thurs 27th nov at the CG... not the actual stfc one but one of the general quiz nights which are usually a giggle.

anyone up for it?

ME ME!! can I be in your team - you know it would be rubbish without me!! Funily enough on Tuesday I asked Ned Flanders man who does the quiz cause he does the bottle bar in the legends - I have taken to drinking Magners before games as it makes me feel happy

only if you wear that belt bra/top from your top trumps pic

ha ha ha I actually detest Jodie Marsh - Im in a facebook group called Jodie Marsh is a vile waste of space


wouldnt quite look the same on my fried Eggs love
 ;)

I'm up for some quizzage.

you will be shocked at my goodness at quizzage - I can promise you

ooooh do you think the standard of raffle prizes may have gone up since the new board arrived?

Sounds good to me but for some reason the 27th of November rings a bell, so I might be busy....

OMG just checked my diary and I have an eyelash perm booked that night but I could move it??

i think i actually love you char :D

g'wan then

OMG Alex I have to tell you about the WEIRD dream I had about you

Isnt wasnt sexy sorry  :cry:

basically we were on a rollercoaster in Blackpool - I was too scared to go on but you made me - I woke myself up by banging my arm on the headboard waving my hands in the air in a "rollercoaster style"

haha, brilliant... That's ace!

Count me in Jim Lad

Is this a general knowledge quiz or a football one?

I should read the first post properly, I'm in.

it's definitely thursday 27th of november

The first quesiton of the quiz will be:

How jealous of Jodie Marsh is JFW?

count me in.

answer: not very!

Sonic shall I move my eyelash perm then?

Do it!

ahhh you make me feel loved

Ill call the salon this morning

Tis not booked yet though?

Sonique can ring Ned Flanders man

can we think of a team name before we go this time rather than sitting round the tabel trying to decide for an hour?

'Belts and boobs'

ha ha ha ace

bit more info:

8 people per team, £5 per person (meal included)

and we have eight:

Sonic
Charlotte
Sam
DV
Mulley
Fred
Andy
Sippo

i'll book it later today.

 :eatkf:

I organised an event for some clients last night that included VIP entry to Funky Buddha nightclub in London - They have just called me to say they were sharing the VIP area with Jodie Marsh and they all had there pictures taken with her!! Oh how I laughed!

Thanks for organising this Sonique xxx

err we had so better still be doing this? - Ive moved my eyelash perm now

if anyone eles has a team going im up for it

I love the way no-one replied to me!!

 I'm doing a quiz down the CG on Thursday, but it's only teams of 4 and there are already 3 others, otherwise you'd have been welcome JFW.

 

ahhh thanks Reg - Im getting used to Soniques neglect

I've cleared my calendar for this, so i hope our team is in. I'll check with Jim tonight...

hello yes it's going ahead and is booked

i'll be paying in advance, so give me cash on the night or if you see me before.

love you xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Good work. I'll furnish you with 5 sterlings this evening.

Oi get off here and solve my problems!!! ;)

you need to tidy up that partition, 200gb worth of ghost images floating in random folders. tsk!

need to start thinking about what Im gonna wear!!

I'll be putting in minimal effort fashion-wise, maximum effort beer and knowledge-wise

OK Ill go the other way round then!!

Suits me! :)

i shall strike a happy medium.

no questions on twin peaks please...

Is that your nickname for Hando's wagons?

no! she's like a big sister to me.

one of my colleagues asked if you were fit when they saw a post of yours earlier, charlotte...

wagons???

How old is your sister JFW?

too old for you!! actually Ive forgotten shes must be like 24 or 25 or something

let me check Facebook!

Fuck-missed out again!Can I be first reserve Sonic?

Errrm, I'm 24 soon  ???

Ha Ha ace I only just saw this - God I officially feel old and unattractive now!!

I know. I moved them by accident. 

I'm sure you and your sister would make a lovely pair of Hands.

Si that is bad.....

 Speaking of Hands, the subject of those that got away often crops up and it reminded me of Eoin Hand.

 He was a big strong Irish centre half, who we brought over from Drumcondra, around 64 as an 18 year old...this was Bert Head time and he and his staff could spot a player.

 Hand never made it past the stiffs, which was a shame as we struggled for a centre half at the time.  He went back to Drumcondra, came over to Pompey a couple of years later, and played over 250 games for them and gained about 18 or 19 ROI caps.

 Later still he ended up managing hte ROI, before JC, and now works as a pundit for RTE.

"One in the Hand is worth two in Kate Bush ?"

*ducks for cover *

Is my surname Irish then Reg??

