pub quiz spoils

we came in second place last night, an while it is not on par with our former glory as pub quiz champions of the clockhouse and recipients of £72 split five ways after purchasing a round of drinks we did get a bottle of wine.

this was more than earned as the quiz master was a sort of spotty RPG type who kept making lame jokes and listening in on our conversations. i think he liked our little international team more than we could ever like him. we missed jez, the nromal ginger quizmaster, terribly and are eagerly anticipating his return in two weeks time.

i successfully knew that krakow is the second most populated city in poland (remembered because my coworker from gdansk says there are more vegetarian options in krakow than gdansk) and that the most expensive property on the american monopoly is boardwalk (although we had to fight the RPG dude for it because he swore it was broadway, which is wrong on so many levels! jeremy finally had to rin back to the flat, just a few doors away to take a photo on the digital camera to prove that all my yelling and protesting was not in vain.) if only we could have remembered what a mickey finn was or known what the city of geneva looks like based on a grainy photograph photocopied and veiwed in poor pub lighting.

it was fun though, i like that the pub quiz helps me get all my copetitiveness out of my system for the week. it makes me a mellower person for every other day of the week, and that's a good thing for everyone who has to be around me.
