Pub quiz

It's February, the grimmest least fun month in the whole year. So what I'm thinking, is that we need to fight it, people. Here are my plans:

1. Publish Magic G, which my good friend the Curve reminded me recently has never seen the light of day.
Now, anyone know a good online hosting service where I can put the PDFs so you all can download and print your own EXCLUSIVE fanzine, featuring the work of such blogging luminaries as 'Foxy' Tim Footman, Oye Billy, the Mother of all things Rock, the poetry of Geoff, the gig reviews of Delrico Bandito and Istvanski, the stories of Dick Headley, the street art photography of East London by yours truly... all that good stuff.

2. Right then. Speed-dating is hideous, internet dating a chore, but who doesn't love a pub quiz?
What if I was to organise a pub quiz type event? You could send your single mates my way. Everyone has to sit on a team with new people, to break the ice. No lock&key findyourpartner type pressure, just fun, and if you don't fancy anyone then you've just had a good evening in the pub with friendly people.

What do you reckon? What could I call it?

God, I'd forgotten Magic G. What godawful bollocks did I send you?

And the pub quiz/dating thing could be called How Do You Like Your Eggheads? Or Screwniversity Challenge.

Screwniversity Challenge! Brilliant Tim!
Idea:
You could make name tags at the door for people for a laugh but use peoples porn name - first pet + first street lived on as a child = porn name.
Mine: Blackie Boucherie

The teams have to make up porn names too!

Wild Garratt!
That's my porn name, not the name you should adopt for your do.

You had a pet named Wild? What was it?

I hate that porn name thing, I get stuck with Pinky Vale.

There's a site called Issuu that does magazine hosting. I've never used it so I don't know if it's any good, but there you go.

Pub Quizzes are the best.

How about Annie's Blog Pub Quiz.

Yup. This imagination unit is completely bust...

Annie said...

No no, no mentioning of Blogs at the pub quiz, we don't want to look like mentalists to any potential dates...

I love pub quiz! Clearly you will hold it in Plymouth for my convenience.

Matilda Klondike

Crikey!
