Wrasslin Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 When pub quizzes get their answers wrong. "What is the maximum break in snooker" Quizmasters answer: 147. All the idiots in the quiz cheer. Actual answer: 155 due to the possibility of the free ball rule being in effect on the first shot allowing the player to nominate a colour as an extra 'red' essentially creating the possibility of 16 reds and blacks and therefore One Five Fucking Five. Did the quiz master listen? Did he fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Houchen Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I feel your pain, Wrasslin. I've actually been evicted from quizzes because I've kicked off after they give the wrong answer. Mind you that says more about me being a prick than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted January 21, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 21, 2017 Turned into a running joke at my dads old local. The quiz came from the brewery, no problems there, but the landlord set the weekly bonus question with a rollover jackpot going up by a tenner a week. The question one week was "name the state capital of Mississippi," but instead of Jackson the landlord insisted it was Jacksdale (tiny village on the Notts/Derbyshire border). Each week after that for months, the only answer anyone gave to the bonus question was Jacksdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the quiz master listen? Did he fuck. Politely inform him of the Alphonso Bonzo rule, whereby it's explained in great detail about maximum breaks in snooker. I used to love pub quizzes, but after descending on a bar where they have a league table and people look for question patterns and gawd knows what else in order to 'win' the quiz it kinda takes the fun out of it .All that because one of the teams once went on Master Team and got utterly annihilated, the backward arse yokel pillocks. What happened to the yeah it's a laugh, will have a buffet and then Open the Box, Play your cards right or something similar things? One of the rounds at this quiz was a music rounds with B sides of obscure 1950's and 1960's bands that charted between 75-100 in the chart or similar. To the surprise of no-one, the average round score was 0.. so so wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Yeah, you've got to know where to pitch the questions. I once got abused by an ex work colleague because of a question about how many gold medals team GB won on Super Saturday 2012. The amount of medals, not just the events. So rowing team of 4 counts as 4 medals, not 1. It got embarrassing, and he continued to email me articles and links throughout the week. Let it go mate.

Keith Houchen Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I'm with him on that one, unless you specified clearly the amount of actual medals, because it counted as one in the medals table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Houchen Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Proper quizzing! I do cringe at the quiz episode of The Office because the similarity between myself and Finchy is too close to home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Accident Prone Posted January 21, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 21, 2017 Teabags in the sink when I'm cleaning it. What the fuck is that about? Butter over the remote control. All things that are the bane of my life. I don't want to be digging up old posts for the sake of it, but I had to point out that this has had me creasing for the past 45 minutes. Everytime I think I'm over it, "butter over the remote control" pops into my head and I lose it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Justice Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 One of my biggest fears when I had my kids was that they'd come out looking like Iain Dowie. Fortunately they're all as cute as hell, which frankly raises suspicions. And personalities to match. I love the quotes you post from your youngsters on twitter. Always raises a chuckle.
