Do You like or Attend Quiz Nights.

Leannexxx I always ask Mr google L

telmel lol now you can buy back then it was very slow so they would be about 5 questions behind lll

Leannexxx just goes to show how popular they are. When I was with my ex/late partner I used to run a quiz at our local and I loved doing it, long before all this tech so it was hard work compiling them!

telmel tut tut Tel, don't let me catch you cheating!

eyeballkerry I have found cruise ship ones to be very amateur and badly organised but hopefully yours was a better experience.

Lynibis Our favourite one is Battle of Brodies on board the P&O ships. Two large teams just having a great time. Only the team leader wins a prize. But I don’t do it to win anything just enjoy joining in.

eyeballkerry as it should be. I doubt we will win tomorrow

Lynibis How did the quiz night go? Did you have a good time? How may were in your team? What’s your specialist subject?

eyeballkerry hi. It is tonight so I will come back and let you know tomorrow. Just hope there are some history and literature questions as I am useless at most other subjects!

Lynibis You like history then. I was never interested in the subject at school but as I have got older I have become more interested.

eyeballkerry well we never learn from it but I find it fascinating. I am surprised you have not seen my many comments on the subject as I give history talks aside from watching documentaries. I can't read a book that is contemporary or modern, even if fiction. Fave author is Sharon K. Penman. If you like reading try The Sunne in Splendour. I will shut up now as folk on here will be thinking, oh my, she is going on about history again!!!

eyeballkerry well it was a lovely night out and the quiz was very well organised. However, I found the questions very obscure and the very old guy asking them did not speak very clearly so kept missing bits of very long questions, often with three parts and asked in a very confusing way! Needless to say we came last but in our defence there were only 3 of us. The other teams all had 6 and even 8 members.

They do a special quiz night menu with 4 choices for just £8 and my son and I agreed ours was the best fish and chips we'd ever had. Crispy fat chips and the lightest crispiest batter on the fish.

All in all a great night but no history or literature questions lol.

Lynibis Lovely to hear you had a good night out. It’s not about winning but just having a good time and enjoying yourself. Your fish and chips sound very nice.

wonderingsoul start asking friends to make up a team the week before.

Glitterandgold It's the two things I love most, being with my family and quizzing. If you go regularly there is always someone or team that wins every week. There was a guy on one of the teams where I organised quizzes who won every week and it did annoy everyone...no one likes a smarty pants lol. He ended up on The Chase.

Gromit22 sounds like fun. I would love to go regularly but not many friends are interested, they make excuses about not being clever, but of course that's not the point.

Lynibis yes that’s definitely not the point, it’s about having a night out with friends and also everyone brings that random bit of knowledge. On the Wednesday night ones I tend to know a lot more as the Saturday nights are harder although we do have a “quizzer” and he knows loads. I’m there for the really random ones that a quizzer isn’t going to know

JLouM you'll have to get some friends and neighbours to make up a team?

Lynibis Well could do but not sure yet. Nice to have a break at the moment.

SueWard very good way to socialise as you have to speak.

LL81 that's nice, hope it was an expensive one

Lynibis doubt it ! But we’re were made up about winning didn’t take to much notice probably had few too as was in a bar .

martinlufc5637 I play bingo every Tuesday at the old girls club. We use the number sheets over and over and use buttons to cover the numbers lol. Prize for a full house is choice of one of a selection of bars of chocolate. I was so embarrassed first time I went as I won two games in a row so I gave them to a couple of the old girls on my table

MrsCraig this one has a meal which my son has booked. It will be so nice to be out with family. although we meet up often for meals etc not so much outside our homes.

Lynibis we are the same, meals are always at home. We had a meal with my parents at a restaurant the other day and it was lovely. It isn't something we do often so was a nice treat.

janphoenix51 that sounds lovely. Quiz night can be great if organised well. My son suggested we go at least once a month but I think we need to get a couple more team mates as three brains were no contest for the other, much larger teams.

jms19 if nothing else it gets you out of the house and socialising. Especially on cold dark nights when you can't do much in the garden.

Pjran I find it's a question of asking the right question lol. I am sure yours and most others minds are filled with information but you usually get asked the wrong subjects. As everyone knows, I am a history geek but at both quizzes there has not been a history round. I am useless at sport but 15 in one quiz were on that subject!
