Quiz at the Rising Sun, Nethergreen

[pdbmn]

oh well at least it seems no one who goes there or works there looks on here, i'm not commenting on the quiz itself e.g. the questions or if some annoying people cheat, i'm just pointing out the ridiculously poor way it's run

I find that unless you are taking part in a pub quiz, it spoils a night out. On various evenings out with a pal, when we would natter and catch up, the atmosphere is spoiled by microphoned quizzes that stop any conversation.

 

I totally agree. I had the misfortune to meet someone for a pint at the RS a while back without realising it was quiz night. Oh dear! It went on for what seemed like hours. A table of aging dullards nearby was a reminder of what might happen if your life really goes wrong. Two hours and they drank about a pint and a half between the 6 of them. When the free sarnies came out they were like gulls at the seaside.

oh dear! that might describe us.. the 'dullards' ??!! mind you some of them had more than a pint during that time (each) and i didn't touch the sarnies, got bad stomach ache from them once so never again

 

as for me anyway, i Do like doing the quiz but it would be nice if they had someone who could read, and get through a sentence without a hitch, then it wouldn't go on too long

An idea!

 

Why don't they do a "reverse quiz" at the Rising Sun, where the punters write down an answer and give it to the "Quiz Masters" to see if they can guess the question (and pronounce it correctly!).

 

The table who catches the Quiz Master out most would be the winner!

 

(Probably be a draw between all participating tables though I guess?)
