Quiz Night, 15th January
Jan 5th, 2009 | By Bock | Category: Food & DrinkIt isn’t all geopolitics, high finance and sultry-but-murderous Russian agents in negligées, you know.
God no.
Though Bock, just like the Skibbereen Eagle, keeps a careful eye on world leaders, there’s always time for a local Limerick event, and this one seems worthwhile. It’s in support of an Irish charity in South Africa that looks after people with HIV and AIDS.
Come along on the night, why don’t you? It’ll only cost you ten euros, and you can have a few scoops, a bit of a chat, some gossip. A chance to revive the great old Irish traditions of backstabbing and begrudgery. See that fella? I knew him when he hadn’t the arse in his trousers, and look at him now! Ha!
These are the details in the press release sent to me by the organisers.

Once I read the words “backstabbing” “begrudgery” I knew it was going to be a tablequiz. Cheating, lies and rampant dishonesty seem to be intrinsic in the old Irish tablequiz. Fun for all the family. Oh yeah and the charity too.
I once witnessed a tablequiz in the Irish pub in Krakow. It just wasn’t the same.
Took part in a table quiz in Dublin in the mid 80’s . Was asked which frontiersman had a knife named after him.
My answer of Jim Bread was not accepted for some reason or other…
Why? Jim Bread was an absolute hero of the frontier. Didn’t Jim and Davy Cottage-Loaf fight the Chimichangas to the death at the Battle of the Banoffee?
That’s the problem with these quiz people. They’re just reading the answers out of a book.
They were probably thinking of David Swissarmy.
I just asked my kitchen table a question and I was met with total silence.Are you sure that organizing a quiz night for a bunch of tables is a good idea?
You’re right. Maybe they should play board games instead.
Or musical chairs for 35 minuets?
Is there no end to your cruelty?
ok, no more pulling the legs off daddy long legs!
Well maybe just one or two.
Quickly.
Minuetto allegretto.
Doubly cruel too, ye bastards.
Pulling the legs off spiders makes them deaf, as any fool would know…
I’m all in for pirate dice, but ya gotta be careful when the table starts moving…
Happy new Year to you, Bocksy.
