oh gawd not another quiz thread.
May I give a shout for the, err Boxing Day Quiz that starts in F3 at 9 / 9.30 isshhhh, or at whatever time you can make it. Don’t know who’s doing it – probably some mug.
It might be really, err, good with some very interesting questions ??? (i think) Any complaints should be sent to Cath55 in Triplicate.
I’m also informed that this will continue every Friday evening to help make your 2009 the err, bestest fun-packed year ever. If you can’t make it then that’s fine. You will go on some kinda blacklist but that’s the ruthless nature of show business and it’s nothing personal.
It might take place in the Quizroom I heard…….
err……thanks

to brighten up your boxing day evening after all the festivities do join us, you just cant get the staff these days, it will take place at 9.30 and the only complaints i will be takin in triplicate is bacardis…….. see ya all there xx
GOLLY DUTCHBOATS !!
It was awful. Some stragglers stumbled aboard, the skipper consulted the tide tables and decided we could wait another ten minutes before setting off. The first question was way too hard for the crew and whispers of mutiny began circulating before we had even left the harbour. The sea was calm enough but nothing else was. Bonus points were available for answering in Dutch but lets face it, most of the contestants could barely cope with pre-school English – on a good day. This while Rod Stewart’s ‘Sailing’ droned repetitively over the ship’s loudspeaker.
More disasters followed. Wilma had been left behind at the quayside. Rosepetal would only answer unintelligibly from the galley because she had so much food in her gob. Chess fell overboard. This was not considered to be a problem at all until someone threatened rescue with a deflated armband. Esme had to be strapped to the mizzen mast and shown the cat o’ nine tails but that just cheered her up for some reason. At half-time the captain, by now weary of having rotten fruit chucked at him and seriously concerned about the potential scurvy problem, caught sight of a passing vessel named ‘The Lobby’, and immediately semaphored urgent messages for personnel with a modicum of intelligence. So Lovely Lady and Undertaker rowed over only to be shocked at the state of the poop deck.
The highlight should have been the walking of the plank for whoever came last, and everybody expected to see how Tina would fare at the point of a cutlass. However, it was Diane and Pam who shared this position and the plank simply could not handle the combined weight. Eventually Cath was declared the winner despite the handicap of what was thought to be severe barnacle encrustration, but which turned out to be a number of secret Google servers. The whole thing ran aground on the sandbanks of despair, apathy and incompetence; aimless bickering continued into the night while Poisedon and two seagulls p/ssed themselves laughing.
What a shambles……..See you next week !

I didnt fall overboard ……. i threw myself over in despair :lol: :lol:
Sounds like a good time was had by all, better than the time I had. Glad it will be a regular feature. Please remember to send me the scores so I can add them to the league table, god knows some could do with all the points they can muster lol
the Golly Dutchboat will embark on somewhat calmer waters next week as I’m at the helm.
there will be no talk of mutiny as all ladies boarding will be met and escorted round to the officers mess , handed a glass of champagne by a handsome officer and a gentleman, before being escorted to their seats in the quiz room example below….
and all gentlemen boarding and being succesful enough to be in the first 3 on the scoreboard at the end of the quiz will be escorted by a female officer…… example below…
so lady and gentlemen quizzers I look forward to seeing you aboard the Golly Dutchboat next Friday at 9.30. 8)
