Rose and Shamrock

Every first Tuesday of the month, the Rose and Shamrock pub in Havelock North hosts Quiz Night. I was invited to attend this event by some work colleagues. When I got there for dinner the place was packed. I guess it’s the happening event around here. We ended up having a large team as more and more people kept arriving. Most of the questions were general information questions. I did contribute two of the answers- the number of players on a hockey team (I presumed they don’t really watch hockey here, as everyone at the table looked expectantly at the American for this one; lucky guess on my part), and the capitol of Iceland. All the evenings watching Jeopardy with Ravi and Priya finally paid off. (Sorry I made fun of you, Priya!) Our team, Legs Eleven (have no idea where the name came from) was beat by Alphabet Soup by one point. Second place out of 25 is not too bad!
