<p>Biggy: Yeah, hate those questions, too. I went to a trivia night here in Melb where they asked things like "What is the address of the Werribee post office?" and "Draw a map of such-and-such suburb." and "What shop is on the NW corner of so-and-so intersection?" Fvckers! Aaaaand, as it happens, I went there with an ex Trinity/UWA boy.</p>Big.Ramifications commented on 'PLAY D'OH!'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef00e008dcee5188342007-07-21T08:21:33Z2007-08-23T13:49:28ZBig.RamificationsA hockey club quiz night, of which I was not a member.

<p>"Who passed out after the GM and couldn't find their keys and woke up with wet pants?" sort of carry on.</p>
<p>Top that, haters. Do ya fucken believe it? I was chokin' on my own rage the whole night.<br />

<p>The first was a TV version in the 1950s starring Barry Nelson. It's not a movie.</p>
<p>The second was a movie version in the 1960s starring David Niven as Sir James Bond, Peter Sellers as James Bond and Woody Allen as Little Jimmy Bond. It's a spoof.</p>Professor Rosseforp commented on 'PLAY D'OH!'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef00e00996c6de88332007-07-20T11:26:45Z2007-08-23T10:06:39ZProfessor RosseforpWe were recently at a trivia night which had a higher percentage of wrong answers than usual.

But I would like to throw one open to the After Grog Blog experts, which cropped up on the night -- I had no idea, since it related to James Bond movies, which I rate lower than The Sound of Music, and like that film, I have never seen one from beginning to end.<br />
Apparently David Niven starred as James Bond in the 1950s in Casino Royale -- does this count as a James Bond movie? The guy running the quiz had never heard of it, so checked with an authoritative source -- one of his mates on a mobile phone -- who gave it the thumbs down. What is the general verdict on this one?<br />

General knowledge was for 10 year olds and every young'un I tested them on got the perfect score - although some teams of adults only managed 3/10.</p>
<p>Seemed like a way of getting away from the usual cookie-cutter quiz nights.</p>os commented on 'PLAY D'OH!'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef00e00996b43288332007-07-20T08:15:56Z2007-08-23T10:05:34ZosI understand the NZ Olympic Committee is writing to the IOC to withdraw from the Beijing Summer Olympics.

There were 4 rounds of 10 questions, with Round 4 being aimed at the kinds attending the kindergarten, rather than the oldies who were paying for the kindergarten.</p>
<p>Rnd 4, Q1: What is the name of Bob The Builder's cement mixer?<br />
Rnd 4, Q2: Name the (original) members of Hi 5<br />
etc<br />
etc</p>
<p>As my partner and I were in the tiny minority of childless people in the room, we felt very left out.</p>
<p>There was too much fluffing about (fund raising stuff, which is why we were there i suppose) and not enough trivia!</p>
<p>The one thing that made the night more enjoyable was when a ratbag (RB) woman on the table next to us decided to object very loudly and confidently to an answer:</p>
<p>Q: What is the capital of New Zealand?<br />
A: Wellington<br />
RB: No it's not!! (shouted out, while leaping to her feet)<br />
Crowd: Laughter.</p>
<p>It's a shame the kiwi in our team was at the bar at the time and thus missed the opportunity to defend his nation.</p>Tony T. commented on 'PLAY D'OH!'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef00e00996a55a88332007-07-20T05:44:00Z2007-08-23T13:34:46ZTony T.http://aftergrogblog.blogs.com/agb/True or False?