Si - Ive never heard that one before  ::)

You should have heard the other one about sisters starting a jazz duet.

 Certainly is...

really??? thats random

I just thought one day they ran out of ideas for surnames so starting using parts of the body?

You must be thinking of the Dublin  Lower-Intestines  JFW ?

bump as reminder

everyone still coming? you can pay me on the night. please don't delay. i'm unemployed as of friday.

Yep, I'll be there.

I'm there. And i have the Friday off. You can guess what my main contribution to the night will be.

What time does it KO again?!

Anyone fancy giving one a lift?

Ill be there

yeppy yep yepster - I moved my eyelash perm specially!!

I can pick people up if they like and they are nice to me

oooh Im off that Friday too!!

I'd be grateful for a lift, but i may be out of your way now!

yeah you dont live there anymore do you? where do you live now?

I'm round by Walmart now, my new house is lush.

Spot on. Near me then. Beer at the Blunsdon first?

Pleasssssssse JFW can I grab a lift?

Beer at the Blunsdon sounds perfick.

But I dont come past Walmart!  I live in Nam remember!  :cry:

The Loud & Proud team is making a return WITH Alan Hayward included!

ooooh really?

Could I bribe you? :)

depends what with? - to be honest Im quite easily brought!  :nod: :soapy tit wank:

You should have reminded me last night SY, I'd have given you the money then.

How many to a team??? we gotta beat uncle Alan!!

i forgot about it until today

Tea and crumpets?

sounds good!!

I'll provide the butter and jam...

Damn right it does! Or i could fund your coke/lemonade/J2O for the evening?

OK OK you talked me into picking you mingers up!! God I will need to use Tim the Tom Tom to find you!!

Sippo have we ever met? (not that that matters I like making new friends!!) - oh maybe at the Devere ball?

He's the one with the mullett.

that narrows it down! thanks!

The Devere ball was a bit messy so probably....

Have we found want time it starts.?

thats gone(ish now). See the pic that sonic posted. That is me.

I was the one on Sam Parkins table sat next to Sam and some oaf with his bowtie undone swigging table wine from the bottle (AKA Gazza!  ;))

Are we friends on Facebook?

Facebook???!!

I have a life, and am not registered on that.  :D  ;)

OH OK! - well you obviuosly like Pheonix nights/Max and Paddy so thats a good start! 

We still haven't a name yet?!

IS there any food available on t'night?

you used to get soem sort of food included - normally some kind of basket meal?

I thought our team name was belts and boobs? 

food is included in the price, yeah

So what time does this start? And are we meeting for some beers beforehand?

yeah! I need answers!

I think me and Sippo were considering the Blunsdon to make it easier for Hando to find us

 :thumb:

well..... except I dont know where that is!

Ah, right. It's the pub right next to the entrance to Walmart car park.

the Toby Carvery???

do you want me to come pick you up?

IS that not out your way james?

The other side of the main road to that. Or we could go there to be fair!

to be fair I havent been to Walmart for approx 10000000 years

I don't know, there is a busy road there!!  :D

http://www.emberinns.co.uk/theblunsdonarmsswindon/

If you have sat nav JFW.

If I can get to The Blunsdon can I have a lift?

yeah but charlotte doesn't seem too comfortable with this idea :)

apparently i haven't paid, so we can all pay on the night. my bank account confirms this, so i must have dreamt it.

If you do come our way James, then the probably the best way is faringdon, highworth way?

doors are at 7 (so bar opens at 7) and quiz starts at 7:30

I am comfortable once I know for sure where Im going! I can borrow Tim the Tom Tom from work 

i'll get to wherever, for whatever time, and jump in whoevers car...

Beers at 6 then? Half 5 or is that too early?

umm I finish work at Bradford on Avon at half five!

I finish work at 4, so either is good for me. shall we say 5.30?

you had better not by wrecked by the time I come and get you!

Hahaha, i won't be... i'm a good drunk anyway (usually)

I will be.   :D

Alex, its a date.

I'll be drinking on my own in town.

woooo Im excited - I saw Ned Flanders man last night!

who is our complete team?

Sonic
Charlotte
Sam
DV
Mulley
Fred
Andy
Sippo

I can sense nothing but victory...

I think we've got pretty much all general quiz genres covered. Sonic for film & music, Charlotte for all things celebrity, DV for pointless stats and Fred for ancient history.

I am good at nothing, well apart from drinking...  :D

Or "Current Affairs" as he thinks of it.

ha ha! ace dream team!! - Andy as in Bennett? wow hes got a dead sexy coat/beard combo going on - I saw him at Rovers and liked it! 

No, i think it's Andy as in AXS. Bennett isn't coming

AXS is equally as good to be fair!

