“Pound a minute for your thoughts” came a point off third in the pub quiz at the Basement Bar last night. Yet again the music round was our Achilles’ heel.
But it was still an impressive performance given that our combined general knowledge (such as knowing that the Amazon is the largest rainforest in the world) and complete guesswork (we guessed that William Bonney was better known as Billy the Kid) was the result of only two of our squad being able to make it. So a valiant effort by an understrength side.
One day we’ll win. One day…
You’ll be pleased to hear I won a pub quiz in Mauritania – seven bottles of wine, several cans of lager, and tons of crisps. Varwell, without checking the internet, what year was the TV invented?
Good question. I’d estimate 1900. Give or take a few years. Although I guess it depends on your definition of TV.
1900! Varwell, you’re meant to be the veteran of two national finals. I’d expect that kind of answer from a Renault girl.
You need Miss Tulip on your team, who is an expert at music rounds with a fairly encyclopaedic knowledge. (question 1. Spell encyclopaedic)
