Just a reminder that the Quiz Room will be open this Friday morning. Don't forget to bring a pen Very Happy

by Legend Fri Mar 04, 2011 1:49 am

The first Friday of the month is rapidly approaching, in fact it's tomorrow. That can only mean one thing - The 606v2 Pub Quiz Debut. Don't miss out on the event and once again... good luck! Very Happy

by Legend Fri Mar 04, 2011 5:20 pm

OP updated with today's quiz. You have until midnight tonight to submit your answers to me. Try to answer all questions even if you have to guess and for one final time... GOOD LUCK!

I will mark all submissions over the weekend and reveal the results on Sunday. Hug

by Davie Fri Mar 04, 2011 5:28 pm

Looks to be good fun! I'll be having a go later.

Please stress to people, asking them not to use search engines. You'll never be able to enforce it but I hope people respect it.

I'm sure everyone could get 100% if google were allowed but it's more fun not to use it!

by Legend Fri Mar 04, 2011 5:37 pm

Thanks Davie, I updated the quiz to stress that. I pretty much copied what you said (if you don't mind) and then highlighted it in red to make sure they read it.

by Davie Fri Mar 04, 2011 6:11 pm

by Adam D Fri Mar 04, 2011 7:18 pm

sent you my answers - and you know that I havent cheated, as my score will reflect!

by Legend Fri Mar 04, 2011 7:34 pm

Well done for the swift submission mate! thumbsup

I am trusting everyone not to cheat anyway, do well see how it goes. I won't get time to mark them until this afternoon, but I gave a brief run through on yours and I will say now that you haven't done too badly! Smile

by Guest Fri Mar 04, 2011 8:18 pm

by Legend Fri Mar 04, 2011 9:38 pm

Okay YI, just the two replies so far. Please tell others about it if you find the time thumbsup

by Legend Fri Mar 04, 2011 11:52 pm

The answers will go up first thing tomorrow morning, but the results won't go up until I have marked them- Probably Sunday

by Guest Sat Mar 05, 2011 3:19 am

by asdral225 Sat Mar 05, 2011 4:02 am

by Legend Sat Mar 05, 2011 10:04 pm

Answers for the first quiz are now up along with the results and updated league table.

by Guest Sat Mar 05, 2011 10:07 pm

15. What do singers Dido and Annie Lennox have in common?
But they are both women !!!! Whistle

by Davie Sat Mar 05, 2011 10:11 pm

Nice one Legend. Is the next one really 1st April?

by Kaiser Sat Mar 05, 2011 10:15 pm

Could you tell me What did I get 1/2 a point for?

Cheers

by Legend Sat Mar 05, 2011 10:17 pm

YI Man: but the golden rule is that the quizmaster is always right. Whatever is on his answer sheet is final. I even gave you two half marks for some questions Smile

Davie: yes it is, but if the demand is high I can make them more often. At the moment they take place on the first Friday of every month.

Yesterday I was speaking to Hero and he said we could move it to it's own place, so make people more aware of it. At the moment the quiz is a bit hidden away, as it's only mods and wrestling fans that use the nags head. Hopefully we can get more people to take part next time. I'd happily Mark another twenty quizzes thumbsup

by Adam D Sat Mar 05, 2011 10:19 pm

can we have a TV and Movie round next time?

Oh, and food and drink thumbsup

by Legend Sat Mar 05, 2011 10:19 pm

Kaiser: You got half a Mark for saying 'something city'.

YI man, your two half marks were for the same thing as kaiser and also putting 'donkey kong new york' for 21

That's fair enough. I'd forgotten you'd said they were monthly. Would be nice if they were a bit more often but I know how much work they are to put together

by Legend Sat Mar 05, 2011 10:20 pm

If that's what you want Hobo, then I can do that next time. thumbsup

by Legend Sat Mar 05, 2011 10:22 pm

I honestly wouldn't mind Davie, but if only 8 people are going to take part I don't see much point. That's why I think it would be good to have the pub quiz moved somewhere better. Hero had some good ideas about that, so I'll see what he says

by Davie Sat Mar 05, 2011 10:23 pm

Next time you do one I'll try to promote it in the golf section too

by **ADMIN** Sun Mar 06, 2011 1:21 am

Woo hoo!
I'm 3rd, well chuffed with that.

Great work Legend, really enjoyed it.

In fact so much it has it's own section on the site now.

by Legend Sun Mar 06, 2011 1:23 am

Cheers Hero! randy

This is no longer the place for discussion. Please use The Official Pub Quiz: Discussion thread if you have any queries or if you simply wish to brag.

by Legend Sun Mar 13, 2011 3:49 am

The date for Quiz 2 has been updated to 18th March. Legend's Pub Quizzes now take place once every fortnight thumbsup

by Legend Fri Mar 18, 2011 7:53 am

The second edition of Legend's Pub Quiz takes place tomorrow, so if you are around be sure to take a look and even take part if you so wish Wink

by Legend Fri Mar 18, 2011 5:10 pm

The Pub is now open, so PM me your answers before midnight tonight. thumbsup

by Guest Sat Mar 19, 2011 2:16 am

by Adam D Sat Mar 19, 2011 2:17 am
