The Poptimism Pub Quiz

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Thankyou to everyone who came! Good to see you all!

It was a qualified roaring success (most of the roaring being over the Arctic Monkeys knickers). The qualifier being that yes, I admit I pitched it a bit too hard*. If/when we do another we'll keep most of the fun rounds but the standard questions / bits and pieces etc. will be a lot easier. I think I was overestimating the degree of popnerdiness I was dealing with.

That said it's easier to adjust the difficulty level than it is to have interesting quiz ideas, and I think we had a lot of interesting ideas, so well done us.

A GRAPH will no doubt follow of the teams' progress through the hellish obstacle course that is recognising Thunderbugs intros and Dubstar album tracks.

Also the full horror of the family fortunes rounds will be posted later too.

*I've forgotten what was going to go under this asterisk.**

**Actualy I probably meant 'a lot too hard'.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-rotic#Singles = E-Rotic singles discography, MUST FIND ALL THESE TRACKS (or not, the one I do have - "Fred Come To Bed" - is appalling)

Hope this works

The GRAPH.



Note well:

- "Nintendogs were Barking" - easily the best team name.
- Spectacular decline and downfall of "When Wakes The Were-World", who were looking to walk it after round 2.
- Yes, the Kaiser Cheats score did actually go DOWN during one round.
- "Pig Five" and "Get Off Your Shirt" steadily coming through the pack to fight it out for victory.

Good Singers
