My Pub Kwiz questions

I've Twittered and blogged about the Pub Kwiz (their spelling) that I ran at the Willoughby Arms and some people have asked to see the questions, so here they are.

There are 6 rounds of 10 questions each with a two part answer that is worth a point each, that is 120 points for you not too hot on maths. There is a separate picture round with 15 pictures to identify worth a point each. That gets us to 135 points. In the pub the winning team (of two people) scored around 80.

It may or may not help you to know that in some cases one of the two answers is included in the questions and in some rounds some of the questions have the same answer.

See how you do.
