Innovation

We're working on installing a liquid propulsion system.

It's not helping us to win the quiz, but it's making being wiped out in the final round easier to bear:

Giving the others a chance

Obviously the fact that we know sweet F.A. about Halloween was a contributory factor:

7th August: 4th
8th August: 1st (Charity Quiz)
14th August: 3rd
21st August: 2nd
28th August: 1st
4th September: 2nd
11th September: 1st
18th September: 1st
2nd October: 2nd
9th October: 1st
16th October: 2nd (as a Bogillator)
23rd October: 1st
30th October: 4th

Even Stevens scooped the pot with a huge score, not far shy of 100:

Cathy Bown (Quiz Mistress), Tim Haddon, Helen Haddon, Denise Stevens, Natasha Tonks and Shirley-Sheila Dalton (CEO).

 

Ella and Bear (The Bearserkers) recorded their highest ever score to take 7th place.

Pick the bones out of that!

Chalk up another one:

7th August: 4th
8th August: 1st (Charity Quiz)
14th August: 3rd
21st August: 2nd
28th August: 1st
4th September: 2nd
11th September: 1st
18th September: 1st
2nd October: 2nd
9th October: 1st
16th October: 2nd (as a Bogillator)
23rd October: 1st

Who needs Halloween?

Posted by on October 17th 2018 in Just for fun, Pub Quiz

Possibly the spookiest evening of my life - it turns out that Claire, my partner in our makeshift team and a member of one of the teams that we've been vying with on an almost weekly basis for a couple of years, was one of the visitors who chatted with me in the TV room during my first days at LRI way back in December 2015. Her Father-in-Law was in the same ward at the same time. If the Quiz Mistress hadn't thrown us together, we'd never have known. What are the chances?

We've got a lot to talk about next week - there wasn't enough time this evening.

Anyway, seeing as you asked... Second.

  • 7th August: 4th
  • 8th August: 1st (Charity Quiz)
  • 14th August: 3rd
  • 21st August: 2nd
  • 28th August: 1st
  • 4th September: 2nd
  • 11th September: 1st
  • 18th September: 1st
  • 25th September: Quiz cancelled
  • 2nd October: 2nd
  • 9th October: 1st
  • 16th October: 2nd (as a Bogillator)

No picture this week. I can sense your relief from here!

It’s getting silly now

Don't ask me how it happened, I wasn't paying attention:

  • 7th August: 4th
  • 8th August: 1st (Charity Quiz)
  • 14th August: 3rd
  • 21st August: 2nd
  • 28th August: 1st
  • 4th September: 2nd
  • 11th September: 1st
  • 18th September: 1st
  • 25th September: Quiz cancelled
  • 2nd October: 2nd
  • 9th October: 1st

Next week should be interesting - due to prior commitments, our team will be down to one member and so will our rival team. Cathy Quiz-Mistress (Winner of Britain's Got Empty Prosecco Bottles) says that we leftovers should join forces. It's looking quite likely that, for one night only, The Bog Wardens and The Vacillators could well be merged as... The Bogillators! It could be a strange evening.

That's the good news.

The bad news for you lot is that they've gone back to their policy of taking pics of the winners:

The run continues…

I'm somewhat embarrassed to report that we did it again. It was even more unexpected than The Spanish Inquisition!

  • 7th August: 4th
  • 8th August: 1st (Charity Quiz)
  • 14th August: 3rd
  • 21st August: 2nd
  • 28th August: 1st
  • 4th September: 2nd
  • 11th September: 1st
  • 18th September: 1st

I got hold of those nerdy stats (thanks, Claire). Stand by for a nerdy chart.
