Boris, Bergfest, swedish music & pocket monsters - WildeQuiz#206

Greetings, Quoeps!

After the fun family affair that was WQ#205 we'll have one more 'regular' Thursday quiz in July.
If you're interested in attending WQ#206, come down to Oscar Wilde on Thursday 21 July. We start at 8pm so make sure you're there on time. If you're WQ newbies it'd help us (and yourselves) if you booked a table and read the rules.

Prediction of the week: predict the first 5 riders in stage 18 of the ongoing Tour de France.

Oh, and the WildeQuizChampionsLeagueSeason17 table looks like this after 5 games. Swing by and throw your hat in the ring.

Oceans, whores, bicycles, tennis, children, ITALIA .. and lots more - WQ#203

Greetings, Queops!
It's been a while since the last Wilde Quiz and before the EURO 2016 takes center stage for four weeks you have the chance to quiz, and win, and laugh, and learn, and meet, and mingle, and - of course - drink!
Wilde Quiz #203 is GO! on Thursday 2 June, 8pm.
And since our new quiz format allows for 8 topics instead of 4, we shall pick & mix the following interesting subjects:
  • Tennis (maybe French Open specifically)
  • All things childish (or just child's play, or Kindertag ;)
  • Whores (nope, your eyes are not deceiving you - Thursday is International Sex Workers' Day ;)
  • Bicycles
  • Deutscher Filmpreis / Cannes FF
  • Bella Italia!
  • HG2G / Douglas Adams 
  • Tobacco / SmokingNoSmoking
  • Oceans
  • Environment
  • D-Day
..and maybe national anthems / deutsche Schlager / duets / songs about rain.

Any other suggestions? Leave comment here (till Sunday midnight only)...

We still have a few tables so do grab them while you can (by sending a mail to quiz_miz@hotmail.com). The next chance to show (off) your knowledge is WQ#204 on 23 June.

The chance to start with 4 points on Thursday (Prediction of the Week) up here soon. Watch this space.

New beginnings - starting the third century of Wilde Quizzes

Forgive the tardiness, Queops, but with these month-long breaks between quizzes other things occupy the mind ;)

OF COURSE there will be a quiz on Thursday 12 May (not that I have even one single question ;) ... but dafür loads of kewl pics) and since the pickNmix system we used for #200 seemed to be popular among most teams, we shall keep it for now.

I do not know what the future brings (not even beyond the next 8 weeks) but we will start Champions League Season 17. The rest time will tell.

And since Vicky's Warriors and Quizzee Rascals won't return on Thursday, I have Yogi.
The new system (2x5Qs) allows for loads of topics so shout out your preferences (except boybands, Justin Bieber, quantum anything, Cartrashians...) It's easier to find 5 questions per topic, rather than 9. You can suggest cool combos if you like (e.g. small dogs+large bodies of water, 70s' fashion+Asian cuisine, video games+Victorian novels etc.)

We still have a few tables so if you want in for one of those rare fun nights, send me a mail ;)

Looking forward to Thursday and WQ#201. Try to be on time ;) .. I shall, too,
