Pirate Paul's Parrot Posse Pub Quiz

Thursday night was a visit to the Pond pub on Gloucester Road, Brighton, opposite Paul and Sarah's house for some tasty Thai food and to take part in the weekly pub quiz. The food went down very well and at 8:30pm we'd paid £1 for each team member to the quizmaster, a character called Horace McSquirter(?). Our team name of Pirate Paul's Parrot Posse won us a prize for the funniest, thanks to Kerry, with a prize of some chocolate doughnuts.

There were five rounds with a current affairs/news for the first, a topic round on Heroes, a picture round to identify famous people when they were children, a music round (a bonus round that didn't count towards the main points and a bottle of wine as the prize) and a multiple choice. We climbed the ranks through the rounds and playing the joker on the picture round we were 2 or 3 points off the leader. We somehow managed to win the music round for some bad wine to add to our hangovers including latecomer Julian who was already pretty half-cut and helped the other teams shouting out the answers (he did convince the others that I was right on a couple of questions so he did help in the end).

We honestly didn't think the last round was a good score until the quizmaster called us out as winners and the pot of cash was ours! Hopefully, us winning all prizes hasn't put off the competition or banned us from the next time.
