I write technical stuff about pop & squash for a living.
Last quiz for a month 😢
We were leading after the 2nd round but the last round tripped us up. #QuizNight
Can't win them all & a pleasant night nonetheless.

Think 43 was probably a winning score. 🥳👍🏼🍺🎟️
#PubQuiz
Nowhere on the pictures.
Think I might have got the snowball right as well. 😉

Well 39 was not a winning score tonight & 4 was rubbish on the pictures. Oh well, We've still got quite a few 🍺🎟️ to spend, back next week. #PubQuiz

Back to the quiz. Reckon we've done OK but don't actually know what we scored! 🙃 #PubQuiz

I've taken down the Ender Dragon over the weekend.
Took a while, cost two totems of undying and an actual death. I hadn't died in game for some while previously. The Endermen did most of the damage to me I think. 1/2

For a change I know the final result. 40 was 3 points clear so 5x🍺🎟️! 👍🏼🥳
Joint winners on the pictures so no prize. #PubQuiz

Well 41 is definitely competitive, might well have won 🍺🎟️. Competitive on the pictures with 7 but we marked a team with 8. #PubQuiz

Only 5 teams tonight so 38.5 might have been enough for another win....
A pitiful 4.5 on the pictures so unlikely to get that pint. #PubQuiz

Well finally back to the pub quiz after a few weeks away for various reasons. I've left while Bob was still collecting other teams scores but I reckon 41½ was probably enough for the win! ☺️🎉🎊🍺🎟️
Admittedly a couple of other regular teams appear to be on holiday but a win is a win. 😉 #PubQuiz

So anyway, I've completed "Cover me in Debris" & "Serious Dedication" advancements. Getting down to level 17 in the Nether wasn't working. It seemed like there was a contiguous sea of Lava everywhere. In the end I used potions of fire resistance and swam to the bottom and built back up. #Minecraft

Had a lovely meal & stayed for the quiz. Should have had confidence in our 1st round answers as the last round was rubbish. Back in a couple of weeks. #PubQuiz

41 might well be enough to win for a 2nd week in a row. Though we definitely didn't win the pictures or puzzler this week. #PubQuiz
August 7, 2025 at 9:42 PM
Well 42 might just be the answer to what score did we need to win the quiz tonight.
It wasn't actually settled as I went to catch a bus but looking good... #PubQuiz

Definitely played our 🃏 on the wrong round! We got 37 in the end, could have been 40 just by playing it on the right round. Don't think we were in the 🍺🎟️ this week. #PubQuiz
July 24, 2025 at 9:48 PM
Well, fairly low scoring I think for all teams but 36⅔ was probably not enough for any 🍺🎟️. Back next week. #PubQuiz
July 10, 2025 at 9:46 PM
Well, as I left for the bus home it seems quite plausible that 40 was sufficient for some 🍺🎟️ to spend next week! 😉 #PubQuiz
July 3, 2025 at 9:46 PM
We were last after the 2nd round but a half decent last round got us up to 37 which was probably respectable but not in the prizes. Back next week. #PubQuiz
June 26, 2025 at 9:51 PM
Didn't win tonight, 38 was respectable but several points where we said the right answer but put something else #PubQuiz
June 19, 2025 at 9:47 PM
42 was the answer tonight. Won by 1 point! Good job it didn't go to the tie breaker though, we were 2 orders of magnitude out! 😂 #PubQuiz
June 12, 2025 at 9:46 PM
Not sure what score we got. Think we were competitive, but likely not 1st #PubQuiz
June 5, 2025 at 10:08 PM
38 wasn't a winning score tonight. I didn't have to stay for the totals to know that. Oh well, back in a fortnight. #PubQuiz
May 22, 2025 at 9:46 PM
Not actually sure what we scored tonight. Caught the bus home whittle the last set of answers were being read out. #PubQuiz
May 1, 2025 at 9:43 PM
Well 39 is probably 3rd this week though as usual I've left before the results. #PubQuiz

Imagine basing so much of your public identity on your adult conversion to Catholicism, only to be publicly dismissed by the actual Catholic hierarchy.

Well, I reckon 37.5 might well have been a winning score tonight! Had to leave while Bob was collecting the scores so not 100% sure. Amazingly we got 10/10 on the pictures & pretty close on the puzzler so might have a few 🍺🎟️ to spend next week 👍🏼😁 #PubQuiz
