The end is nigh - plans for what remains of 2014

By now I have confirmation for TUESDAY 2 December from
  • Fietscherings****
  • BRAZIL
  • LGQ
  • Graces*
  • P&A(+/-A)
I assume we'll find at least one more team so WQ#165 is GO!!! on Tuesday 2nd (meaning WQ#166 is on Thursday 11 December) 
QUeops, this is our chance to have a 'normal' quiz again, just the Scooby Gang, and one or two QUinterested additions (4-2-Won, Engel..?). We could do vids, and nice new silly pics in the music round, and stuff we haven't had the chance to do for a while. *excited* 
I'll keep an eye on the book for personae non gratae.

Our annual WILDE QUIZMAS is the last one of 2014, Thursday 18 December, 8pm. The usual sweets & treats, games, riddles, and seasonal silliness&songs. (Hope it doesn't turn out like Halloween) 
Again, please confirm/book/cancel - we need time to prepare, plan, shop, decorate. This one is Reservation Only, deadline is Thursday 11 December.

Then we have a 3-week break !!!!! WQ#168 is on 8 January 2015. Whether we do our annual New Year's 2014 Review Quiz, or a regular CL one, our count Review as CL - still up for debate.
Looking forward to BirthdayThursday, and TheQuietQuiz on 2 December.
Happy weekend y'all. See you round.

Last Post... for 2012

Apologies for the ones not in our FB group who had to wait for Quizmas and other updates...

Quick, before the old year is gone - points and a few pics.. and - as promised - the Quizmas limericks ;)










































And here the poetic part  (the words that had to be inculded - Santa, Scrooge, Wein/wine, Schnee/snow, Quizmas)

Shamrocks
After Quizmas old Santa with his deer
Looks like Scrooge and listens to Chris Rea.
He's unmotivated, the mood is low
so he sniffs some powder, white as snow
while the elves get drunk on wine and beer.

Die 3 ???
Scrooge und sein Freund Roland Kaiser
werden an Quizmas immer ganz heiser,
singen von der Santa Maria
im Schnee vor der Hagia Sophia.
Doch nach 7 Fässern Wein werden sie langsam leiser.

Cannonbells
Gestern abend im Schnee hab ich Santa gesehen,
hab in überfahren - ich schwör es war ein Versehen.
Und auch Scrooge hat noch in dieser Nacht
Bekanntschaft mit meinem Kühler gemacht.
Nach 'nem Quizmas-Abend mit Wein sollte man nicht fahr'n - lieber gehen.

Minus 2

Wine ain't Fanta
Scrooge rages like Santa
'cause all he wants for Quizmas
Isn't snow but business.
That's why Frau Holle gets killed by the hunter.

Pinkies
Scrooge ist der mit dem Xmas-Hass.
Nun war er aber heute beim Quizmas
und nach etwas Schnee und süßem Wein
will er ab jetzt lieber Santa sein.
Doch das finden die Geister zu krass.

Canadian Moose
Canadian Moose wünscht Merry Quizmas.
There's snow, and wine, and dirty business.
Ob SCROOGE, ob klein
Stimmt alle mit ein
Denn Santa cleans up all of this mess.

Hurricanes

Santa was having a Christmas beer
and invited all to his Quizmas, oh dear.
Scrooge came over, through the snow
drank glasses of 5 wine, in a row.
What a wonderful end of the year.

DAQ
There once was a day we called Quizmas
Which made Santa, and snow, ist whole business.
Scrooge has been played by Caine
While Australians drink their wine
I can't believe that you missed this!

On Quizmas, Scott & Hutsch
arrested Ebeneezer Scrooge.
After too much "wine with glow"
he had killed Santa in the snow.
His regrets though were not that huge.

Once there was a Scrooge
who didn't like Quizmas very mooch.
He rather played in the snow
And drank wine "with a glow"
So Santa gave him a big smooch.

Scrooge is his name
Quizmas his favourite game.
Snow lies on the pine
And while sipping his wine
He is thinking 'Santa is lame'.

Scrooge in the snow
Santa's on the flow
Quizmas is fine
Unless there is wine
and now I have to go.

Graces & Dogs
Scrooge kaufte nach'm Quizmas etwas Schnee
Bei einer guten alten Fee.
Da erschien ihm Santalein
in einem Gläschen Wein.
Der Schnee war wohl nicht gut - oje!

's wird Winter und der Schnee, der fällt
und keiner hat mehr sehr viel Geld.
Zum Scrooge wird jeder Santa-Mann,
mag weder Wein noch Weiber dann
denn Quizmas ruiniert die Welt.

Scrooge lief nach'm Quizmas durch den Schnee
Da tat ihm der Zeh oh so weh.
Also trank er einen Wein
Mit Santa - das war fein.
Doch nun hat er einen im Tee.
Also added my own 5 cents' worth:

Merry QuizMiz

"Oi, Santa," said Rudolph, "you git,
you know full well Fanta is shit.
Don't be Scrooge - gimme wine
or my nose will not shine
when on Quizmas o'er the snow we flit."

