Like a virgin

Carl from the English speakers in Rosenheim group organizes a monthly pub quiz at the Irish pub. Now, I'm not really into them - I wasn't when I lived in the UK either. Primarily cause I like winning, and my general knowledge and other specialist knowledge is nothing to write home about...

Nevertheless, since I moved here almost two years ago (holy shit!!!), I've been meaning to go. And finally, last Sunday was THE day! Besides very slow and slightly confused service (Kilkenny is not cidre... and good to know that one of the pizza ovens is taped shut 😶), I had a really nice night!

With a slightly disappointing ending: the winning team scored 34 points. And we came second with 32. BUT (and this is why I secretly feel like a winner also!): we unfortunately corrected one of our answers to the wrong answer (Like a virgin was indeed released in 1984 and not 1986) AND somebody should have trusted my math skill and we would have gotten the marathon in miles question right. And as the bonus winning point: I guessed correctly that Elvis Presley passed away in the '70s.

Highlight: I remembered that Qantas gets mentioned as the safest airline in the film Rain Man. 

From the category: why on earth do I remember these random things???

And lastly, I shall stock up on cidre for those nights when insomnia hits - best way to get me to fall asleep!
