We went back to the Backbencher pub to quiz again, and used our ill-gotten gains from last week. We had dinner this time, which was OK but not brilliant. I think I need to lower my expectations a bit – after all, we were perfectly satisfied with burgers and chips at the Ship & Whale! Again, we scored badly on the news round, but playing our joker on the capitals round and getting the connection fairly quickly as well, we finished a creditable 3rd! We still need to recruit a Kiwi to our team, then maybe we’ll be challenging for the top spot (the first two teams finished quite a few points ahead of us). So we’ll be back next week to try and improve on that position.
The quiz ended at around 9pm, and afterwards all but one of the teams cleared out of the pub immediately. We went over and chatted to the remaining team, to find out that, yes, they were mostly Brits, either visiting or permanently expatriates, and were equally bemused by the sudden exodus. Anyway, we seem to have found our niche in pub quizzing, hopefully we’ll be able to beef up the team sometime soon.
I had the prawn risotto and I thought it was really good. And it should be noted that we'd have been fourth if it hadn't been for the two guys who told us what the score was in the Phoenix game
