Good one - I like...
thinking Fort Mac but they've gotta be close

You definately need a music intro round too!!!! That always causes arguements!!!!!

Err arguements already been had about that one, tried it briefly with my MP3 player on random when I had a few people round and it fell on deaf ears, my music tastes not quite in the same range as a lot of the folk coming along so that got dropped!

Oh well, since you ask so nicely....

it's Aberdeen - just. 57 degrees and change compared to Fort Mac's 56.7 degrees. I looked that one up, is that allowed?

Christmas score for Oakvillain - 8 from 12

Better round you think?

yes. It's a bit more general-knowledgy and pop-cultural - people less nerdy than (Souvenir and) me will probably have more to enjoy!

I haven't done a pub quiz in absolutely ages - I'm enjoying these. Thanks!

Get yourself a general knowledge version of Trivial Pursuit. A good range of questions on mixed subjects. Everyone can participate by choosing the question to ask someone else.

Feeling better after that round didn't get as massacared as my Geography round!!

Oakvillain - 6 out of 12 - thoughts on the last round?

Good work on the Dr Seuss answer!!

We have a couple of his adult books (that sounds wrong... I mean books for grown-ups, not that kind of adult books) of cartoons and a biographical note in one of them mentions his coining of "Nerd" - IIRC it was one of a list of strange creatures that somebody brought back from somewhere else?

Some of that round wasn't really my cup of tea - I'm not a videogamer or comic book reader so there was a lot of guesswork. But I reckon they're probably pitched about right so long as you have somebody in each team who knows Superman from Spiderman or Bart from Lisa.

K thanks - last one for today, save sports, general knowledge and entertainment for tomorrow.
