April / May change of plans

The best laid plans of mice.. and quiz mizzes [sic] .. these days, King Football is messing with our plans...

• Wilde Quiz #199 (Champions League Season 16 Finale), Thursday 31 March, 8pm, NOW 2 TABLES LEFT (reservations till 5pm, or you just come down to Oscar's tonight)
• NO QUIZ on Thursday 7 April (due to Europa League football fixtures)
• Wilde Quiz #200 - JUBILEE!!!! all sorts of fun questions, big WQ review, music, nuts, drinks, pics.. QuizParty, like :) , 5 tables left, Thursday 21 April, 8pm
• Wilde Quiz #201 - still with a BIIIIIG question mark, Thursday 12 May, 8pm

Please note: all quizzes are reservation only, all reservations by mail to quiz_miz@hotmail.com.

Beware, the ideas for March

Quick update regarding the March schedule. For people who don't read the small print on the right.

THERE IS NO QUIZ on 17 March. It's Paddy's Day and the only questions asked on that day will be "where the feck is my drink" and "why the fook are you wearing that silly green hat?"

The #GrandeFinale of Champions League Season 16 will take place on Monday 14th or Monday 21st March. Final date will be announced as soon as the facebook group has agreed on one. Caveat: groups of 8 and more players will be excluded from this one as recent history has shown an annoying lack of discipline in large groups. Champions League Final is all about quiz, No partying.

We shall have reason to party (and quiz) later in March. The BIG#200 is coming up and we're gonna celebrate that one with a quiz party like none before. Details here as soon as we have them. Date will most likely be the 31st March.

For the time being RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED. The quizzes are almost always fully booked, walk-ins don't have a chance of getting a table. Most importantly - reservations can only be made by mail to quiz_miz@hotmail.com. If you phone Oscar Wilde to book a table I will not get the information till one hour before quiz starts and by that time it's too late.

WQ#198 - wir sind schon voll

Wilde Quiz #198 on 3 March is all booked up, no tables left.
try again later in March.

And the points for the Oscars go to.... POTW WQ#198

Right, Queops. It's the Friday before the Thursday and about time we had a POTW. Initially I wanted to let you guess the next FIFA president (or Germany's representative in Stockholm) but what the heck?
Oscar's it is, as announced last week. So whip out your crystal balls and predict the winners in the following categories.

• ANIMATED FEATURE FILM

..and for a bonus point - how many Oscars will 'The Revenant' get (out of the 12 nominations)? (‪#‎giveortakenothing‬)

GO! 

And then have a wonderful weekend, I will see (some of) you next Thursday.
