("you" being 2legs not Freddy - he just got his post in first)

I don't know who is doing it now 48 now on the definate list

I can't see it working if we ask everyone to bring a few questions with 3 days to go. There would be duplications and someone would need to sort the whole thing out.

2legs, if you have time, then I think it's a good idea for you to go ahead at this short notice but perhaps we can think of another way for the summer meet. TC's idea has potential.

I was wondering about playing the tape recording of music intros. Would the pub need to know in advance and be licenced for public performance? Keep Music Live

Good point about the music licience doobry; they chaanged the law a while back and its rediculus now in pubs, they need a licience for just about anything they have I'll go ahead tomorrow or friday and write a quizz, no more* than 42 questions, looks like about 50 people so I can print out say ten or eleven copies? if people could bring pens would be handy, of course dpeending how drunk I get depends on how easily I can remmeber the correct answers oh I guess I could write em down length of quizz depends on how easy I find it and how much time I have

I'm not allowed to set quizzes anymore. Not after the last Brum meet.

So I should do a quizz then? I'll do three or four sections with say 7 questions in each? sections I'm thinking of are 'life' 'universe' 'eveverything' (with questions taken from appropiate bits of edited guide), and perhaps* a nother section called something like 'guide' with questions mainly* from H2G2 non edited/community stuff and it'l be easy if I write it.... honest

Sounds cool with me- although Master B might want the job...

I don't think we need anything more than Freddy's intros, do we?

They'll take over an hour, any more and people will get bored.

B

But we are unsure as to weather we can do them arn't we? as I don't think theres a cassette player in the pub, and we don't know how they'd be about us bringing one along?

Speaking from the point of view of someone who has plugged a laptop into a pub, I don't think they'll be too fussed. As long as we keep buying booze.

B

so we are going to go for the music quizz, Oi! organise the music intro quizz!

Laptops are one thing, but start playing music and say hello to the nice man that wants to see your Ents. Licence.

Shouldn't be a problem. Reddyfreddy's not very entertaining.

B

Ohh, at dawn.

So we are going for Readyfriedies quizz then? hey hoe off a shopping I must go lunchtime

Can't we just all have a drink and a chat? And forget quizzes?

Suits me, I never like pub quizzes as I'm c**p at them

Well that was half my reasoning for asking!

well I'll not write a quizz, and if anyone does its up to them more time for drinking and chatting when there isn't a quizz, plus, of course, nowdays our supply of 'goodies' from the towers has all but dried up

So do you want this quiz I've prepared or not? I sweated blood over it!
