The All New Occasionally Aussie P+B Quiz League and ☕ Occasional Cup ☕


Recommended Posts

Competition: Pie and Bovril Quizzing World Cup 
Location: Doha, Qatar 
Dates: Throughout the month of July when the sun is highest in the sky
I was thinking how to shake the cup up a bit and noticed that nearly half of the teams in the P+B leagues are playing in other countries. So I've decided to attempt a World Cup type of competition. I've no idea how this format will work in practice - so any suggestions would be more than welcome!
Through some mild stalking, I've sorted everyone into two teams - Scotland vs Rest of the World (I've shifted AFJ and Welshbairn into RoW to even things up a bit) - Actually, this is more like the Ryder Cup now that I think about it, but nobody likes golf, so the World Cup it is.

If you think you're in the wrong column, let me know, particularly if you've got an Irish granny you'd like to take advantage of (hmm, could phrase that better). If it ends up the Scotland team is larger, we can work round that. Over to you .....


Your presumption is correct.

I am not, repeat not, representing England. Yorkshire, at a push. England, nah.

Don't worry. That idea has been kiboshed.

As we say in my somewhat esoteric trade, RTFM!

Unfortunately Subo had to pull out through injury and has been replaced by the lovely Nina Nesbitt :wub: (this was actually her singing the anthem at a Scotland game, possibly v Belgium)

Happy to conceded that so 1 up to The Scotties.  She's an absolute wee honey.

BWV's fleg point remains valid.  If only we had a noted vexillologist to comment,,,

Not sure if you are referring to me, but I love a good fleg. Perhaps you could take inspiration from this thread, note the Nepalese flag made my top 5.

However, I'm afraid I can't offer any advice as I must be seen to be impartial. The last thing I want is to get a "Sebb Blatter" type reputation. Otherwise someone might call me a fanny ... then some wag will put the names together and I'll be lumbered with the nickname Fanny Blatter.
