I’m really liking all this talk of ridiculously skewed gender imbalances…
Now I just need to screw my courage to the sticking place and see if I can hunt down the Continental Contingent in my awful, rusty French! Wish me luck!
I don’t make them, they come with a children’s book called The Naughty Sheep. I have sixteen small sheep. They do balancing tricks. Behold!

Is that rusty enough for you?
I know I was impressed you got that one right.
Yes, there will be a quiz.
Yes, it will be somewhat shorter. I will also make at least a halfhearted attempt at enforcing the answering of questions in a timely manner (i.e. less than the time it takes to go to the loo, go to the bar, buy a pint and come back, as some folk did last time).
The format will be similar to that of the last one. The questions will probably not be as difficult as last time (or at least most of them won’t be); however, they may be more demented. As before, I make no apologies for questions blatantly swiped from other people.
Yes, there will be at least one question involving a monkey again, so Tir had damn well better show up this time.
Yes, I am accepting bribes of money and pints. The information you receive in return may have no bearing on the actual quiz, but hey, that’s the risk you take. 
It looks like November 29th has been settled, but has a place been decided? London? Birmingham? Edinburgh? Slough? Outer Hebrides?
okey doekey then, I’m almost vaguely certain I might possibly be able to definitely make the 29th in London. Can’t do Birmingham I’m afraid 'cause, well, it’s like north of watford and my passport is out of date.
Do we have a location or numbers yet?
- female or male
- married or happy
- straight/gay/lesbian/transvestite/transgender/indifferent/flexible
I’d be up for it, as long as its London.
London or immediate environs for me, please; otherwise I’ll have to deputise a quizmaster/mistress.
FYI: The last quiz.
Ain’t promising but I’ll pencil it in
If its London based then I’m in.
Well, since qts has offered me a place to stay, I’m up for London.
beer and beer and beer and beer and beer and beer and beer and beer and beer and beer and beer and beer and beer and beer and beer and beer and beer and beer and be…
I sure hope it’s London, since the earliest I’ll be able to reach England will be Saturday very early a.m. (Mom will kill me if I miss Thanksgiving, and the earliest direct Chicago-London flight leaves at 4 pm Friday), and I’ll already be jet-lagged as hell.
Having looked at the last quiz, I think I’m screwed; it’s a tad UK-centric. But I did know the Monopoly question; my grandparents used to live there. That’s OK, though. I’m sure that plenty of others will be making fools of themselves, and there are no huge egos in this crowd, right?
yeah, what Tir said.
are we off to Camden at the start of november? i havent been there for ages.
Look… Lines! ---------> -----------------------
Oh and KABOOM! From my stash of fire paper.

Eh, chances are reasonable good that I’ll be in London 'round that time and I’ve always fancied going to a dopefest … so, any objections to some random Scots bloke turning up ?
Oh, and,
Well said.

See, this is exactly the problem. It’s all very well saying that sort of thing here, but you just can’t do it to the bartender like you did Tuesday night. It’s no wonder the pub ran short on pint glasses…
As mentioned above:
Any ideas???
