Last night we went to another pub to try their quiz. It seemed very well-organised, with questions, music and video clips on screens, and pre-printed handouts for some of the rounds. The questions covered general knowledge, sports (where we did surprisingly well – usually we’re rubbish at sports rounds), geography (with the inevitable so-obvious-everyone-got-that-one questions about New Zealand geography, which totally floored us), and a music round consisting of speeded-up versions of popular songs, where we scored nothing (to be fair, I only knew about half the songs when played at normal speed – we’re not really down wiv da kidz these days). There were over twenty teams competing, and some of them were very good. We ended up about fourth from the bottom of the table, but made some errors which, had we not, might have elevated us a couple of places. The food and beer choice wasn’t brilliant, so we’re still thinking of this as a “possible” rather than a definite.
We have another pub to try on Thursday night, so we’ll see how it goes there. We may also return to the one we went to last week where the quiz was cancelled, to try them out again. It’s hard work, but someone’s gotta do it! Eventually we’ll find our level, I’m sure.
