blonde poker forum

as promised to those impatient for details, mentioning no names * The Baron*, we are planning a quiz to accompany the Blonde Bash on the 7th and 8th of January

We are in the process of finalising a few details but the current plan is as follows

The quiz will be held at the Broadway casino (Dik9 awaiting the Green light from his boss, if not we'll take a conference room at the Marriott)

Suggested time is Sunday 8th 4pm

Duration c1hr with 7 10 question rounds, including poker questions, a picture round, sport, music, current affairs, geography and odds'n'sods

Teams of FOUR people maximum

Questions set by a former Mastermind heat winner, who is not bribable. Well, probably not bribable.

Prizes to the winning teams

So before I go any further I would like to know from the 100* or so of you planning to attend the weekend:


* Is 4pm on the Sunday OK for the majority of people? I am particularly thinking of those of you flying in from Scotland, does this suit your return plans? (other possible times are Saturday before the comp, earlier on Sunday afternoon etc)

* Are you interested?

* What is your team of four?

* If you would like to play, but need to find players to make up a team, post here and we'll do a sort of quiz "dating" service, matching you with other strays!

* Any questions/suggestions...ask away here....

* Here's the list of acceptances (http://www.blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=4096.0) so far

Great stuff Tighty. I asume you will take a bribe. Is £8 enough?

When? I'm happy to go with the flow, but if I had a choice, I'd suggest 4pm on the Saturday, but really, whatever folks prefer, I'll go along with.

By the way, I jokingly suggested yesterday that there ought to be some girlies only teams. But on reflection, I think that's a bad idea. We don't want them sulking, or on non-speakers all weekend with faces like seaside donkeys, after we've whopped 'em, now do we?

Scaredy Cat Tikay :)

Nuff said.

Hi Tighty Myself and my good lady will be up for this we are staying over both sat and sun so we can go with the majority with regard to times ect...  
We will need to make use of your "Dating Service" to get a team tho.

29 year old male and 24 year old female. attractive couple GSOH's looking for some four way action in conference room of Marriot hotel Birmingham in early Jan.......

this reads better


anyway people, Jezza and Mrs Jezza need two more for a team...any takers?

Team El Snoppy is ready to go.

Sorry for the impatience Tighty. Excellent mod work as ever. My virtual hat is off to you.

I want to play and am floating. i'm pretty good, so don't all rush at once.

me too!!

IFM/Jezza/Mers Jezza/No Flops Homer...why don't you combine to make a team of 4?



Latest news


Dik9 has very kindly confirmed that the Broadway will host the quiz, and will provide a spread for participants


I need to tell him within 48 hours whether we are opting for the Saturday or Sunday at 4pm

Please if there are strong opinions either way can you let me know asap? Again, I am particularly thinking of those flying back to Scotland...what time is your return flight?

Finally...all those planning to play, please tell me here.we need to know numbers for catering purposes

Anything less than say 5 teams of 4 players each and we might think again

There was a lot of interest in the initial thread...is there still a lot if interest?

Teacake Dave & I are flying back on Monday - so the Sunday sounds fine.

AFAIK Tank is coming down, Mikky was thinking about it & so is Lazaroonie.

We might have to have an elimination quiz to get a team of 4  :D

Rod thanks

I was concerned you'd be flying back Sunday and you were one of the keen ones

Two Scottish teams of four then???

Sunday looks ok then, unless I hear otherwise before Saturday

Could be 2 teams - but we'd need to have a draw to see who got stuck with the Scouser  ;)

Me, Dave & Mikky on the same team, now that would be funny, we would never agree on anything  ;D

Totally, I'm-a coming.

I'm keen to do this Tighty, Saturday or Sunday is cool with me.

I think we should have teams of 4, except for Girlies & Scots - they should have Teams of 8 to give them a chance. We have to be fair to the weaker sex, & the Colonies.

slide , me into an em, older person team........ ;tk; but remember,we take longer to ansew the questions,

and can we have a table near the toilets., to prevent leakage.
Oh a a table near the loadspeaker,to hear u see.

and remember keep the lights up so we can see to write down our ansews.

and of course it goes without saying the room needs to be warm,,,,,,,,and no draughts.

That should give us the advantage we need to whoop you youngens ass. ;tk; ;tk; ;tk; ;tk;

Can I be in eric's Team please  :cheers:

OK, We are doing the Sunday at 4pm

Food provided, questions provided, bragging rights to be won.

Sign up...sign up....

Me please.

IFM/Jezza/Mers Jezza/No Flops Homer...why don't you combine to make a team of 4?

Sounds cool to me

me too. (need team mates)

Sorted then if floppy agrees..............

Floppy. lol

I'm not sure I can make the Sunday, I won't staying the night at the hotel and I doubt post Christmas, I'll be able to cover the £100 buy-in on sunday. Stick me on a 'maybes' list for the moment.

i am havent got a team yet
i can play for
the scots
the kids
the good looking blokes after a date
the pervs
the poker players
the bugger this quiz we are going to the lapdancers team
and any other team that might want me

I want to play now, me and my fella will need 2 team mates obviously.

i need team mates if you don't mind chilli? maybe the ironside as well?

not sure if i will be able to join a team with chilli in it i value my life too much

cool, Ace and Ironside with me and my (dont know yet what he has gotten himself into) fella.  Dont worry ironside, for once we will be with each other NOT against  ;)

ok someone remind me to wear a stab vest to the blonde bash

being from aberdeen, i figured you would have a whole host of stab / riot clothing, to do your shopping etc etc

dave i aint from aberdeen i am an hour and a half north of the city of gods

but yes i have a stab vest i just need reminded to wear it

I am free for the quiz if anyone needs a player, or if you make up another team.
 :)up

Ill give it a go, but need to make up a team.

Hey Ironsides - Me & Tank already had you penciled in for the Scotland team.....

I'll be about on Sunday afternoon, so I'm more than happy to take part.

Surely there's the scope for pub quiz alliances/feuds to be generated on the Saturday night, rather than tie people into teams now (Scots excepted :))

that's a good idea

if necessary just turn up on the Sunday afternoon, you will soon be pressed into service


Meanwhile, my question setting continues apace....(evil laugh)

wohooooooooo people fighting over me now

btw guys i never finished high school let alone uni so i cant be that clever surely there is enough scots coming down with dave and the rest to make up a scots team i dont wan the scots team finishing last (where it proberly would if i was in it)

Oh its me & Tank now is it   >:(

Are you trying to put together some kind of chookter select here, what about your TPT mates who you are travelling with ya big flirt  :D

BTW hows Tank gettin down & is Laz coming?

Does anyone want me?

Ps, What's a quiz?

Oi Red you are already in a team!

Steph, er i mean Teacake, Rod said last night that you suggested a different set of teams, outside of the TPT guys?

he said it was Myself, you, Dave Colclough, and Rhowena Colclough, in our team.

he said this was your idea, and so ive already put it to Dave last night, i think he seems fine with it.

Good Post.

Was going to get the train.

Eh I have no recollection of making this suggestion  :dontask:

I did suggest a Cin Cin team for the heads up comp with DC in it tho  :)up

Tank, flying with FlyBe is a better option, me, Rod & Dave are flying down on the Saturday morning & back on the Monday afternoon. 

what time you guys getting into brum my flight gets in around midday

Flight leaves glasgow at 7.10am

We're gonna be very drunk or very tired but prolly both  8)

Drunk jocks in Birmingham in the morning ....  you will fit in just fine ;)

no need to shout i have booked

although they were being a bit anal about a credit card i smoothed them over

just to let everyone know

the questions are set, the quiz is ready.

This should be fun (evil laugh......)
