Yeah, I think they've got overhead line issues at Warrington junction so anything electric isn't getting through there. My boss got as far as Peterborough and was told he could get a coach to London lol

I am making the day better; there's chocolate beer bread in the oven. I might just go sit in front of it and watch it until it's ready...

loving pub quizzes and smartphones. Came 10th of 11 teams last night despite getting 8 or 9 out of 10 in most rounds. As soon as the picture round was handed out before the quiz proper, every loving team but us was on their iPhone frantically tapping away. There was one face who I knew which TV show she was a co-presenter on and the name wasn't coming, but had deliberately put my WIFI-ENABLED-iDEVICE away in my bag so as to stay true to the spirit of the game. If it doesn't come from your noggin then what is the goddamn point? Any fucker can look something up (well maybe not the team that came 11th!). Not keeping to the honour system is not very British at all. Cunts, the lot of them. Also there seems to be a correlation between how blatantly you cheat and having a hipster beard and lumberjack shirt. Cheers for ruining what used to be a fun little social distraction, you wankers. I have no problem with being trounced as long as it's fair and square. If any of the Toon goons would like to join our team, we should all bring every computing device we own, set up camp, and not even pretend that we're not blatantly looking everything up. Equal share of the prizes and I'll buy the first round. Also  at making a shopping list being too much  crispix here's a dirt-simple Saag Paneer. As mentioned earlier, the spinach is probably the costliest item (but is on offer in Tesco at the moment!). That makes four portions and reheats well, so two quid of the spinach needed won't hurt too much. If you're feeling fancy you can make your own paneer - it's easy! Bonus: you don't even have to set foot in a scary ethnic trolley-world to get the ingredients! Cheek aside, this is tasty stuff.

Cheating on the pub quiz is the lowest of the low.

Speaking as a checked-shirt wearing beardy man: gently caress hipsters. I am real bad at pub quizzes but my mate's mam has dominated the Monkseaton Arms one for about a decade, I'll see if she's free

franco posted:Also I think crispx is probably just going to starve or get rickets or something. If you cannot cook you have to make lists, someone who can cook might be able to rustle up something in the kitchen but if you can't follow recipes until you can. Saag Paneer or Saag Aloo are basically the easiest things every to make. That or invest in a pressure cooker and make beans/daal all the time.

my friend used to run a pube quiz and he had a simple rule - if you get a photo of another team looking stuff up on their phone, theyre out of the cash prize every entrant gives a quid entry and the pot goes to the winning team so it got up to like 70 quid at one point so yeah people got a bit salty about cheating and so he advised everyone to put their mobiles in a pile in the middle of the table and then dont touch them 90% of the time it was female students got their team kicked by sitting there texting also i ask again what opinions on jeremy corbyn

As for team names, I think the most potentially offensive we came up with was during the height of ARE MADDIE mania. We were consistently coming third for weeks and third gets a big bag of assorted sweeties. "[our regular team name] gives the sweets to Maddie." Although this week's "[regular team name]: Straight Outta Bensham" was quite pleasing too.

As someone who ran a pub quiz I've heard your stupid stolen team name and I'm really bored of it. Also I've got no problem saying Ken Dodd's dad's dog's dead. Fuckssake I once had 3 teams called Norfolk 'n' Chance.

Dyslexic Chimpions was my old team name. If its at a Wetherspoons, we went with Add Chips £1. We are sad. Bobby Deluxe posted:also i ask again what opinions on jeremy corbyn Lots of people on my Facebook are all doing their usual political commentary. How they'll switch right back to Labour from Green if Corbyn wins... Good to stick to your ethics I guess.

to the guy asking for veggie food advice (even though i basically eat anything with a pulse): my mum makes an awesome veggie biriyani and kesari. the veggie biriyani substitutes paneer for meat. she could literally sell that at farmers markets and make millions. kesari is a sweet that's made from rava flour (semolina), ghee, milk, nuts and raisins. Saffron of course if your butler can be arsed to climb the 40 crystal stairs to the kitchen.

One time a quiz master refused to read our team name out cos it was p bad: "What's the difference between Pope Jean Paul and Madeleine McCann? Pope Jean Paul died a virgin" Quizzy Rascal has passed its day now, though I always preferred Quizteama Aguilera.
