    Hi
    After the Xmas break, the pub quiz at the Albert in Sunderland returns this Sunday, 13th January from 7.30pm. It is our review of 2018 special this week, followed by the return to the usual quiz on the 20th.

    Prizes including cash, beer vouchers and a rolling jackpot which builds quickly.

    Always fun and the pub has some great offers on at the moment on drinks. Located in the old Vestry opposite Wilkinsons on Fawcett street

    No jackpot won last week so looking at £70+ this week, as well as 12 free pints to give away and the usual cash prizes!

    Hi

    I tend to give the odd clue to teams in the first 2 rounds. Something like "That surname is wrong" or "Think about Question 2 again".....It just means teams remain in with a shout after the first 2 rounds. I don't give more than 1 clue per team though so the better teams always win.

    The format has changed a lot in the last few weeks, with new Gamble questions and Bonus Points for early submissions on Connections Round, so not sure when your friends came, but the new format makes sure the best team wins :)


    If anybody is keen to come I can PM over a copy of last nights set :)

    No jackpot winner, last night so £80-£100 ish next week :)

    True!

    The reason I tend to give the odd clue is above. I'll never outright tell anybody an answer.

    All quizmasters have their tactics of making sure people stay in the pub, after all that is why we are there. One of the common ones is marking teams up, marking incorrect answers....none of which I do. The clue is just to build a bit of a rapport with the teams and ease them in before the rounds that decide the quiz kick into gear!

    A good crowd this week with a close quiz all round. Plenty of teams took home cash and free drinks.....but no one managed to scoop the big jackpot. Still no pay out in 2019 thus far. We are back this week from 7.30pm....can you take the 5 week jackpot?

    Here is a question NO ONE will ever get, a t v series in the 1970's, cop/private eye type related is all I will say I watched it and it was o k. I will be back on tomorrow after the match after I check my pools coupon ! with the answer. If anyone gets it they will be a t v genius. If someone gets it right I will tell them straight away. 6 score draws by the way but no divi ! well I will keep trying the euromillions next hehe. £143 m and I will become a director put £50m into the club and buy everyone a pint or two and a directors box !.

    Not the Rockford files, put up a long list if you want, the star was male and solo. A very rare t v series. Also English language, but not Van der valk.
