Merry Quizmas - Darts & Deer & Doppelherz

From the north and well-deserved and much-needed holidays this as the last post of 2013 (well, almost).
It was a fantastic Quizmas party, I was well-chuffed to see so many long-missed faces again and the festive cheer and spirit (and spirits) - simply wonderful.
Thanks for all the lovely prezzies, and most of all, thanks for coming and playing and sharing festive fun & seasonal silliness. Can't wait for the next one.
Below the first few pictures, there will be more once I'm back from hols and have time (and maybe a new laptop). For now, raw points and a handful of pics, and Masiive thanks again to all for a fantastic 201 quiz year. I look forward to kicking off the new one with New Year's 2013 Review quiz and then CL Season 10. More contenders joining us on a regular basis to try and get DAQ's throne & trophy (Brainless & Let's Get Quizzical, at least). We shall see.

For now I'm wishing y'all happy holidays, whatever/whereever you are celebrating, and a very happy, joyful, peaceful, successful & ever so slightly silly 2014. May not all of your questions be answered (or mine) so that we'll often have to come together again :D
We'll meet again soon, or even sooner (remember to let me know if you want in for Sherlock on New Year's Day.. fb message or mail)

Ye Wilde Quizmas is almost upon us - the usual annual seasonal silliness, festive fun, drinks & games. And the odd question. Along with sweets, and treats, and Weihnachtslieder. Gonna be fun, freuma schon.

Next up - Wilde New Year's Quiz on 2 January. First one of the new year with loads of questions about what and who happened in 2013. Get reading Wiki. Or watch Menschen 2013 :D

And THEN it's time to kick off Champions League Season 10. WQ#120 on 9 January. Try and topple the Champions DAQ***. Looking forward to new teams joining the gang.

Oh, and information re. Sherlock Season 3 - in the fb group. It's GO!!!! NEW YEAR'S DAY 10pm.

Trongs & Songs, Scrabble, Seventies, & David Hasselhoff's .. thingie revealed - WQ#117

Better late than never but at the mo there is so much to do before Quizmas.. and Christmas. Anyroad - WQ#117 was sooo much fun (I know, Schivelbeiners, I keep saying that all the time. And more often than not it's true.)
I'm so glad we finally got David Hasselhoff's sex toy out of the way so now we need another 'excuse' in the picture round.
Here are last week's points, and a few pics. Lovely new teams, some of whom will return. Loooking forward to it.

BRAINLESS HAVE YOGI for WQ#120 (Champions League Season 10, Game 1) on Thursday 9 January 2014. We'll talk.

Playing for points - PotW

BTW - more points up for grabs (DAQ & Das Komitee already have 1). Prediction of the week: Swansea - Newcastle. KO is tonight at 8.45, you have until then. Send me the usual 2 predictions (result & score) for a potential 2 points tomorrow. 

The end is nigh

For those of you not on fb:

Just as an exception und aus gegebenem Anlaß - this is the book for the Jahreswechsel 2013/14, 4 weeks in advance, tomorrow not included (for CLS9 Final so far all previous teams minus Mostly Harmless still in).

In case some of you have missed it - CL SEASON 10 starts on 9 January 2014.
WQ117 is a special außer-der-Reihe ABSAG (Assorted BullShit And Games) round. Still not certain what topics (F1 probable, Newcastle possible, BYO possible... 70s or 90s party quizzes will have to wait till next year ;))
Wilde Quizmas is the usual Weihnachtsfeier with sweets & treats, fun, games and o/c a few questions and tunes. Reservation only, by 12 December at the latest. Just wegen der Planung
WQ119 is big 2013 re(ar)view quiz. Wiki the last 12 months or watch Menschen 2013. Or woteva ;)

And just for Team Brainless: Es ehrt euch daß ihr euch jetzt schon für das Champions League Finale Season 10 anmeldet (und alle Quizze dazwischen) aber Reservierungen werden maximal für 3 Wochen im voraus angenommen. Außer von Stammteams. Es ist in der Vergangenheit zu oft vorgekommen, daß neue Teams im Überschwang der Gefühle ganze Monate im voraus gebucht haben, und auch noch die guten Tische und dann nicht aufgetaucht sind. Bis wir sicher sein können, daß dies in eurem Fall nicht zutrifft, könnt ihr nur so weit buchen wie es die Reservierungs'tabelle' (aka THE BOOK) erlaubt. Auch das Personal im OW kann daran nichts ändern. Und falls ihr jetzt eure Reservierung überdenken wollt (die neue Staffel Champions League fängt wie gesagt erst am 9. Januar an) ruft bitte im Oscar Wilde an. Ansonsten freuen wir uns natürlich darauf, euch am 12. Dezember zu sehen und schauen mal wie es von da aus weiter geht.

So then, Queeps (Quiz peeps) - mark your calendars and book your tables. Fly my pretties, fly!!!!
