QuizList

A lot of quizzes that are new to the site this time round, and thanks to those who have sent them in.

Sundays:

The Rocket, 120 Euston Road, NW1 2AL,020 7388 0021.  A couple of months ago this was advertising a large (£150) cash prize, then it wasn’t on because of football so I haven’t actually got there myself.  Worth checking out.

BRB at the Gate, Station Rd, London, N22 7SS, 020 8889 9436.  Now, there is even less information about this one (the pub used to hold a Wednesday quiz) as it was just a chalkboard glimpsed in passing which appeared to advertise a Sunday quiz.

Mondays:

The Bald Faced Stag, 69 High Road, N2 8AB, 020 8442 1201, which hosts film quizzes in collaboration with the Phoenix cinema, is starting a new Monday quiz on 23rd August.

The Woodman, 414 Archway Road, N6 5UA, 020 8340 3016, has just started a new Monday quiz.  It’s advertising an early start – 7.30 – but seems to get going around 8.00 and is offering a £60 first prize.

Tuesdays:

The Pilot Inn, 68 River Way, SE10 0BE, 020 8858 5910: £1 per player, winner takes the pot with free drinks for second place.

And for a Bank Holiday weekend one-off, try The Three Compasses in Hornsey for a charity music quiz in aid of the DEC Pakistan Floods appeal.  More details in ‘One-off quizzes’.

One nomination in for ‘worst quiz question ever’:  ‘How many seconds are there in a year?’  Some people were busily working it out and may even have reached the right answer, but the ‘correct’ reply and the only one accepted for any points was apparently ‘Twelve – the second of January, the second of February, etc’.  That is genuinely terrible.  In contrast to the post title, which at present is a genuine question from me.  I suppose I might have to go and investigate when I am finished…
