The Great Pub Quiz Game Thread

It was a good run though. I make it 4 wins in a row. I’ll have to flick back through them, but surely we’d have noticed a better run? I think we can comfortably say it’s a course record. :slightly_smiling_face::racehorse::medal_sports::medal_sports::medal_sports::medal_sports:

Edit: I’ve just had a nostalgic riffle, and the previous record holder seems to be @Onlyones with 3 in a row. :medal_sports::medal_sports::medal_sports:

@Ian_Chimp Apologies, been stuck for time this week.

Also, had a quick look and think the questions this week were well above my pay grade.

Thanks.

I had a look at the questions and my brain just melted away into a pool of goop so I will skip as I don’t think I would get above 3 or 4 and that will make me cry

Maybe it’s time to talk about having an easier quiz. :slightly_smiling_face:

Perhaps I should pick up a new Trivial Pursuit with more modern questions in?

I can officially declare the winner of this week’s Great Hump Day Quiz is… :drum::drum::drum:

@Peitho :trophy::tada::balloon:

Congratulations! :slightly_smiling_face:

I wanted to give @SexInTheCity a ½ point for :orange_heart:5, but ‘Hendrix’ seemed like it was pushing it. :slightly_smiling_face:

Ahahaha oh my goodness… I think Hendry was what I meant but I must have had Jimmy Hendrix on the mind :joy: (or Hendricks gin probably more likely :woman_shrugging:t2:)

4 :yellow_heart: - Is tragic lights the same as traffic lights… :thinking::joy:

Chuffed with my :green_heart: score though!

Well, they did blow up and kill a policeman. :man_shrugging::slightly_smiling_face:

(But no, it was actually a genuine typo. I think my autocorrect may be funnier than I am. :thinking:)

(I’ve corrected it now :+1::slightly_smiling_face:)

Yay - Thank you @Ian_Chimp and @SexInTheCity !

Definitely some lucky guessing involved this week as I thought they were really hard too… I can’t actually see the answers though @Ian_Chimp , am I being dense? Click on the Answers drop down and get topic headers but no answers :thinking:

Nope? They’re definitely in there. :slightly_smiling_face:

How weird… hopefully this photo is allowed as site photo albeit forum not shopping site but this is what I get when I click on the Answers drop down…

All those extra Scoreboard names shouldn’t be there either. It looks like you’ve got an old version stuck. Is there some way you can super-refresh your page?

Doh, yes, having shut down forum completely it is working now. Not quite sure why it got stuck on an old one, as I’d left this thread in between.

Annoyed with myself for :blue_heart:2, sounds like Sea of Tranquility so should have thought of the Moon! Definitely lucky punts in :yellow_heart:History though.

I usually have a quick look at the questions on my phone at work, mull over the ones i feel i know but can’t quite grasp, then actually do the quiz on my laptop at home, often i get a wrong answer stuck in my head, and put it down! The ampersand/snail one a few weeks ago, i could have kicked myself over!
