Quiky 233 - Rankings

Hehe - even tho (or because?) I did my first tee-total quiz last night, I remembered to take the table & predictions.. and here are last night's rankings... tie-breaker had to decide 1st & 2nd...

Congratulations all, especially Only Me (who actually was only him :) and Die Fantastischen 2 (who were only 2)..

Pas Pour Elise mais.. Pour Hélène

Coucou la reine (ou le roy :)

merci pour ton e-mail .. ca m'as pris 2 heures pour traduire et 3 pour répondre :) (..bien que je comprenne la plupart, je galère à l’écrire..) D’autre cote, j’ai trouvé des nouveaux mots.. surkiffer, par exemple.. chouette :)

Alors, merci pour m’envoyer les liens, je vais gamberger sur tes suggestions mais je ne peux rien te garantir..

Et en ce qui concerne le “Idiot Song” – t’as raison! J’ai jamais remarqué parce que je me fous des frères Gallagher :) .. et ceci ne va pas te surprendre…

Et bien, c'est tout pour aujourd'hui, faut que je me prépare pour le match demain (et l'alcohol, 5 Guinness!!! j'peux pas attendre!!!)–

Bon ben, j'te souhaite un très bon week end et à jeudi (peut-être avec des chansons francaises ou francophones :)!

P.-S. – desolée, j’pouvais pas trouver mon cédille :)

The dangers of being a quiz miz

Just so's you know what I have to put up with while doing some serious research for them Thursday nights...

temptation on toast..

In my desperate annual attempt to lose a few pounds I've already decided to give up alcohol on quiz nights (you've been warned - mispronunciations, flaring temper, trigger-happiness with them colourful cards may occur...) and now I get tempted by the leckerest, unhealthiest sandwich you could imagine (well, I'm still having drooling dreams about that steak-ham-sausage-fried egg-fried onion--cheese sambo, easy on the rabbit food, that one of our barmen ordered a while ago.. nowt but seriously BAD stuff but the taste.. must have been greasy heaven..)

Well then, Quiky 233 will be the first test to see if I can survive on cigarettes, apfelschorle & some fun alone..

Quiky 232 - Rankings

errrmm.. oops.. looks as if I flamingoed up (that's pretty much like a cock-up, only bigger) .. well, it wasn't all that disastrous but the sheet with last week's rankings seems to have got misplaced.. no idea how that could happen as I'm normally a very ordentliche, organized person.. (maybe I put it in the laptop bag that went back to its rightful owner..)

I seem to remember that Pinky Sans Cervelle won (that's the combined brainpower of Manthe, Hélène, and wor wee Swiss friend...). Don't recall tho who came second.. all I remember is a strange name and faces I had seen before (yeah, I know, DT :)

Anyroad, we had 14 teams (I think :) and it was a pretty tight affair in the top 3rd of the table..

Apologies, 'tschuldigung, désolée .. but I can't promise that it won't happen again :)

POW - Prediction of the Week 233

Well, the question for all you Mystic Megs out there in the Prediction of the Week for the Quiky 233 on 10 April was

Will the BVG continue their strike next week (i.e. week of 7 April)?

This "competition" is closed now as news coverage would give anyone entering at this stage an unfair advantage... try our next POW on Thursday 10 (Olympic flame anyone?? :)

Tease me..

Here are a few samples of what you might have missed or mis-answered (yeah, I know, that's not a word..) .. or what might just come up shortly:) can't see anything? click on the pictures for a slightly bigger version..


Which artist is being "collaged" here?

What was the year?

This is the parliament building of a European country..
Name the river that runs by it :)

Much-beloved macro shots .. this is a close-up of what object? (beware, the big version might be sort of in-your-face.. :)

Name the movie & the award the "leading actress" got for her role in it..

And if it's answers you want - come back here later or - if you can't wait - try and google them :)

The show will go on.. in the Kilkenny

After a weekend in the land of big dogs, pastry and rather good but expensive beer I've given the quiz in the Irish Harp some thought and have come to the conclusion that I'm gonna let it rest for the time being.. the numbers just don't warrant sacrificing the best part of Sunday and after the last quiz night, I can't even look a it as fun anymore.

Apologies to those of you I've baited and begged to travel all the way to Charlottenburg, should we find a solution you'll be the first to know...

In the meantime, check out the Quiky in the Kilkenny pub on Hackescher Markt.. same quiz, more people, more fun...
