The Prof’s Trivia Lecture Results

Another successful night with some young upstarts upsetting the reigning champions.

The Prof’s Trivia Lecture

It’s that time again Bashers. The Prof has pondered on his trivial life and scoured his vast collection of inconsequential knowledge and composed a testing quiz for us.

Venue as usual will be the Sticky Wicket Bar out the back of the Big Bamboo and start time will be about 7pm. just after 8pm.

Entry will be 100RMB per head with recommended team size of four.

The Prof has come up with a new format including WIldcard sections for extra strategy and excitement – all will be explained on the night.

Let the RSVP’s and abuse begin in the comments…

Olympic Trivia Results

Read it and weep. Another big headache from last night – from all the shouting i’m sure! 

Apologies for marking a few wrong – i’m a bear of very small brain

Our usual winners by a long stretch – but the peloton is closing in fast 

And a dead heat (after penalties for Hot-Dog like behaviour) for third and another for fifth – this is one red hot comp!

Mr The Prof has already started prepping the next test ….stand by for some serious intellectualism!

Anyone who was afraid of the rain and didn’t show or anyone who wants to relive the moment can get a taste of a draft version of the quiz here

Special Olympic Trivia

Following the success of our previous event and to allow some sharpened minds to exact revenge another Quiz evening is planned for the first week of the olympic games. It will all happen on Thursday Night at the Sticky Wicket bar up the back stairs of Big Bamboo. Many many prizes and much joviality to be had. Cost of entry is 100RMB per head. Recommended optimum team size is four pax. All friends, colleagues and family are welcome. Please RSVP via comments here so we have some idea. Start time is approximately 7:30pm. Be there in plenty of time to get a feed before and warm up your brain after a dulling day at the office.

In addition a tailor will be in attendance from around 6:30pm to take measurements for Bashers Blazers.

As usual keep you eye on this blog for clues!

Summer Trivia Fiesta Results

And shouting is over. This is not a post about State of Origin, that comes elsewhere. There was a lot of bravado and many disputes and at times the whole thing more resembled an Ice Hockey game than friendly competition. And why wouldn’t it? There was prizes at stake, not to mention quite a few reputations after much crowing. In the end old hands Woodstock and the Chooks took top honours (a case of home-delivered just beer each) with ease. The tussle mid table was riveting and tense though as seen below.

Standby for more fun events with the Bashers…..
