@blood-on-the-tracks said
Hmmmm

I suspect the 'double points for port' and 'bonus points for trivia' promises have not been honoured, if those placings are correct

Correct.
The final placings will honour all the rules.

Only Trev and Kev got 2 correct.
neilarini, rookie and Kegge got zero. Thanks for playing though!
Everyone else got one correct ... the same expectation as a chimp choosing one from four!

But bearing in mind the rules ...

pete got 1pt for his answer + 1 pt for his trivia doubled for port-drinking = 4points.
As did BotT.
Congratulations guys, hope everyone had a little fun.

Special mention for Dive who got the Quiz Master's discretionary
bonus for the ACDC joke making 3 pts for Bronze.

ALSO ... special thanks to Duchess. 😉

Generous, but taken and pocketed nonetheless.

I laughed out loud at your instructional reprimand of the duchess about standing up in the pub. 😁
(Edit; I think that was another thread though)

I can't hold my head up at RHP any longer if I try and live on with this lie. I confess. I wasn't drinking port. I can only apologise to Wolfgang and the community as a whole. I'll get my coat.

Can I nudge you towards 'sandwiches?'

Are you sure about that after your cheese performance?

Nice to see you NEVER do. (Put on your Sarcasm Detector)

There is absolutely no way I would lose a quiz on sandwiches. (As long as there are no questions on pâté ).


Blimey. too many edits.

I apologize for yesterday's off-topic post regarding AC/DC. I was on break at work and momentarily waxed "sentimental".

I kind of lost my bearings there.

Additionally, I didn't read this thread's instructions very well. Regarding "true and false" I was surprised at having lost when I just knew that I'd gotten them all right. 🙂

Won't happen again.

May I suggest, after we've taken a sandwich break, a PubQuiz on "Darwinian Evolution". It seems that some in the world, especially the U.S., haven't yet evolved a frontal cortex and I find it fascinating. 😀

Turns out you're not at the perfection level you had assumed.
