I've been attending a weekly pub quiz for over a year now, but last night I actually hosted it for the first time! It involves an ice-breaker round of 50/50 style questions (ie sit down if you get it wrong, stay standing if you get it right), and I am having sooo much fun making up obscure questions about all my favourite interests for next week 😂

#obscure for the regular folks at quiz anyway #these guys aren't going to know what's hit them #... 'which Catholic heresy was the Albigensian Crusade designed to eliminate? was it the Fraticelli heresy or the Cathar heresy?'#I'll have to wait until my parents sit down before I start asking questions about figure skating...#maybe I should bust out some Latin or Putonghua #... 'what is the literal translation of the Chinese cheer phrase 加油? is it “add oil!” or “fight!”?'#Beatles questions are ubiquitous in pub quizzes but I think this one will still be difficult:#'which song was the b-side to the Beatles' 1963 single Please Please Me? was it P.S. I Love You or Ask Me Why?'#does anyone have some of their own obscure/nerdy questions I could use?#nerdery #and my ultimate weakness: figure skating nerdery
