Guest Posted June 26, 2001 Report Share Posted June 26, 2001 All Does anyone know of any decent pub quizzes in BKK. Somewhere not too "raunchy" so I can take my non-BG GF. I know about the Bulls Head quiz, just wondered if there were any more. For the puzzled:- A pub quiz is a peculiar British thing that we do to justify sitting in pubs and drinking beer.

PhordPhan Posted June 26, 2001 Report Share Posted June 26, 2001 I'm absolutely no help in your quest. However, could you elaborate on a "pub quiz?" I'm interested in strange and weird customs of the less-civilized parts of the world Thanx PhordPhan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 26, 2001 Report Share Posted June 26, 2001 Pub Quizzes - A Guide for Non Brits. A pub quiz is a thinly disguised excuse to knock back a few beers while having some fun. The format is variable but a typical quiz will have upwards of 4 teams (silly names optional) and a number of rounds. The house normally puts up some sort of prize (a bottle or a round of drinks for the winning team) There is a quiz master (usually amplified), who asks the Qs and they take the form of rounds. For instance sport, general knowledge, geography, music. There may be some sort of more difficult question at the end. One example of this might be 5 statements about a personality from history. 10 points are available if identified from the first statement, down to 2 points if it takes all five statements. Some quizzes have music played in the music round others are just Qs. Yet others have picture rounds etc. They are normally held on a night during the week when the pub would be otherwise quiet, in the hope of generating more custom for the bar. They are very popular in the UK and I miss them in LOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhordPhan Posted June 26, 2001 Report Share Posted June 26, 2001 Thanks, CI. They sound like a lot of fun. I enjoy trivia-based games anyway. Nothing quite like them on this side of the pond. PhordPhan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 27, 2001 Report Share Posted June 27, 2001 The Bull's Head quiz is actually a very good, well-organised tournament and the groups of four take it very seriously. I go there with a guy who was in a professional quiz league in England and we won it about 4 times running. I didn't go to the last one but he was on the winning team again. The Londoner pub apparently now has one on a Thursday as well but I'm not sure how many times a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 27, 2001 Report Share Posted June 27, 2001 Thanks Phil Does anyone know the pattern of Thursdays for the Londoner quiz? Also the Bull's Head, held on a Tuesday I recall but again, is it second in the month or something, anyone know? Finally who would like to form a team at one or both of these quizzes? I used to net the prize about 50% of the time at my local quiz in the UK. It very much depends on the format and degree of difficulty but it can be a good night out if not taken too seriously. I'm sure some boardmembers would find it an interesting "alternative" prelude to a night of sanuk. ....... Let me know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 27, 2001 Report Share Posted June 27, 2001 The Bull's Head Quiz is on the second Tuesday of every month - starts at 8pm. There are usually about 10 teams of 4. 3 Rounds of 25 general knowledge questions including a celebrity picture round and a music round. There are also 'table' questions which any team can win and get spot prizes (usually bottles of beer or baseball caps or T-shirts) Questions such as 'how many butcher's shops are there in the UK?' - closest to the correct number gets the prize. We usually have about 5 table questions in a night. Standard of questions Who founded the salvation army? Who sang the theme to the Bond film 'Tomorrow never Dies? Which is Thailands least populated province? Where were the 1984 Olympics? That sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As CI said, they tend to be held on a night when there wouldn't normally be any punters around. I haven't been but saw a flyer somewhere. How about a board team or two in one quiz or another? I would be interested (though I would have to look up question 3!). LG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiHome Posted June 27, 2001 Report Share Posted June 27, 2001 This sounds like the closed circuit TV trivia game we used to play at Hooters several years ago. All the players would have a remote that you put in the answers. Got points for being the fastest. Was a lot of fun (for a US bar anyway.)
