Pub quizes

skoas and I were chatting last night and we came up with an amusing idea which started off in jest, but I feel it would be fun to do.
The idea is to go to a pub quiz on each night of the week. We decided on next week for the experiment.

Monday will be at the Cornerhouse (No BITE link though. It's next to Oxford Road railway station (Manchester), just downhill from the causeway on Oxford Road itself.
Tuesday will be at The Bull's Head on London Road, next to the new entrance of Picadilly Station. Starts at 9pm, I think.
Thursday might be at The Old House At Home, WIthington - starts at 2100.

The rest are undecided, and suggestions for pub quizzes on other dayswould be welcome, as would a more central one for Thursday. We'd like people to join us, but there's no obligation to come out on every single night. (The two of us are going to try to do just that though)

Anyone interested?

The weekend of pubbage, aka UnAXcess meet XIV

Twice a year, one of my online haunts has a social weekend. This weekend was one such weekend, and it was in Manchester.

Friday was in the Bull's Head. I wore a fantastic t-shirt though photos are not online yet. (I'll update with a photo when it's available). I used to go to that pub all the time when I was a student, and the quiznight was excellent. (Speaking of which - see this post)

By happy coincidence, many of the old DSVR-folk were in there too, so it was great to catch up with them.

Later people went to the Scubar but having checked the mailing list before going out I noticed that some of the biphoria lot were drinking in Taurus, I decided to meet up with folk there instead.


Saturday: As I'm pretty much living in a US timezone at the moment, I didn't get out of bed until 12.30pm. By the time I get dressed etc. and into town I'd have missed drinks at the Waterhouse to instead went to the Kro.

Sunday: 1100-> Rampant Lion
