Wilde & Oirish(ish) - WQ#177 roundup

Because today is Paddy's Day proper, and because PD Quiz was soooo much fun (thanks all!!!) - the points & a few pics. Rest of the pics in the fb group, takes too long to post them all here again.
Graces won the quiz, and Ballz won the pitcher round in 3:12min!!!
Also - massive thanks again to 2 Graces for helping hands & brains & feet in preparation of WQ#177 - without you I would have started drinking a lot earlier ;)

We have 1 table left for WQ#175 (UPDATE: we now have 6 tables left for WQ#176). If you still want in, phone Oscar's today (after 4pm). If you leave it till late, slim to no chance of getting in.

If you do have a table and can't make it - PLEASE phone Oscar's and cancel. There's always a queue...

If you have a table you can look forward to a fun quiz on Thursday, I have nice rounds in the works ;)

Last but not least - Paddy's Day Green Wilde & Go! All-Ireland Quiz is reservation only. Deadline is Sunday 8 March.

Miss Ireland, Mah Nà Mah Nà, and the Man with the golden Gun - Ye Wilde Paddy's Day Party (quiz)

What a lovely night of great green fun, and mystery drinks, and mingling. We should - and will - do that more often :D (do send your ideas or 'requests'.. :D)

For now just basic points & new book, no computer 'work' for a while as per doctor's orders. I will try to post a few of last night's pics that don't need processing/editing later - you have to see some of those faces during the pitcher round :D

Next week all back to 'normal' we still have 5 tables. Matryoshka have Yogi but no reservation yet so I don't know if they're coming at all. If I don't hear anything from them by Sunday 9pm - I CHOOSE all 3 :P (sorry Brainless, once in a while..)

Prediction of the week - Fulham - Newcastle. Tomorrow (Sat) 4pm. Send your predictions for score/result :D

That's all she wrote for this week - have a good one, see you next Thursday (or on Paddy's (Sun)Day...

Heads up! Wotsapp next/soon?

looking into the future (without even breaking(out) my little crystal ball) - here are some of the things that are going to happen (WQ-wise) no matter what.

WQ127 - 1 round about Oscars (because it's THE Oscars Sunday after)
WQ128 - 1 round famous females (because it's FRAUENTAG 2 days after)
WQ129 (13/03) - it's green. it's white. it's gold. it HAS to (have to) do with alcohol. it's the annual Paddy's Day Quiz. all Irish, all fun, and games. and more drinks than ever.
WQ134 (17/04) - it's the annual Wilde Easter Eggstravaganza. y'kna - eggs, chicks, bunnies, choccie, fun & games.

...just so's you know... get ready. and get your table in time.

Leftover limerick & prediction points

Sooooo. In time for the Eggstra Special Easter Quiz - bonus points earned at Paddy's Day Quiz for Limericks and Newcastle score predictions. Of course only for the teams who turn up tomorrow ;)

Newcastle Europa League Last 16 Round against ФК "Анжи" Махачкала predictions - 1 point each for Bedebow, DAQ and Cannonballs (result correct but score wrong)

PD Limericks - the panel of judges (that being Gemma, Cliona, Noel, Becca & La MerryKwizMiz) awarded the following places/points, based on rhyme, rythm, reason, included words and overall Paddy'sDayLimerickiness.

Winner (4 points) BEDEBOW!!

Vorfreude

Wie schön ist's zusammenzukommen

Mit viel Bier & weiteren Wonnen

In green, like a Leprechaun child

Here tonight at the Oscar Wilde

Wird besoffen St. Paddy's Day begonnen.

Second Place (3 points) DAQ

On Paddy's Day I was drunken on beer

So on my way home I drove into a deer.

Some guys in green came,

now I'm in jail, what a shame!

Next 5 nights I'll be staying here.

Third Place (would have been 2 points, theoretically) Die 3 ???

Dicht gemacht am Paddy's Day

Aufgewacht am 1st of May.

Die grüne Hose stand noch offen

Gute Nacht - war ich besoffen.

Geh mir wech mit Bier - ey!

Fourth place (1 point) Cannonballs

An Paddy's Day hab ich Frank getroffen

Wir tranken viel Bier und waren besoffen.

In der Nacht gab's viel Lärm und Geschrei

Und morgens um 3 kann ne grüne Minna vorbei

Die Bettelei nach Restalkohol macht uns betroffen.

Hors de competition, handed in long after the final whistle - Tayto

As Paddy's Day turned into night

And I'd drunken every beer in sight

My liver turned green

As I puked up my spleen

And my abdomen turned into shite.

So in a nutshell - Easter Eggstravaganza starts with 5 points for Bedebow, 4 points for DAQ and 3 points for Cannonballs. 

Grüner wird's nicht - Ye Wilde Paddy's Day Quiz 2013

Right then, pics and points of what turned out to be a super fun night (and a memorable one if you are a Newcastle fan) despite (or because of) the relatively small number of teams. Image it had been packed.. ;)
Winners Tayto had the distinct advantage of being Irish so no shame for the others ;) and well done Cannonball(s) who won the Pitcher Game.
The Limerick contest winner has been chosen by the Panel of Four (Gemma, Cliona, Noel & MerryKwizMiz) and will be announced in a separate post, along with all the other limericks (like, all 5 ;)
Likewise - all 5 teams who handed in their predictions for the Newcastle game got the victory right (if not the result) and start the Easter Quiz with 2 points (that being O'DAQ, Cannonballs, ???, Bedebow and Buddybrand).
All 27 pictures are up here (and will be in the gallery on Photobucket as soon as I have the time) for now only 'best of'. I have some 20 more but they too will have to wait.
BOOK: I need the reservations for Easter Eggstravaganza by Thursday 21 March at the very latest in order to plan the next special madness edition properly.
Yogi right for WQ#83 on 21 March - Danny Crane. Denkt dran, Sonntag 21.00 Uhr ist Einsendeschluß!!
That said - have a great sunny weekend, see you at the St Patrick's Day Parade on Sunday or one of the next Thursdays :D
Oh, and... QUARTER FINALS!!! Bring on the Portugeezers!!!!

Go green - go Wilde!!!!!!

Did that, went there.. got the Guinness t-shirt (well, I actually I brought it with me but...)

First of all - THANKS A LOT to the 11 teams who made it a fun night (and apparently had one too :).. we should do games rounds more often :P (especially now that taking evidence photos is so much easier :)...
Apologies for running it a bit late ;).. next time we have extra rounds I'll time it better ...

Anyroad - points and first pics here (blogger is peeing me off and will only let me upload one at a time so....go and download all 40 .. there are waaaayy more to come :).. and welcome back LEPRECHAUNS :)

Last but not least - THE BOOK. For the rest of Season 3 (and Easter Eggstravaganza.. which IS HAPPENING.. on Thursday 5 April.)
If you're not on the list you don't have a table yet...phone 030/2828166 to reserve. Only 2 tables left for #34. If your name is on the list but shouldn't be... let me know ('twas a tad hectic last night).. Cancellations through Oscar's.

And that was that for the week - thanks again for all the fun (and Irish dance & song :P) and cake :D ... see you soon. Till then - enjoy the first weekend of spring summer :D