Indeed. I needed someone more ginger (gingerer?) than me there.

A Bennett is going though...

I offer a personal guarantee to be more gingerer than any other individual you care to name.

i'm getting a little ginger as my hair grows.

everyone is definitely still coming, yeah? i'll be getting there for just before half 7, unless anyone would like a lift.

Come to the Blunsdon Jim if you want.

They have a quiz machine, so could get some practice in!

Myself and Fred will be in the CGH from about 6.40.

L&P returns tomorrow!

Whats Fred up to then?

I was going to pick him up at half 5?!

I text and asked if he needed a lift and he said yes please?!

He's going senile.

So I dont need to pick him up from his place at 5:30? Its only round the corner from me so is probably easier all round, but meh!

I'll find out tomorrow and let you know.

yeah if someone posts here or texts me...

Im sure before the match tuesday we decided that I'd pick up Fred at about 5ish to meet axs in the Merlin for 5:30....

Im sure I didnt imagine it.

You didn't. Someone let me know whats going on tomorrow before I go and sit in the wrong pub by myself all night.

Ha ha....loner.

I really hope its not this hard tonight!!
1. Which word used to describe someone who is skillfull means, when translated, 'to the right'?

2. What 'o'clock' is it in each of the following songs?
    a. Manic Monday
    b. She's leaving home
    c. I know what I like (in your wardrobe)

3. What was depicted on the seal of the Knights Templars?

4. With one word complete the following Acme Corporation inventions in The Roadrunner.
    a. dehydrated
    b. portable

5. What was the name given to the first nuclear test in the USA on the 16th of July 1945?

6. Leonidas da Silva and Ramon Unzaga are just two of the many men who have been credited with which spectacular sporting invention?

7. Which two semaphoric letters are found on the famous anti war peace symbol from the 1960's ?

8. According to legend, who rewarded a man for his loyalty by giving him  the secret recipe for Drambuie?

9. Like other coastal regions in the area, what was the coast of Florida called in the 16th century?

10. The United States, Australia, GB and France dominated the Davis Cup until 1974. India reached the final that year but refused to play the eventual winner. Which country won the 'ugliest salad bowl in the world' in 1974 and finally broke the big fours dominance?

I only know the answer to No. 3. which is the Dome of the Rock.

nope

isn't number 6 the Pele (well over-head kick)?

Whoop!  Im overly excited!!

I hope they do that picture one they always do - the one with the cities on- maybe someones photographic memroy stored the info from last time

Do you think the quality of raffle prizes may have improved now we have new owners?

Oh and where am I meeting everyone? In that pub that I dont know where it is?

Fuck me your good!!

If you're still okay with it, that'd be ace. :)

Did someone post the postalcode earlier in the thread?

Oh and Im wearing grey so no-one clashes!  ;)

I'm wearing dark grey...

lets all wear grey - team colours?

SN25 2NA

Thankyou my dear

Ill dig Tim the Tom Tom out

That's not fair, it's a bit of a trick question really. The seal comes in two forms; single sided and double sided. Both forms show the Dome of the Rock and the other side to the double sided seal is two men on a horse.

Oh and No. 1 is Adroit.

1. Is right.
3. Two knights riding on one horse

i've only got an old tatty radiohead hoody that's grey

Still ok for half 5 mate?

Yeah, i sure am... see you there!

ermmm the Tom Tom says no!!

Can you name your team after me please?

I'll take that as a no. You don't love me enough.

Hmmmm.... you knew where the Toby was didnt you? It's opposite that...

OK I will drive up there then text you

whare are we suppossed to call our team? Flammable Ben? or Just Ben?

"Fat Kids Are Harder to Kidnap"

(that's no tribute to Ben mind)

Crouching Woman Hidden Cucumber

tee hee!!!

Quiz Akabussi!

Dick Mackey better not be there cheating as usual

It's the Trust team you've got to watch out for, the bunch of under-the-table-PDA-Googling-fiddlers.

i like this team name

i think we should be called brawlers, bawlers and bastards...yes, i just want an obligatory tom waits reference.

reg smeetons encylopedia

No No Sonique Ive never even heard of this Tom man

how about 'charlotte's eyelash perm appointment'?

NO!!!!!!

It will make everyone notice that my eyelashes arnt supposed to look like this - I want people to think its natural!!

http://www.omniglot.com/language/phrases/hovercraft.htm

Stuart Pearce' Red n White Army!

DV are you still picking up Fred?

Or am I going to the pub on my own?

something I discovered tonight:

[url width=888 height=500]http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z84/axs0/JFWVenn.jpg[/url]

And yes, I understand my Venn diagram is paradoxical.