After the usual pre-Quizmas banter
Scrooge & Bob Cratchitt played Secret Santa.
"'s no wonder,"said Bob,
"you're making me sob.
I've long dreamed of a red wine decanter."

And a slightly longer one that's still missing a conclusion (feel free to add verses)
It was Christmas, all was covered with snow,
spirits were high (on the top shelf, you know)
Santa had taken a shine
to sweet mulled wine
and decided to let Scrooge run the show.

Now the reindeer were not cool with it.
They knew Scrooge would treat them like shit
so they decided to strike,
bought some amps and a mike
and sang loudly "Scrooge you, you old git!"

That in turn sat not well with Ebeneezer
who was just busy re-stocking his freezer.
He cried "The last word
on this you ain't heard.
I'll talk to your boss, that fat geezer."

"He put me in charge of you lot
and whether you like it or not
you'll be pulling my sleigh
all night and all day
or I swear I will have you all shot."

With that he ran off to seek Santa…
When he found him he let off a rant a
deaf man could have heard
Santa couldn't get a word
in edgewise so he nipped on his FANTA

(which contained seven sorts of white rum).
And while Scrooge yelled he wisely kept shtum.
Then he said "Is that it?
I was sure that this shit
would happen, must have been Rudolph, that bum."

So he went off in search of his deer
who amidst wine-fuelled singing and cheer
were harrassing a pooch
and imitating Scrooge,
much too drunk to see Santa was near.

Not shy, Santa grabbed Rudolph's ball,
"Attention! Are you listening all?
If you cannot behave
I have to be Scrooge's slave
and rock kids on my knee in the mall."

As you know that pees me off no end
so stop whining and hurry to mend
the fences you broke
with that stingy old bloke
whether you mean it, or only pretend."

Soon the reindeer were galloping down
the cold slippery roads, out of town.
They tried to catch up with Scrooge
Whose lead was already huge.
And the snow was as deep as their frown….

MerryKwizMiz

This here KwizMiz is very merry indeed - last night's quiz moved up to top spot in the all-time-bestest-quizzes. And what a lovely Christmas party it was too ;)
And since you were such a brilliant crowd, and as a sign of my appreciation for your lovely Christmas prezzie (aawwh) - here are all of last night's pictures, and the points. (well, 10 pictures, and the rest here for download)











































So - before I head into the holidays - once more a BIG THANK YOU to all you lovely quizzers who have made not just Ye Wilde Quizmas but also the first two seasons of our champions League such a huge success. Singled out for more praise - Cannonballs (or at least Frank's wife ;), Amazing Graces (Fantastic Faina for baking the Turner Prize-worthy biscuits seen above, and the the other Graces who doubled as little elves last night, helping to prepare the party) and Newbies for bringing rum cake rum ;).. your generosity and creativity knows no bounds.
A big Thank You also goes to the diligent and friendly lads and lasses of the Oscar Wilde staff, and of course boss man Uwe, for being such excellent hosts. I feel that, this time, we have really found our new quiz home.
There's so much more I'd like to say (and being naturally chatty, I probably will in a few days) but for now only this.
It has been an absolute pleasure and I'm already looking forward to seeing most of you in 2011. There will be changes to the format and rules, to make it even more fun than it has been so far. But all that can wait until I'm back from well-deserved (and much-needed) holidays.
I hope you're enjoying yours, and till we meet again - happy holidays and a very

Quiz- and Christmas links, tips and hints

Not that I'd give away any questions for Wednesday (seeing that I have yet to pick some) but if you feel like practising or just want to read up on Xmas trivia.... apart from Wikipedia..

here's where ..
or here...
or try this..
or just google your own ;)
Not saying that there will be many questions aboutrecords and stuff, or traditions, or... but it's worth a try.. and if the facts are no use on Wednesday you can still smartarse the Christmas out of your friends and family come weekend :P
Oh, and if you get the chance - take a closer look at limerick-writing and practise throwing darts ;)

And if you're still looking for cool Crimbo tunes that are a bit different from 'the usual'.. this here is the bestest place to grab a few.. the Dude has the finest selection and generously shares it with us every year. If you grab a few do be nice and leave a comment or thank you ;)

Happy researching/practising/singing... see you Wednesday :D

Quizmas is coming ...

Here is the list of teams currently registered for Ye Wilde Quizmas. As you can see we have a few (5) tables left but there's no guarantee that they will still be free on Wednesday.

















Kleine Änderung: Foxes & Newbies haben 31+32 und KBF ausnahmsweise mal 22.
Secret Silly Santa questions sind eingegangen (und dankend aufgenommen) von Alpha Strong, Newbies, Foxes, Cannonballs, and Graces. Alle anderen werden dann wohl auf ihr Glück (oder umfangreiches Allgemeinwissen) vertrauen müssen :)

Last little note: we will of course have sweets and stuff but if you feel a bout of baking coming on, or have already made 20kg of cookies and can only eat 18 - in the spirit of caring and sharing, bring some for your fellow quizzers. Or something else. It would also greatly add to the merriment and festive atmosphere if you'd wear silly head garb :)
