SayidSomal Posted October 21, 2010 ^^ what is a pub quiz - have you ever part took in one? maya banoonigaan ku baraya a football hooligan defaced a board outside a church that read in capital letters : "JESUS SAVES!" he wrote underneath "yeah, but Keegan scores from the rebound" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NGONGE Posted October 21, 2010 ^^ I have taken part in quizes but not Pub ones yet. A guy at work does though and keeps testing them on me when it's his turn to be the quiz master (all Lady Gaga and people I never heard of). P.S. When Liverpool played Everton the other day and were losing by two goals, the Everton fans started singing "going down, going down" so the 'pool fans replied "so are we, so are we" (don't expect you to get it).

SayidSomal Posted October 21, 2010 ^^^oh i get that - what i don't get is why you support Liverpool of all the teams that man created (as if it is not enough being dumped or even worse being forced to be divorced by one american - only for another american to its place now) I was supporting Everton: We don't care what the Red shite say What the **** do we care We only know there's going to be a show And the Everton boys will be there hence why you were beaten by 2 goals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
