Drugs?
Honoured, I'd also bring Buffy and films released before 1990 to the A team*.

Honoured, though I'd have to swap out drugs for Buffy*. *and films We know, 'plausible deniability' *slaps head* Of course! You'd be our Fay without a pair of jigglies to distract anyone (unless you've put on a shedload of weight during lockdown) "Eyes front Graham"... |

Eating the opposition is a tried and tested method of winning. Some of the snacks the pub landlords served, deep fried, made you wonder - one of them (Ray of the Queen's head) we suspected of pissing in the beer - his team always turned up at 8, nursed pints of orange squash, stayed completely sober* and fucked off immediately the quiz was over. We reckon Ray had some very strange habits - in his side bar he sold horse shit 'bring yer own bucket, me cocker' and the pauses while he went out back to shovel the shit into the bucket were full of nauseous promise as he'd resume asking the questions without scraping it all off... here's a picture of him between quizzes  *We beat the bastard TT schoolteachers and then pointed out to Wethereds, the sponsors, that the QH ran a teetotal team and shovelled more than shit across the bar. (Ray got banged up for receiving and unlicensed ownership of a shotgun, prosecuted by the RSPCA for nastiness to animals and disbarred from ever holding a license to sell booze. Ever. He also very obviously cheated in favour of his own team...)
Sadly, Wethereds got taken over by Morlands, the league sponsorship passed to Rodwells, a soft drinks company and the bastard TT schoolteachers snuck back into the league via a pub whose landlord was more desperate to win than sell beer. |

More difficult because in here because you're never sure how much is Goggle and how much is recall. I ruled out Sheep2 because by the time he'd parcelled his potential answer up, into annoyingly spaced out soundbites, the time would've run out, bottles been broken for a bit of team frustration therapy and us all chucked out for affray. I'm ruled out again because Tenthen knows everything I do and more.
I will beat your quiz team.
Well maybe not, but I misspent a large part of my youth quizzing.
I was pretty good at the early rounds of any pub quiz*.
Literature, history, football other sports, (older music), general knowledge
Anything except soap operas and picture rounds.
A varying group of us used to go round pubs in Bristol.
* later rounds sometimes a bit booze befuddled. Especially if you could win beer during the quiz.

Tbh, as team captain I'd be spoilt for choice. All I can say is that I pity the pub that has to host the Chatterbox hive mind and its devastating thirst. (Even our teetotallers aren't safe; Kane will be drinking ALL the coffee.)

Most useful fact known.
Number of dimples on a golf ball.
It was worth about £80 in a jackpot round. I'd offered to split two entries with a friend knowing I knew the answer, but he refused.

Shenguin is useful in a quiz as well.
Back in the mid 1990s we used to regularly come second in a local pub quiz as a team of 2.
We'd be well ahead, win four pints and performance would fade
This did coincide with the picture round. So it might not have been entirely booze related.

Sheep doth protest too much. Damn right. I did not waste my youth answering quizzes in pubs only to be excluded by Chumbles on a technicality which happens to be completely wrong. My main advantage in exams and quizzes is speed. I might be wrong very very occasionally, but I will be wrong quickly. |

The last time I did a pub quiz there were people with their phones out in plain sight, openly googling the answers.
I would have complained, but they were on my team.

It's all cheating nowadays in pub quizzes unless you go to the FaradayCage Arms.
Library staff tend to do well in pub quizzes - though generally the sports questions let them down. At Xmas MrsC commented after a game of Trivial Pursuit how good my general knowledge was. Ya think. I've only worked in libraries for nearly 25 yrs. Again, sport lets me down.
The kebabs were lovely. Though the child wasn't that enamoured. Lemon juice was the main ingredient in the marinade.
{Edit} Damn you faceless. *Shakes fist*

My local uses Speedquiz, which is an online q&a thing, you get 30 seconds to answer, it's pretty good at preventing cheating.

You will regret not selecting me after the shoes round and the 1980s scottish football round.

When was Skype first launched, how do you use a background picture, that sort of thing?

Here’s one for the box - how many languages is Skype available in? Easy, ALL of the ones where it's installed; next please ... And after the Sheep2 revelation of his and Shenguin 's 4 pint flop, I'd ban them both for being lightweights... You can be first reserves if tenthenemy so wishes! My 'B' team would be doctoralimantado , who is fearsomely well educated, Melvazord who can tell me how to paint war dollies and GetOver who I really miss. I'd hire MrTiddles as my bodyguard to stop the others from beating me up when I picked the wrong answer... and Gripper of course... |

I think they had 3 opportunities to win four pints each quiz. More than once we won 8 pints.
The trouble wasn't the four pints. It was the four pints on top of other pints.

Get Over would be a terrible quizzer. He would turn up late, at the wrong pub, in the wrong town.
I hesitate to criticise*. But i do not think the quckest route from Gloucester to Brum is via Swindon.
* I do not.
