QUIZ NIGHTS

Roundhouse Tavern is running a free quiz night on Thursday nights starting at 7pm. Anyone want to help us make up a table so we can win shit for nothing? Matt and I are notorious for showing up the quiz nights and the table we're on coming first or second.

IS THIS A MEME?

It's a thread that came up on a birding forum I read. Answer whatever's applicable.

What was the first record you bought?
What was the first cassette you bought?
What was the first CD you bought?
What was the first MP3 you owned?

For me -
1. I think it was the This Is A Call single by the Foo Fighters. Maybe I should sell it, possibly worth a bit, being their first single and all and being on vinyl.
2. the cassingle of Opposites Attract by Paula Abdul and the compilation "Let's Do It".
3. First CD I owned was the Sleep When I'm Dead single by Bon Jovi because I won it. First CD I bought was 7800 Farenheit, also by Bon Jovi - I owned both of these before I actually owned a CD player.
4. Walking On The Sun by Smashmouth.

Freo is my idea of hell but I do love quiz nights!

If someone can pick me up from the train station, I'm in!

I can attest to your turn-up-and-win capabilities. Even on crutches and struggling with primates :-)

Quiz nights sound like rather fun. As long as someone else has the sport questions covered. They get me every time, especially the AFL ones, ugh.

What time do they finish? Luke's working early now, but he might come along if it's not too late.

Not sure when it ends, I'd guess it goes for a couple of hours. Matt has us covered for the sports questions, he's a walking almanac.

Count me in, I guess. I need to get out more.

BTW, how's your job situation doing? I still don't have a placement, so I am looking for something else and spotted this. It's not in your field of course, but the pay's all right, and could be an in?

*goes back to searching for self*

We'll probably head out not long after I get home from work (which is 6ish) and have dinner there too. Apparently the quiz night is held in the restaurant area which makes things easy. http://www.theroundhousetavern.com.au/dining-specials/ You can drop in at our place first if you like or just meet us there.

That job looked okay at first, but looking in more detail I don't meet some of the essential selection criteria (it's actually a team leader job and you need extensive customer service experience). Ah well, there's still the museum job I need to finish the application for.

okay, Luke's a bit too tired today to go along (just started a new job this week) but he says maybe next week?

You guys still going? I can come up on my own and get there a bit before 7 (I hope... I somehow manage to end up later than I aim for, most times) or I can just say see ya next week. ;)

What are the prizes like?

Not that I am an avid consumerist or anything...
