It’s all Jack’s at the Willoughby Arms Pub Quiz
It was a bitterly cold evening – the sort where you really want to stay home by the fire, but it was quiz night at the Willoughby was anyone going to turn up? Oh yes! We had six teams including a new one Will Gillman came along with Andrew Woodward to be joined a bit later by a third team member.
Some different rounds to normal, Cockney Rhyming Slang, Valentines and Farming! The picture round went down very well ‘Famous Jacks’ we had a mixture from Jack Russell (yes the dog), Jack Sparrow and Captain Jack Harkness to Jack Palance, Jack Nicholson and Jack Daniels.
The music round had the usual groans, as it’s February a Valentine theme, all top ten hits with two from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s which more or less catered for every age group.
At the end of the evening the scores were very close indeed and we had a draw for first place with between Pork Scratchings (last month’s winners) and United Staits both with 143 points. Winners decided with a cut of the cards, ace low, king high. The United Staits won with a Jack!
