Friday Night Quiz 2022

[SwanR]

Taking my turn to be QM this week here are the topics for Friday’s quiz. A literary theme to the title of each round. All are tenuous links to the questions! You do not need to know anything about the books  🤭

Emma

Little Women

Treasure Island 

Animal Farm

The Wind In The Willows

1984

Hope to see as many as can make it this week.

Thank goodness for that. Gave up English literature before O level. I enjoyed reading books for the joy of it, not to dissect the characters! 

Looking forward to it Jean, thank you. 

[grendel]

well I have read all the books except for the first 2, so that at least gives me a chance, How much I remember of them may be a different matter, as in my youth I was a voracious reader, a book every day from the school library, 12 books a week (4 non fiction) from the local library, and probably a half dozen paperbacks on top. this was before we had a tv at home, or computers come to that.

These really are just the titles of the rounds so … who knows what the questions might be. I needed inspiration for subjects. 

[grendel]

let me put it this way, neither Emma or Little women were in a reading genre that I would possibly have read any books in, with the others I may have a chance.

[Bikertov]

Oh dear - English Lit was never a strong subject for me. In fact, it was my worst at school.

I got a 'U' in my O Level mock, and an E in the actual exam. Was reading one of the books for the first time on the train, on the way to the exam !

Much preferred reading technical books and manuals to plays, novels, and fiction.

It’s really not a literature based quiz … open minds are needed … you may well be able to guess what some of the questions might be centred around … and if not then all will be revealed on the night. 👍

Friday already … don’t forget to be there. 

[Bern]

Hope you are on the mend Arthur, best wishes from myself and John

Jean, so sorry but I’ll have to give it a miss. I arrived at the boat at 8am to see Catherine before they left for home. Being nearly a 4 hr journey you can imagine what time I got up this morning. 
Have fun everyone. Xx

[SwanR]

Well that was such a fun evening. I really enjoyed being QM this week and it was a closely fought contest all the way. So many people getting bonus points all over the place for their charm, wit and psychic abilities. 

In the end it was Bern that came out on top with 16 points.

Well done Bern ... look forward to catching up with everyone again next week. 

[SteveO]

Great Quiz SwanR. Nik and I laughed the whole way through. Great questions. Plenty of clever people "doing a Biker" and getting extra points for anticipating the answers and plenty of good banter and bonus points.  

[Lulu]

Really sorry to have missed it. I just can’t quiz on the phone especially with intermittent signal! 

[Bikertov]

It really was a hilarious quiz this week - just shows you don't have to take it too seriously, it is all about having a laugh !

Great to have Bern back and on form - looking forward to next week.
