I was well impressed by having someone else name their quiz team after me. Fame indeed. But you have to agree it's a shit quiz. And only 6 teams in it. How much did you 'win'? Also questions were asked about the fact that your lot seemed to have exactly the same wording for some of your answers as us. Coincidence or something more sinister? The Plough's on a Thursday. I've yet to try it so it'd be a neutral venue. Hoping to get along next week though, as always, it's dependent on the babysitting situation.

The Telegraph is a newspaper right? I'm embarrassed for the many many brilliant and proper journalists who have written for the Telegraph down the years and even for the few decent ones left, for 'dulwich mum' and for anyone who thinks this is an acceptable use of newsprint. My heart aches for Fleet Street and all that it used to be. But fair play to you Dulwich Mum for flogging this to The Telegraph, you clearly have a talent for something.

No the word written does not belong there. It was a dumbass quiz for dumbasses.

The 'mystery' year round, question one - In what year was 1984? FFS. Connections round, question one - What connects people who have names that are types of birds? Jeeesus. International pub quiz convention dictates that 6 is the maximum permissable number of members in a quiz team. And bussing in folk from far away is frowned upon. We clearly misfired (that was our worst result in any quiz ever) due to the fact we hadn't been together for about six months and we had to field one substitute. The inquest has begun and we shall regain our previous invincibility. So you won on your home turf (which was shit), bring it to The Plough next week and let's see how you fare.

Of course we could make it interesting and introduce a little side bet....

Oh Mr(s) Nutty, you are soon to feel the force of a fully operational quiz machine. And once we are finished with you we shan't return to Hoopers we'll move on and you'll keep going there and you'll win again but you'll always know that any future wins just don't really count because somewhere out there is a crack quiz team who could crush you on a whim.

It's probably quicker cycling than driving! You'd be best looking at Herne Hill/North Dulwich than E Dul I'd say. HH for the Thameslink trains, HH or N Dul for trains to Tulse Hill or Norwood or Streatham where you can easily change for a Croydon East train. Direct trains from W Croydon to North Dul station.

Right, my quiz team and I are having second thoughts about Hoopers. We'll win wherever we go so which is likely to have the bigger pot as a prize - Hoopers or The Plough?

Calm down. Your polling card will tell you where your local polling station is and will probably have a map printed on it too.

Ok babysitter permitting the 8th is looking like a goer, with a fully operational team. You, Mr(s) Nutty, are going down.

It's really good for eco-friendly baby stuff. Hope that doesn't change. Was in there at the weekend and noticed the staff were not as friendly as helpful as usual. The usual gaggle of German-looking girls seemed to be replaced by a Vicky Pollard-alike (lazy comparison I know) behind the till. Though I don't usually go in at the weekend so it may just be weekend staff.

I had to look at the official list of professions recently to find someone to certify a passport picture. Journalists are included?! The people I know that made it on to the list were a couple of teachers and a couple of accountants. All of whom are the most promiscuous, drunken, unreliable, irresponsible people I know.

This business seems to be all fur coat and no knickers. It may well be popular but their wine is overpriced in my opinion, I'm not sure why we're not allowed to mention 'the drains issue' but it was quite an episode and now this. If you want decent wine (at a more reasonable price) there's Nicolas or Boss Man wines. Either this lot have been spectacularly unlucky or they're a bunch of jokers. Either way I'm sure there are better businesses that would add something to Lordship Lane?

What are you talking about Keef? The Apprentice is on on a Wednesday.

Bah, babysitter let us down last minute so didn't make the quiz which well pissed me off. Not sure what date we'll be back in action, possibly the Clockhouse on Tues. But nutty choose your venue well, we will destroy any challengers at the Hoopers quiz absolutely guaranteed.

So anyone dare to challenge my mighty quiz power at The Plough tonight?

I think quids is making a fairly valid point about the warehouse. It was controversial when it opened remember, many Zenoria residents were dead set against it. If they've been put through stress and inconvenience only for the thing to fold that seems a point worth making. Plus of course it may well prove the canary in the East Dulwich economic mine. Or is it a unique case with unique problems? So take up quids on that issue rather than firing into him/her for being negative. There are a few people who seem to think that because they post a lot on here they have some sort of ownership of the forum, what can or should be said on here. The internet ain't like that. Whether you post once or a kjillion times we all have as much right to be here and to post.

Me too, I thought I'd stepped in something. Stinky foreigners

Got any Modesty Blaise books?

Ha ha ha we pissed all over the spick and micks and came second with a team of just two. If we'd fielded a full-strength team we'd have coasted to victory. But with a full strength team (at least 4) the pot wouldn't be big enough to justify turning up. Plus it would be too easy to win so we'll be back only should morale drop at any point in future and we need a win to pick us up. Owner Jamie's a nice chap though isn't he? On to the Plough quiz next week. Anyone been to that and know if it's any good and what prize (which we will win) is likely to be?

We may send an advance party to sniff things out before launching our inevitably successful assault on this quiz. What time does it start? Anyone been to the quiz in the Vale?

I probably should join. How much does it cost? What do they get up to and when?

I refuse to believe there's a hotter doctor in Dulwich than Anu Bhatia

Get lost Snorky. You're just jealous because your doctor isn't a hotty.

Which DMC doc? Tell me it was Nush the totally glam doc.
