General Knowledge Quiz Night

[nocoat]

155. Two fouls then a maximum clearance. Might be wrong but if you foul three times in a row game over..I'm probably well wrong there

It is not two fouls for the 155 break I don't think. It is just one foul, then you use the "Free Ball" to pot a fake red then the black, then begin the `usual` 147 clear up.

As I think we have established this will lead to a 155 break but a score of 159 or 160-162 :computer:

If you cannot find any takers I'm sure there will be people there on the night who will join your team.

Still no word from Claire about a team, despite her promise to arrange one, and the Brewery Tappers are noticeable by their absence!!

As an added incentive, one of the following rounds will definitely be included in the Quiz. So get your team together and come along and find out which.

1) Identify that real ales by tasting.
2) Feel the Page 3 star (captains only round)
3) Identify the Mercury Prize winners as they sing live on stage.
4)General knowledge.(Questions read by me)

See you in a week.

Good man!

 

[Banshee Mildew]

The "Chit Chat 4" are looking forward to a hard fought contest. Our newest team recruit has been spending his recent days with his head buried in Wikpedia, our "professional gambling" Captain now knows every single winner of every English classic horse race dating back to 1937 and, Banana has been brushing up on his Red Wine knowledge.

 

[Banana]

Banana has been brushing up on his Red Wine knowledge.

 

[Rod Gowers]

See everyone at 7.30 tomorrow for an eight o'clock start.

Q1: Who won the Epsom Derby in 1936
Q2: What type of wine is contained in a yellow wine gum.

 

[Edmundo]

Q1 - Mahmoud.

 

[The H]

Q2 - Is it Champagne?

Should be www.beessearch.co.uk .....

I appreciate the efforts, but compared to the google facilities in Firefox, that's just a pain in the backside.

Fair enough - just thought I would say!

 

[Bee H]

f****ing BT, what a bunch of complete morons !

will almost certainly have a team (providing we can baggsy a table next to the Bar) but will be back nearer the time

apologies Rod but due to BT causing me severe bouts of Tourettes :mad1: due to plain incompetence and further delaying our long drawn out office move, gonna have to cry off

have a good evening all

 

[Banshee Mildew]

H...don't forget to bring your secret supply of Joker cards. :yes:

 

[nocoat]

Have a good night tonight lads :beer: :beer: :beer:





:sad:

 

[Banshee Mildew]

Cheers ol' nappymeister!

 

[nocoat]

:love2: Next time I can be the poo expert of the team

 

[The H]

Rod

Team Chippendale is out. its only me left.

Sorry

 

[Banana]

Rod

Team Chippendale is out. its only me left.

Sorry

I'm sure if you attended a team could be found for you...... besides I owe you a pint I think

 

[northantsbee]

Rod

Team Chippendale is out. its only me left.

Sorry

I have lost a couple out of my two teams so if you want to join one of those i am sure you would be most welcome

 

[The H]

i'll be in the PR at about 6.40 or shall i make it the Griffin

 

[nocoat]

:yuck: That is ****ing below the belt even for you mate

 

[The H]

it's not general knowledge, but waterproofs bought from the club shop aren't waterproof....

 

[Edmundo]

Well done to rugrat and company. A finer group to represent Brentford would be harder to find. That they won because of a couple of wild guesses on the last round is neither here nor there. The Chit Chat 4 were well out of contention!

 

[stedders]

Many thanks to Rod (and family) for all the hard work

 

[SCBee]

My thanks to the Hairy Moles for taking pity on me standing alone at the bar

Well done to the winners, only 4 points ahead of us at the end

 

[FarnhamBee]

The Victorious Rugrats:

 

[nocoat]

Well done guys

See :banana: tried anything to get into the winners shot...

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Some might say that it's the closest the Chit Chat 4 got to the winners all night.

 

[northantsbee]

My team lived up to its name of really useless, finishing rock bottom! Very nice scrubbing brushes were however awarded as prizes

Thanks to Rod and his family for organising and running the event and to everyone for entering, in excess of £300 was raised for BU.

I think i need to find new teamates for the next one

Suit yourself!

I would say this though - if I wasn't overruled on a couple of my answers the lovely brushes would have gone elsewhere!

Thanks again to Rod and his family

Well done to rugrat and company. A finer group to represent Brentford would be harder to find.

Would like to endorse Ed's comments 100%.

Thanks to everyone who turned up on the night.

It's because you lot turn up and make the evenings so enjoyable that we carry on.

See you all in the New Year.

Rod

Top man Rod. Many thanks to you and your familia for organising it. But please next time more questions about Gus Hurdle and schedule it on a night when I don't have a ticket for Spurs

 

[Edmundo]

:bittersmilie: :thumbs:

Not in the least - as we were well beaten anyway!

 

[wibs]

How many shots needed for a player to win a conventional set of tennis?

 

[Rugrat]

Well done to rugrat and company. A finer group to represent Brentford would be harder to find.

Crumbs are you sure you are talking about the right team?!

Not sure about our dodgy team photo FB! Your camera's rubbish

Many thanks to Rod and co for an amusing night out, I still can't believe we won! lol

 

[Scratchy]

My mum will appreciate the wine

I knew posing for photos was never one of my strong points. Thanks for organising it Mr Gowers.It was fun.

 

[chippendale]

I'm sure if you attended a team could be found for you...... besides I owe you a pint I think

If the first meeting was ok, then you owe me a pint. I'll be at the Bristol match before going back to OZ.
