I write technical stuff about pop & squash for a living.
Pretty sure we didn't win tonight with 36.5 & an abysmal 2 on the pictures. Oh well, still got a few 🍺🎟️ in reserve. Back next week... #PubQuiz

As I leave I reckon we've probably won again! 😁👍🏼🍺🎟️ Didn't get the pictures or the snowball but they would have been icing on the cake. #PubQuiz

Back to the quiz at last! It's been a month.
It was a tough quiz so our 35 might be enough though I'm not sure as I board the bus home... #PubQuiz

Last quiz for a month 😢
We were leading after the 2nd round but the last round tripped us up. #QuizNight
Can't win them all & a pleasant night nonetheless.

Well 39 was not a winning score tonight & 4 was rubbish on the pictures. Oh well, We've still got quite a few 🍺🎟️ to spend, back next week. #PubQuiz

I've taken down the Ender Dragon over the weekend.
Took a while, cost two totems of undying and an actual death. I hadn't died in game for some while previously. The Endermen did most of the damage to me I think. 1/2

Only 5 teams tonight so 38.5 might have been enough for another win....
A pitiful 4.5 on the pictures so unlikely to get that pint. #PubQuiz

Well finally back to the pub quiz after a few weeks away for various reasons. I've left while Bob was still collecting other teams scores but I reckon 41½ was probably enough for the win! ☺️🎉🎊🍺🎟️
Admittedly a couple of other regular teams appear to be on holiday but a win is a win. 😉 #PubQuiz

So anyway, I've completed "Cover me in Debris" & "Serious Dedication" advancements. Getting down to level 17 in the Nether wasn't working. It seemed like there was a contiguous sea of Lava everywhere. In the end I used potions of fire resistance and swam to the bottom and built back up. #Minecraft

Had a lovely meal & stayed for the quiz. Should have had confidence in our 1st round answers as the last round was rubbish. Back in a couple of weeks. #PubQuiz

Well 42 might just be the answer to what score did we need to win the quiz tonight.
It wasn't actually settled as I went to catch a bus but looking good... #PubQuiz

Definitely played our 🃏 on the wrong round! We got 37 in the end, could have been 40 just by playing it on the right round. Don't think we were in the 🍺🎟️ this week. #PubQuiz

We were last after the 2nd round but a half decent last round got us up to 37 which was probably respectable but not in the prizes. Back next week. #PubQuiz

42 was the answer tonight. Won by 1 point! Good job it didn't go to the tie breaker though, we were 2 orders of magnitude out! 😂 #PubQuiz
