In the mid-90s we entered a quiz at a pub called Hardy's Well at the end of Platt Lane in Manchester, where the gable wall had a freshly-painted Lemn Sissay poem on it called 'Wait Waterless Wanderer'.

We won, but the landlord initially refused to hand over the prize because of our team name "Lemn Sissay - What Witless ****"

I remember Steve Coogan doing one of his one off episodes called Natural Born Quizzers. Two psycho brothers looking for revenge years later after losing a kids quiz show. What they turned into as adults seemed to epitomise, to me at least, the pub quizzer. Apart from the violence, arson etc.

Oddly I was once a member of a quiz team called The Goat Straddling Virgins from Hell. Please don’t ask why. I think I was at college at the time so that might explain a lot.

Team I played in had a player called Bob who tended to **** off some of the other teams.
When he didn't turn up one week we called our team (which had a different name every week) "Bob's not here". We got a cheer every time the team name was read out from our opponents.....

We joined in with a husband and wife team at local quiz. It took us a while to fathom why the smirking husband named his team “Slipper One”.
