Pub quiz triumph

March 21st, 2007 mikeb

We started attending the Tuesday night pub quiz at the Reliance a while back, and won a few bar tabs and jackpots. Most weeks someone-or-other has something on and can’t come along, and we end up either half-strength or giving it a miss; so, we’ve struggled to continue our winning ways, even to the low point of coming last by about ten points (the night it was just TonyG and I and all the questions were about, well, not New Zealand).

Last night, however, it all came together, and with Alexis helping out, the Gerontocratic Republic of Stu’s Heroes skipped home to victory — not only first place, but the jackpot as well.

It’s fairly certain that we’ll be there next week.

    Glad to see LShift isn’t developing a pub culture!

    You’re right: we’re re-using an existing one. We do succumb to NIH more often than we might, but in this instance we’ve managed to avoid it!

    David from Lateral here.

    I think we’d need a team of at least 4 techies and some people from Lateral, but the more support the merrier! Get in touch.
