On our exploration of the harbourside at the weekend, we’d noticed that one of the bars ran a quiz night on Wednesdays, so last night we went out to check it out. When we got there we asked the barman about it:
“Hi, is the quiz happening tonight?” I asked, looking around the almost empty pub.
“Begorrah, to be sure, the weather’s keeping everyone away, an’ all” he replied.
“You’re not from round here, are you?”
“To be sure, begorrah, what gave me away?”
It seems that the Wellingtonians are fair-weather quizzers. It had been raining all day, but when did a bit of rain ever hurt anyone? We stayed in the pub and had dinner there, including the quiz night special, even though there was no quiz; played a game of pool, then came back home. Next week, we’re going to try quizzing in another bar. Hopefully they won’t cancel it.
It sounds as though you've found a fabby and marvy place to live.
ReplyDeleteI'm deffo jealous of the quiz nights.
Nicola and I were regular quizzers back in good ol' London Town, at our local pub, and then another slightly less local one when that stopped doing quizzing, so one of the first things we started looking for was somewhere to carry on quizzing. There's a few pubs that run quiz nights, so we're experimenting at the moment to see which one we like best. This could involve some serious research, as they'll need to sell decent beer, and do a good dinner on quiz nights.
