People have argued over getting me on their team because "Katie's really clever" ....more fool them, because unless the quiz has a biochemistry round, I am truly appalling. <br /><br />The only round I am ever ANY good at is literature, and even then it's hit and miss because I always forget the name of the book, or the name of the author. Im that really frustrating person who spends the whole night going "I know it, it's on the tip of my tongue"<br /><br />K xKatielasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14286827059480866574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227801669278401053.post-55280550839497780672012-04-05T09:15:01.992+01:002012-04-05T09:15:01.992+01:00Oh yeah, and once when playing trivial pursuit wit...Oh yeah, and once when playing trivial pursuit with a friend's dad I would have won on the question 'who said 'we're bigger than God?' and I answered 'The Beatles' and on the card it said 'John Lennon.' This was around about 1998. Wow. Really selling myself, aren't I? xxPrettiest Hobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04165796612564923869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227801669278401053.post-59789722768769410082012-04-05T09:12:22.021+01:002012-04-05T09:12:22.021+01:00In Australia every year in primary schools there&#...In Australia every year in primary schools there's a competition called the MS Trivia challenge. Our team of 4, 2 boys and 2 girls, won our local round, our city round, and our state round. We got knocked out in the final heat on the question how high is a pool table, which was multiple choice. This was in 1996. I cried all the way home, and it was made worse by my Dad saying he didn't think it was an unreasonable question, he thought I could have worked it out if I knew how tall I was, by thinking about where a pool table would come up to on me if I stood next to it. The fact that one of the boys from the team and the other girl from the team both now live in London and I mention trivia challenge EVERY TIME we see them goes some way to showing how passionate I am about quizzes. I have friends who won't play trivial pursuit with me because I 'get scary'. I am jealous that you got to go to the pub with Bedders and Laura and Woody though! xxPrettiest Hobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04165796612564923869noreply@blogger.com
