If one is to take part in a pub quiz, as we did at the Black Swan in Abingdon, you should always remember to have a full team and to have a team that consists of enthusiastic members. Such not, was our team, which consisted of 2.1 members, Billy being the 0.1 member answering one of the questions correctly despite his total lack of enthusiasm. In one of the rounds which consisted of identification of parts of people’s faces Phil scored almost maximum points, if the picture round consisted of bums, boobs and legs, Billy would have probably achieved gold status. As it was, we came almost an honest last. And why honest? You may well ask. When we looked around the pub, a couple of teams had team members using their mobile phones, were they phoning a friend? NO,trying to chat to an old maiden aunt ? NO, trying to give a donation to a charitable institution over the phone? NO, just plain old cheating using their mobile’s internet browser capabilities to search for the answers .Oh and speaking of cheating, we did use the pubs electricity supply to charge our own mobile phones without getting permission from the landlord in triplicate in case we were challenged by members of the pub Gestapo. The next time we play in a pub quiz, we will have a full complement of four team members, all wi-fied up to their “quiz companions with their bank of laptops” who are secreted in the windowless van outside in the car park.