Stuart Pearce was there.

and just so you all know - she asked me to post this, I'm not being mean.

didn't seem overly confident after his interview though.

your vendiagram doesnt make sense

I already stated it was paradoxical.

wow, i'm impressed by your promptness, coherency and the quality of your venn diagram despite alcohol intake.


a good result tonight for the real quiz akibusi.

I'm in a cab on the way home (currently £11.70, the robbing bastard) and I'm proud of you all... Including Hando who is evidently too good to reply to my messages! :)

£14.30 now, FYI

Was good fun. How the fuck Fred would've managed to get up at 5.30 this morning to drive to Twickenham is beyond me. I'm still half pissed.

Did you win then?

5th out of 10 I think. We beat the L&P lot though. And the other wannabe Quiz Akibussi team.

That's the important bit! :)

A very creditable joint 5th. Although not quite as impressive as the 4th place for an understrength Trust Neville team, playing under a caretaker gaffer. Ahem.

Good work gang, sounds impressive!

I did it !

Then proceeded to fall over in the shower at approx 05.20am

very very pissed

Cant remember how I got here today or what route I took

Perhaps I flew

No.........hold on...................I can see my car in the car park

yep !..............I definately drove

I'm worried by the amount some of you drink.

Thanks to Sam's Missus for the lift home.

Shame they ran out of budweiser!!  >:( So had to go ont he guiness, which i haven't drunk for about 6 months! Its all good though!!

Good food, good laugh. when's the next one?

Wow.

Really?

What a hero.

we beat the fake quiz akibussi so they read their name out first so ours totally made sense.

if we'd had another token mid 40 year old on the team we might have done a bit better, or someone obsessed with cat food!

Can someone post a few questions-I desperately wanted to be in Sonic's team!

In what year did St Paul's Cathedral burn down?
What item has the slogan "So good, cats ask for it by name"?

Where were the UK's first escalators installed in 1949? BHS, Harrods or Tescos

Fuckin'hell-I know the cat one,it was that stupid miaow miaow miaow advert,Id guess Bhs were the first to have escalators and guess St.Pauls burnt down in the great fire of 1666

Yes, No, Yes.

Wahey-I get a "meatloaf"!

I thought BHS too - Harrods apparently

Hurray!! I love my velodrome or whatever its called!!

I love you all xxx

I understand there's another quiz night on Thursday 29th Jan if anyone's interested.

Possibly.......

General Knowledge?

 Yes, I believe so.

I'm in if we're doing a team.

If we get enough interest I'll email the club on Monday and sort us a table.

Ok, so far then there's:

Sam
Andy
Andy
Charlotte
(Chris)

I think it's teams of 8 again so any more takers?

Sonique?? How about O'Mulley the alley cat?

I want Axs to make me velodromes or whatever they are called again!

I've emailed the club today to try and get us a table.

Look, I know I'm vertically challenged but there's no need to take the piss!

Go on then, if there is room

Sam
Andy
Andy
Charlotte
Dan
Alex
(Seb)
(Chris)

So if Chubbs & Sippo want to give me a definite yes then we have our 8.

Go on then

Well Seb isn't a definite, so if you want in just say and you can have his place.

i say, fo definite

Right, that's our 8 then:

Sam
Andy S
Andy T
Charlotte
Dan
Alex
Chris
Andy B

Better hope we get a table now :D

 Shame you got a full squad, I was thinking about joining in.

I could well be up for it Reg-maybe we could get a TEF 2ND X1

oh, mine was a definate,

if theres another team im in

I'm up for going in as a 2nd XI

Don't you mean 2nd VIII?

XI would be our average mental age Sam.

Me too Reg if you get another team up.

 I only said I was thinking of playing...

did we get a table Sam? Im deeply excited

Yep, table booked.

Five pounds again?

Yep. Basket meal included.

yippeee

wow - I love meals in baskets (and Bennetts cheekbones!)

oh charlotte you little tease

sam, as team leader do you know if there's anything that contains no meat on offer?

I believe there was last time, yes.

'No Chicken with chips'.

thank you for your prompt response

sam, as team leader can you make me some cheese and onion sandwiches just incase they don't?

Scampi wasn't it last time?

Is it this week? Im having a pooey day and want something to look forward too

It's on Thursday i do believe. At least i hope it is, i cancelled on a curry on that assumption.

Sure is, Lucien shall I pick you up?

ooooh Ive just realised I have Thur arvo off work as have to dgo over some aerobics stuff with my instructor so at least wont be too rushy - you lot had better be in good form - Im being a right miserable cow today and have been a bit nasty to 2 people - need to get over it

Yeah okay, that'll be great!

