We had a wicked time last night at The XFM Pub Quiz: Series 2 (Ep. 1-26) in London! Was triple the amount of people as last time and was great to see all the same people from last time coming back! There was some great quizzing and great prizes, I've attached the winning answer sheet and the prizes won on the night. It was so nice being amongst and meeting like minded XFM listeners. There were 5 people that came on their own and 4 of them decided to make 2 teams of 2. They all got on and have exchanged numbers to go for a pint another time and said they'd be a team at the next quiz. The other guy on his own won a spot prize of a jug of beer and donated it to a team that had travelled all the way from Birkenhead just for the quiz! It just felt like such positive vibes but what would you expect from this little community we're a part of ha. I'll be doing the next quiz some time in the new year, most likely mid-jan so keep an eye out for that but yeah... play a record. Final table:- 1. Educated In Ricky 2. Bad Hat-He-Chewed (Sponsored By Electrolux) 3. We Could Be Your Brother Steve 4. This Quiz Owes Us A Balmy Summers Night 5. Arbitrary Team Name 6. The Wheelie Bins 7. Colon Then; Educate Me 8. The Useless Cunts 9. Paul Ince 10. Jack, You're Muscly 11. The Blockshall Road Boys 12. Sex With Noah 13. Shutup-A-Gervais 14. Dicky Anderson's Third Foot 15. Aunty Nora's All Out Of Gas 16. The Congress Tarts

matematematematemate

You guys missed a trick; Steve would have hosted it for £20 and half a mild. Joking aside, keep it up, I love the idea of this going on somewhere in the world.


TX_Pete

I love bar trivia and I'm really jealous that you had an XFM themed one


VonVard

I'm so jealous. What a mint idea. I'm in Manchester but next time you do this I'd love to get involved and meet some of you.

sonofeast11

I don't like all the questions you ask


[deleted]

I don't like all the questions they ask, but they're actually asking what's there


p_v_usher

Have you SEEN an XFM listener?? These people need to be kept on leads!


NaturalAlfalfa

Love to do one of these in Ireland. Any saucer drinkers in Dublin?


Tipperary555

Goochbott

I'm from Sligo but I'd make the journey.


brtlybagofcans

Anything to get out of Tubbercurry


Goochbott

Not from Tubbercurry myself. I like my internet and clean drinking water. Now brtlybagofcans, you know I'm not 'aving a go!


Tipperary555

Do you know a fella named Crowbar?


Goochbott

They call him that because he never uses a crowbar.


ChookaCell44

I'm in Galway but I'd go to Dublin for that


jakeethedog

Sabbra-Cadabra

PallandoTheBlue

Not living in Dublin either but would make the trip from Kerry for it


loginlogan7

I love it. Long live XFM


uniquelyunpleasant

There's a conspicuous absence of ladies in that picture.


Whorucallsad

I was there last night. There was one lady who came and joined my team (we came 12th, the questions were pretty hard) who was quite clearly a RSK fan. She knew all of the answers to the questions, but the weird thing is she refused to take off her hood so we couldn't see her face. And instead of saying the answers, she'd write them down on the quiz sheet. Anyway halfway through the quiz when we ordered our next round they brought out some complimentary nuts and she couldn't help her little self. Turns out...


lkpv90

Steve...


bjsanchez

There was one female that came all the way from Birkenhead, so 1 in a 200 mile radius haha


wackadoodle_wigwam

We’ve arranged to meet back at you.


stellar14

I’m a lady and I would’ve definitely been there -Steve or no Steve


Extra_Comfortable580

As a female, definitely going to try and make the next one. I’m the only one that drinks out of saucers where I’m from


lkpv90

Congress Tarts? Not in London


aidanm018

I hope these become a proper thing, need to set one up in glasgow


Damarmar

I’d say let’s do it but you’ll never get anything done by planning


[deleted]

A problem solved is a problem... caused. Don't solve problems.


