Last night we had our July social and went to The Plough in Heaton Moor for their weekly pub quiz. We’d triumphed back in April and were keen to see if that was/wasn't a fluke!
Seven of us were there (Daniel, Megan, Ally, Phil, Sue, Andy,
Lyn). Sue gallantly sat out the quiz because teams had to be of six or less to
be eligible for prizes.

Round 1 (Faces) wasn’t easy. We scored 28/40 (2 points per question) with Britney
Spears, a very young Robbie Williams, Madonna and Matt Goss among others to
elude us.
Round 2 (Pop Music) wasn’t easy either! We got 16/28 including 10/10 for naming all five of the UK’s
winning Eurovision Song Contest acts.
Round 3 (Sport) was better (18/24) and Round 4 (Last Week) was
good too (14/20).
Round 5 (General Knowledge) was best of all
(20/24).
At the end we didn’t think we’d done particularly well and definitely
not well enough to win. We ended up with 96 points - creditworthy but some way behind the
team whose answersheet we marked (106) and the winners (an excellent
118).
Here is a sample of questions from Rounds 2-4:
Who was the lead singer of Hot Chocolate?
Which country’s King Albert II abdicated
recently?
Ingrid Kristiansen held world records at which three
distances?
Who was the British Prime Minister at the outbreak of World
War Two?
At the halfway stage we spent part of our £25 April winnings
on a round of drinks.
Thanks to Sue and Phil for organising the evening.
