Went to a pub quiz last night. We got 49/50. Still didn't win. Not cool.

Then it's either piss easy or some many are cheating.

There must have been some serious smart-phone use going on.

It was piss easy. Think the lowest score was about 44/45 or something.

Question we got wrong (and, annoyingly, it was question 50), was: Which two countries share the longest continuous land border?

That's what we said, and while that's the longest land border it isn't the longest continuous one (bloody Alaska).

That woman from westhoughton who is in tv show The Chase turned up at Barristers in town to do my mates pub quiz. Full marks unsurprisingly. Was just a one off appearance it seems.

Yes, he plays the music round on his piano. Sadly stepped down from Saturday night duties though.

It created a great atmosphere, the old fashioned knees up round the piano, which is now sadly lacking. Apparently it was doing his hands and gut no good though! I didn't help by regularly requesting Children by Robert Miles, he does a remarkable version. Does weddings and restaurant work now.

I've done a few pub quizzes in the last couple of years and I think only one of them wasn't ruined by who can find the fastest 3G connection.

and the winners are the table round the corner there!

If he saw me in there he'd play some Zappa without me even requesting it!

You might have been correct if there was still a Soviet Union.

Canada/USA is certainly the longest undefended continuous land border in the world. Ever since 1812, we've been a bit worried about that...

Haha! Seem to remember murdering Bobby Brown one night with my mate, vaguely. :oyea:
Keep meaning to listen to some more Zappa, what do you recommend for starters?
