Ye Wilde Quickie

Just a quick note to let you know who won, lost, and ended up in the middle of the table last week.
BTW - thanks to (almost) all for a great night, hadn't expected such a large crowd and so much fun :D
Here are points/Champions League table. Photos will have to wait a while.
At the moment it looks as if we will have a quiz next week (Thursday 29 August), and even the Champions League Season 8 Finale!! If your name is in the book - good. If it's not and you want in - phone Oscar Wilde. If you're in and can't come - phone Oscar Wilde.
Yogi right goes to The Beards AND The Cunning Stunts. Each team can send me 3 suggestions for topics by mail, by 9pm Monday 26 August at the very latest. If you have questions, send me a mail too.
If anything changes you'll find out here.
Have a love quiz-free 10 days, see (some of) you soon.

Nach dem Quiz ist vor dem Quiz

No pics yet of last week's entertaining night, but at least points and new book. I have private matters to deal with at the moment so we will go along with WQ#102 despite having only 4 teams in the book. However, there is NO QUIZ on 22 August and whatever happens after tomorrow is pretty much open at the moment.
I do look forward to welcoming the trusty teams DAQ, Graces, Cannonballs and JM2D for what migth be the last one of the summer. Whoever else feels compelled to join us, do be there on time. A heads-up would be appreciated so that I know how many teams we'll be dealing with.

Rubber rabbits, fantastic food, paper planes & century celebrations

So, that was IT then. 100 Quizzes (well, a few more but who counts) and look how many 'oldtimers' turned up to celebrate Ye Wilde One Hundred. Although the planning phase was a bit rough in patches, and the night started slightly chaotic, all turned out for the best. At least in my book :D
Massive thanks to all who made it, despite holidays, hot weather and other commitments. Extra special thanks to Franziska (without whom we might not have been able to twist rabbits' ears), Just Met Today's lads (without whom you would have had to eat half of your food cold) and of course super special thanks to Eoin (who not only juggled sausages, steaks & hot potatoes but benches too, and cleaned up our mess in the end), Jens (who was leider locked away in the kitchen but helped us LOADS with preparations and contributed super lecker minty Tzatziki and the lovely marinated veggies I never got to try). And last but definitely not least HUGE round of applause to Gemma & Rebecca who kept us all nicely watered throughout the night and not once lost the Überblick.
Much fun was had by all (as some of the pics below show) and Just Met Today proved not only very hilfsbereit but also brainy and brawny, winning not only the paper plane precision flight round (we shall do that again soon ;)) but the whole Century Quiz. RESPECT!























Below a few pics (I have some 150 more but no time to shop/post them).. more in the FB group courtesy of Franziska. If you have any nice ones you took on the night - do send or post. PrettyPlease.
This weeks sees the return of the Champions League Season 8. Only 3 games left and it looks increasingly as if DAQ will be owners (temporarily) of the new trophy. So far we only have 4 teams (and two maybes) in the book so watch this space, WQ#101 might still get cancelled. Gehirnzellenmassaker have until tonight to send me their 3 Yogi suggestions.













That's it for now, see you Thursday or some other day.
Oh, and if you want to start Thursday with 2 points - predict the outcome of tomorrow's Mike Ashley Clubs Clash (Rangers F.C. - Newcastle Utd.). 1 point for correct result (win/draw/lose), 1 point for correct score. Game starts Tuesday 8.45 CET at Ibrox. Mail/Message/Comment here. BY TUESDAY 8pm.
