The Pub

After the The Quizmaster and The Barmaid here's The Pub where all the quizzing goes on.

Last night once again we managed a third place, although there were many recriminations afterwards where correct answers had been altered to incorrect ones. Here's the list of those we failed on:

1 The World's first full face transplant was undertaken in which country?
2 In which sport do South Africa compete against Australia for the Nelson Mandela Challenge Plate?
3 To within an inch, how tall are Oscar statuettes?
4 Which of the seven dwarfs has no beard?
5 According to which playwright, the seven ages of man begins with infancy, continues with the whining schoolboy, the lover, sighing like a furnace, the soldier, the justice, the slippered pantaloon and ends in mere oblivion?
6 Which group had a hit entitled 3AM Eternal?
7 Inventor of the ball point pen, of what nationality was Ladislao Biro?
8 Who is captain of England's cricket team at the 2010 World 20/20 Cup?
9 Which Fleetwood Mac song begins: "Now when the day goes to sleep and the full moon looks And the night is so black that the darkness cooks Don't you come creeping around making me do things I don't wanna do"?
10 Who wrote the Bridget Jones diaries?
11 Which 1995 film stars Sandra Bullock as a ticket seller on Chicago's elevated railway who pretends to be Peter Gallagher's fiancée after rescuing him from a mugger but then falls for his brother Bill Pullman?
12 Who was the lead singer with the group Bow Down Mister?

And now the plug for Andrew (who's good enough to email me the above so's I don't have to type them out:

The quiz is well & enjoyably run by Andrew and as his website says "If you're in London, Essex, Herts, Beds or Bucks - Want to hold a quiz event but can't find a quiz master? - Want a fun evening?" Then give him a call.

Today we took delivery of the bits of wood that hopefully come Tuesday the fitter will transform into our bedroom furniture - there should be a future blip there somewhere.
