Pub Quiz at The Plough, Heaton Moor - 15th April 2013


Six of us went to The Plough in Heaton Moor last night for their weekly pub quiz.  Before the contest we gave our brains a boost by having supper: chilli con carne, pizza, burgers or salads. The hot chilli peppers on Andy’s pizza almost did for him!

The first round of the quiz (Faces) was hard.  Would any of you recognise Quentin Fortune, Alan Dale or Ivan the Terrible?  Rounds 2-5 (Pop Music, Sport, Last week, Geography) were much more to our liking.  Questions included:

Who had a 1990s hit with “You’re All That Matters To Me”?
Which two teams contested the 1978 World Cup Final?
Which banker has recently asked to return his knighthood?
There are 296 steps to the top of which Italian landmark?

After all the marks were in we were told we had tied for first place with 94 out of 120 (thanks it must be said to a generous marker)!  Megan soon found we had been undermarked (not getting full marks in the Faces round for Earl Spencer (Princess Diana’s brother)) so that meant we won the first prize of £25 of pub vouchers.  Congratulations MNTV!