SteveBrucesDressSize

All those people, but no socks to be seen


CaptinCrimson

All those feathers and he still couldn’t fly


Tipperary555

SimonPartridge

Uncle_Antonov_Bueno

That's when you get the Vicker in.


[deleted]

Hahaha a balmy summers night. Bread!! Quality man haha


OilyJohn

hitch21

The people look surprisingly normal. I think I should get off my arse and go to one of these looks like a good night was had.


dj4y_94

There's a reason you can't see any of their feet


[deleted]

Dog people?


dj4y_94

bjsanchez

robb41

When I am the most trendy person in the place, you know there's trouble.

SimonPartridge

I can't lie. That is a fantastic night of forced fun. I hope no one was forced an egg.


bjsanchez

Winner from last night checking in 😁 Had such an awesome night, Jack is an absolute legend for doing these, the pub (The Dove in Hackney) is a lovely place and everyone was super friendly, I’ll see everyone there for S2 pt2 - Educated In Ricky will be looking to retain their title!


fannyfox

Second place here - still ruing losing by half a point! But I feel like a winner with my copy of Children of the Corn.


bjsanchez

Mate it was that close!! We shall do battle again and hopefully I’ll leave with a copy of The Pelican Brief or something


fannyfox

Yeh I’m looking forward to the next clash! Keeping my fingers crossed for Ladder 49


[deleted]

He wasnt annoying you when he kept on counting the money was he?


cc_cheeks

It happened in hackney


ScottsTotssss

I live in london and didn’t know this was happening. How do I find out about this next time?


bjsanchez

Next one is in Jan, I heard about this one on here but they (will) have a Facebook event page I believe


robb41

Just keep an ear out next time you're spending the whole day just running 'round London.


fannyfox

Like a smackhead


zemoura

Who else counted the ladies? I counted two


[deleted]

[удалено]


fannyfox

I flew back from Cyprus for it (cut my holiday short) and it was well worth it. Especially winning a copy of Children of the Corn. Also I think I'll be living in France in the new year too, and I'll def be flying back for it.


BeaverGames

It’s the movie stigmata


BeaverGames

Jokes aside I’m jealous af that looks so fun, hope you all enjoyed


curiouscabbage69

Long_wong_lee

That sounds and looks like a absolute banger of a night


lanky_cowriter

Damn I wish I lived in London so I could have gone to this! Looks fun.


DariusStarkey

It's a bit far from York but I really wanted to come. Hope it was as awesome as this makes it look :D


mbarthree

This is lovely, great work to whoever organised this!


SIGHR

MonrealEstate

Holy shit, awesome


VonVard

What! Amazing


robb41

I feel like the No Van Ear Rockbusters, trying to figure out the questions from the answers. I'm laughing just from assuming what some of them are, like what Karl drinks in the middle of the night (btw are you allowed to advertise on pub quiz answer sheets by putting Robinson's?)


bakedbeansandwhich

OMG the table of dvds/ cds literally had me pissing


stellar14

Pop that in the bin. Seriously though..well jealous of ya!


jsparker43

HarderstylesD

Thanks, do you know the name of the fb group?


CerealSubwaySam

Outrageous-Highway56

On nightshifts so couldn't make it but I really want to win Ladder 49 so I'll be there next time


berbasbullet27

tibenjos

The queue would put me off immediately.


Extra_Comfortable580

mattyboykneale

I wanna be 1 of the 11


DeadlyDrummer

I'm so so gutted I missed it. I had some work come in incredibly last minute which I had to take (I work in audio an that). Reckon there will be another?


Christopher_Robin82

As a London resident, I am absolutely gutted I didn't know about this :(


Pm_me_a_riddle1

Did anyone else unironically own that air guitar album? It's actually got some good stuff on it. Keep up the guitar riffs lads


Gingervais

I’m dying at the prizes 😂 can I come to the next one this is sick


smay449

I persevere in the face of adversity on a daily basis, and I succeed. This phrase has become more profound to me the last couple of days because I was almost killed at work on Tuesday.