What time is it and does anyone want a pint beforehand?

i want a pint and a lift if possible!

i've also cancelled a curry, but it's with work so no great loss

Meet Merlin 5.30 ?

Sold.

do you want a lift and will you remember it this time?

I also have Thursday afternoon off. I think you should come to the Merlin beforehand. With any luck, I may be drunk and buy you a drink.

yes please...........................and remember what ?

the lift...

what lift ?

the stairlift you were going to get

I'll meet you lot in The Merlin at 5.30 then.

And I nominate our team name to be the ace one that we thought up last time but not until we'd already submitted our name - 'Quiz Kamara'.

Top comeback Sir !

yep thats a defo for the team name!!

Si I have the afternoon off to do aerobics not sit in the Merlin ;)

Dont all turn up drunk and unable to answer questions purlease!!

would we ......................... ????

Just checked and they have veggie sausage and chips just for you.

Bennet is special

but sooo pretty

pretty special then

tee hee!  :girlgiggle:

It's the same time that we started drinking last time. oh, i see your point.

gayers - you had better be in some sort of fit state - Im not holding the team together with my superior knowledge of Christmas songs again

I have a feeling we won't be asked any questions about Christmas songs this time.

that didnt happen last time!!

booooooooooo then I have a feeling we may loose

Dicks team ALWAYS cheat anyways

Is Uncle Alan playing?

oh and Bore off DV  ;)

can i sit next to charlotte please?

Yes.

Oh, like that is it?

i want to sit between you two :)

I said hello to Charlotte tonight and she blanked me. Might have had something to do with her ear muffs.

but everything to do with you being ginge

 :cry:

 :D

How longs you boys staying in the merlin before the quiz?

I think ally's coming down on the train. Might swing our back to my house pub crawl via the merlin to say hello depending on what time he gets in.

We'll be there until 6.45, there or thereabouts.

OMG If I meet Ben I will do a bit of wee I think

Sorry AXS when did you see me? was it when I was frantically looking for milk with Fred? I apologise prefusly - its not cause your ginger I Promise - you can even ask Laura at work as we fancy the ginger man with the hairy back that always comes swimming on a Sunday!

I would like to sit between LS and Bennett also!! ;)

i can cope with that...

It was leaving the ground, you walked right past me with some tall chap.

no-one has ever described my boyfriend as tall??

ooooooooooowwwwwwwww Im in serious pain - Im hoping it wont affect my quizzage skilss too much - I accidently stood on my hair straightners this morning and they clamped round my foot leaving big burns down either side  :cry:

Bennett's being a big queer and wants to drop out, anyone up for taking his place at short notice?

what?? even though he sent me an abusive PM this morning?

what ?......sat next to JFW ?

No, his place on the team. I've already shot-gunned the seat next to Charlotte :D

what a gayer. He's scared.

Merlin for 5:30 then?

aiii.

Good luck team TEF...go you.

Boo, Bennett.

boo, bennett

I'm glad we agree.

there's nothing to disagree about, boo me

Bennett how dare you send me abusive PM's then not even turn up??? what is the meaning of this??

you are a massive gay

p.s thankyou for my pudding AXS xxxx

Coo-eee...

Ear wax problem?

Not any more.

Loving the beard Dan. Keep it up.

 :poofs:

thats not me, its Chris Blackburn

still not shaved? good lad

Is that a boy or a girl?

I cant tell

Hes MY gay leave him alone

I was slightly hungover this morning.

Have you picked a wife yet?

I was very hungover until a couple of hours ago. The last thing I remember was walking into town to get a cab and Crouchy being very ill on the way.

haha, not yet, no.

Me too. Only slightly though. Stopping on the way home to get a kebab certainly helped.

well I suggest you hurry along...... my friends are hot and dont stay single long! ;)

Hot slags then JFW?

Here's hoping.

Si Im not sure I like your new found rudeness

New found?

more rediscovered.

well anyway - I dont like it so much

HOT MEAT
HOT RATS, HOT ZITS, HOT CHEST
HOT RITZ, HOT ROOTS, HOT SOOTS

 Any other afficionadoes of The Captain and Zappa will recognise.

The interesting thing is JFW never denied it :)

Im just trying to be nice and help people find love and happyness and you make it rude!

Yeah..that's the trouble with the young generation, there's no place for kindness, tenderness and romance...everything is turned to filth....I blame Jonathan Ross.

That's what happens when you imply a girl has a lot of boyfriends.

At the same time?

I take it you lot didn't win then?

not quite.
