize...just once or twice mind...x

We couldn't make Melv's quiz or his team would've been second...but still won the raffle......x

Exactly, Daisy.......most TV is recorded...watched late at night and adverts whizzed through.....x

We got all the Christmas song ditloids except the one that turned out to be... It's a Marshmallow World????? We'd never heard of it......googled it when I got home....it's awful......x

[tonyav]

Just for you then, gness.
