The categories on the left are the page sections which include lists
of free questions for your use.
They are grouped broadly into categories but are just the bare bones
of a quiz. If you want to get yourself underway for a professional
quiz night, I suggest you jump straight to the ready-made sections
available on the top right which really are the easiest possible
way for any quiz master to sort themselves out.
I was lucky enough to be a quiz runner at my local pub for many
years and I like to think that at the very least my quizzes were
enjoyable. I think the turnout usually suggested that they didn't
mind me too much, but it seems to be a bit of a tradition that the
quiz master is not the most likes character in the world, I think
partly because he's the smug git with all the answer just watching
you squirm as you fail to remember who was the first actor to play
James Bond, and it's not the obvious one you think because you're
sure you've heard the real answer on QI and it's totally different
to what everyone thinks and definitely isn't Bob Monkhouse. Or even
Bob Holness.
So anyway, if you're an aspiring quiz-writer than I sympathise totally
with what you're going through, trying to find new material each
week to keep them amused and also not too diffult so that they don't
throw a strop. You're also always worrying that your questions can
have holes picked in and then there'll be a huge and horrible arguement
whereby they end up bringin an encyclopedia into the pub the following
week. Although to be fair, now everyone just whips out their iPhone
and will show you the right answer there and then, although they've
then got to prove to you that they didn't use their bloody iPhone
in the first place to look up the answer and cheat!
Cheating in pub quizzes is a real probles these days and it was
one of the reasons I gave up the whole game. I got really tired
of people not entering into the spirit of the whole thing and instead
of understanding that it was just a bit of fun on a Monday night,
and that they should actually treat it as a test of their own abilities,
certain teams would just cheat as much as possible by text and win
every week. I really don't understand the mentality behind this
because you're not testing yourself, you're just stealing money.
I suppose the cash prizes for these really commercial quizzes are
the main reason to cheat but it does seem a very sad occupation.
I frown at you people! I would never cheat in a quiz, oh no! ;-)
Righ then, you've heard enough from me for now. Please get on with
