I returned to the blog yesterday after a hiatus of almost three months and, if my site’s stats aren’t damned lies, over 100 people called in to view the new post. Thanks everyone! Before I reveal the answers to the questions I posted, I did say I’d come clean on my good fortune in the [...]

Just like the League of Ireland, it seems that my quizzing season has reorientated itself. Gone are the days when quizzes were plentiful from October to April. Now, almost three months have passed by since I last caught wind of a quiz. These are hard times indeed. Sheridan’s Bar, Knocknacarra, was the venue for a [...]

Here are the answers to the questions I posted in the Back in the game… post yesterday morning. There are a couple of these that are dodgy. For instance Q1, Q3 and Q13 had more than one name for the right answer. Then, I opened up the business section of a certain Sunday newspaper to [...]

Ever had the feeling that you’re out of your depth? By which I mean: ever had the feeling you can’t swim properly because the water is too shallow? Well that’s the feeling I had at last Wednesday night’s quiz in The Dáil Bar, Galway.

Tension was in the air last night as we arrived for the final round of The Front Door‘s latest three-part quiz. As was outlined previously (here and here) we arrived at the venue in second place overall, 1 point behind the leaders The Living Room Rats. We’d lost to them by a solitary point on [...]

I was on hiatus for the last week for familial reasons but fear not loyal reader, for I am back. Thanks to Mike for yesterday’s post regarding his quiz on Monday night. It’s his turn to be busy today, so he’s emailed me the answers to the seven questions he posed at the end of [...]

With John away again, it’s Mike filling in here with another guest blog. People like to win. Leaving aside the “doing it for the craic” losers – yeah, right – we all love to win something, sometimes. Table quiz, office sweepstake, race to the elevator, whatever. If there’s a sense of superiority on the table, [...]

Here are the answers to the picture round and quotes I posted earlier in the Front Door‘s revenge post.
