BoBama, bonobos, beer, and a BIT too loud - WQ #123 (not to forget American Handegg)

Quickly, before I head off into the weeken - last night's points & new CL table. Getting interesting.
Congrats to CannonballZ for the long-awaited and much-deserved victory, and thanks to those how had, and were, fun last night. Discipline/noise seems to be an issue so we'll work out new rules (or blacklists ;))
Brainless have Yogi (again ;)) - you have till Monday 5pm, ausnahmsweise.

























DON'T forget prediction of the week: 2 points wait for you if you predict winners of Newcastle - Sunderland derby - or a draw - (send by Saturday 1.45 pm) and the Superbowl (send by ... whenever it kicks off). ONLY the winning teams, NOT the score. mail or comment here or on fb..
Phone Oscar's if you want in next week, book looked like below last night. Might be more in the meantime, I have no Überblick.
And now nothing left to do but wish you a lovely weekend, and head off into mine.
ta-ra.

Battle of the birds - Prediction of the week / Book for WQ#123

almost forgot... prediction of the week (I mentioned it last Thursday but no one normally listens at the end of the night ;))
Predict the score / result of tonight's Premier League match between (former Toon manager Chris Hughton's) Norwich City and Newcastle 'Sans Yohan' United. Send me your predictions by mail, or leave a message here or on fb. 2 points are up for grabs. You have until tonight 8.45 pm.

















Also - this is the current book for Thursday (as far as I know). Only 1 table left (maybe 2 - Back Street Boys, please let me/Oscar Wilde know if you intend to attend ;)).. if you want in, phone Oscar's. If you want put - we always get late requests on Wednesday and Thursday so if you have a table and can't come - PLEASE phone and cancel. If you just don't turn up (Katharina / Suzan?) you deny other teams the chance to get in. An pee us off.


















Anyroad, looking forward to WQ#123 on Thursday, and the lovely Yogi round picked by Brainless :D

Full House

WQ #122 on 23 January is now officially BOOKED OUT (well, there might be 1 table left).
If you don't have a table yet - phone Oscar Wilde in the afternoon. There are (almost) always teams who decide to cancel last minute. Or maybe you want to chance it and swing by in the evening...

If you do have a table and cannot attend - please phone Oscar Wilde to cancel. ASAP.
We do not look kindly upon teams who reserve and don't show. Others are waiting for a table.

If you were unlucky -  do try again. There are 6 tables left for next week ;)

And please try and be on time tomorrow, full house means we need more time, and have to start on time. Ish. :D

Musical madness, Russian Roulette & The Sign of Three - WQ #121

Quickly, before we kick off WQ#122 tomorrow - points & pics of last week's mystery mayhem. The combined power of Fietscherings makes for an interesting turn and at the moment there are 4 teams who seem to be serious about winning that title. It was a very challenging, and largely fun, night and it was nice to see some new faces who - despite not getting maximum points - appeared to enjoy the show. And even chose to return, in the hope of bettering their scores. Or just having a laugh and some drinkies.
That said, some teams seem to neither like our rules, nor agree with the questions or take the Wilde quiz for what is is - 3 hours (give or take) of entertainment and assorted BS. I'm certain you can find other forms of Freizeitgestaltung on Thursday nights instead of moaning and bickering for 3 hours. Berlin ist ja groß. And we need the tables for girls (and girls' nite out) who just wanna have fun. So do yourselves, and us, a favour and play somewhere else on Thursday nights.
Now then, this is what the CL table looks like after 2 weeks. All still VERY much open, and I'm already curious to see who gets the bottle tomorrow.

And so it begins again... Ye Wilde Quiz Champions League season 10

After the seasonal silliness of the last weeks it's getting 'serious' again. The 10th season kicked off nicely, with some nice new teams, a visit from Bernd & his Brötchen (so lovely to hae you back), a new quiz cow dog and a first second place for Quizzicals. Congrats, well done, but that had been in the cards for a while, hadn't it. I guess now it's only a matter of time that you'll get your first first? Previous & reigning champions, aufgepaßt! ;)
Anyroad, points & pics and the book for the next 3 weeks. 
Bernd & Die Brötchen have Yogi right (bis Montag nachmittag).
You can start with 2 points for the correct prediction (score and result) of the Newcastle - ManCiteh game. By Sunday 3pm at the latest. You know how/where.
Have a nice one, see you Thursday for WQ#121 (or Sherlock 3x03)
