East End Pub Quiz! Monday 29 June at E1 0LA!

yes. for next time stella put an obscure communards song on the intro round.

I go with the principle what the songs have to have done OK in the UK charts to be included in the quiz. Otherwise I could easily fill the intros round with a load of obscure nonsense that *I* like and no one would get any right, diminishing that enormous sense of satisfaction you all experience at my hand. That wot is my raison d'etre, if you will.

I could put a very successful Communards song in next time, if you want? Wait no, I won't bother. I'll just do it now.

Name the song and the artist:

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaah aaah aaaahaaah

[Nanker Phelge]

Topical!

Thank you all for coming and congratulations! You may've been very clever but you were also very obnoxious and everyone else hated you

I don't feel very well now

I wasn't obnoxious...for a change.

 

[5t3IIa]

I wasn't obnoxious...for a change.

And if you were you got drowned out by your ridiculous team-mates

You're awfully clever Nanker

 

[marty21]

And if you were you got drowned out by your ridiculous team-mates

we go out of our way to come to the pub (apart from C66 who is local) some team members came all the way from that South London too, and *this* is the thanks we get?

 

[5t3IIa]

Oh shit

 

[Nanker Phelge]

we go out of our way to come to the pub (apart from C66 who is local) some team members came all the way from that South London too, and *this* is the thanks we get?

..and went all the way back to south london

 

[marty21]

..and went all the way back to south london

i know! but at least you got called clever, I was called ridiculous

 

[5t3IIa]

Oh, you know I didn't mean it like that. Don't make me apologise! You won't like me when I apologise

 

[marty21]

 

[5t3IIa]

I'm sorry YOU WANKER!

 

[Nanker Phelge]

i know! but at least you got called clever, I was called ridiculous

She meant ridiculously clever

 

[Pickman's model]

Oh

Out of 60-ish available points the teams got:

1. Team Pen15 - 55.5
2. Team Fo Shizzle My Quizzle - 47
3. Team James Bond Does My Laundry - 46.5
4. Team Phil Will Be Beaten (Phil was in Team James Bond...) - 37.5

I reckon those are quite a respectable scores...

right. so how many questions is it?

& do you have a prize for best team name? eg, after an event you can guess, lock up your daughters

1. 60-ish. Is that important?

2. No

 

[Citizen66]

Nanker would have won on his own tbf.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Nanker would have won on his own tbf.

That's not true.

I wouldn't have got the Michael Jackson songs, or half of the general knowledge questions we got right as a team.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

I miss that winning feeling. The high just doesn't last.
