After 2.5 years, 4000 questions, 2000 pictures, 1700 music clips and a box of dingbats, I finally celebrated my 100th Quiz at the Tav. The night seemed to fly by and quite a lot of it is hazy which no doubt has something to do with the copious amounts of wine, champagne and disco p1ss that was drank. By 7.30pm the pub was already almost full, with no free tables or chairs. Luckily a quick trip by Mick to the Roebuck soon rectified this situation and when everyone was squeezed in and sat down the quiz began. Everything started off quietly, a bonus round saw Mick offering a meal at one of Biddulph's top establishments - however I don't think a microwave chicken burger was what everyone in the pub had imagined as this prize.

After 20 questions Rob stole the Mic and unawares to me he had planned a round where each team could come up and read a question for me to answer. If I got less than 2/3rds right I would have to wear the dunce's hat for the rest of the night. From the picture above you can see just how well this round went. After failing miserable at the first few questions, Spence got up and decided to ask me to explain one of three possible statements : narcolepsy, Midnight toilet trouble, and Stubble rash in a club. I decided the latter was the safest to answer and went on to amuse the pub with drunken tales from my youth. We then had a small break while everyone helped themselves to the excellent buffet that was prepared by Rob and Glenis. After the food I was presented with a trophy to commemorate my 100th quiz, and then forced to drink a bottle of champagne out of it.

The quiz was finally won by What Naive Athletes, closely followed by Dave Berry's team - "Big Boys Make Me Squeal". The third place went to a tie breaker between the Valiant's, Hop On Baby and The Baskerville Demolition, with the Baskerville Demolition correctly guessing the percentage of Nitrogen that is in a fart was 59% During the night we also gave away the full collection of the football classic's video's that had been shown in the pub over the last few weeks. After 4 difficult football questions they were finally won by quiz regular James. An extra bonus round was to come up with the funniest team name possible. As I never got chance to read all of these out on the night I thought I'd list them all here... Dave Berry's Team - Big Boys Make Me Squeal Dave Berry's Team (2) - Frozen Cows By Thora Herd What Naive Atheletes - Gay Welders have got their eye on Ecke My parents team - You were just an accident (reference to me I think) Baskerville Demolition - Sell My Bike, I'd rather stick wasps up my arse! Valiants - (E)ckes (C)luestions (K)eep (E)verybody (S)itting (Q)auffing (U)nder (I)s (S)pell ..taking the first letters spells ECKE'S QUIZ Robs Team - Betty Swollocks and Mary Hinge The guys from my work - Let us win or you're fired Some unknown team - Matts willy is a champion Whatever - The Gobbie Desert Canoe Club Globetrotters - If only we had a mobile with Shazam, we could answer the music round I'm not fat I'm just Johnny B Inter-Me-Nan - I'm too young to go Inter-Me-Nan I'd like to thank Rob and Glenis for helping to organise the night and provided yet another top class buffet. I'd also like to thank Mick for paying for all of my drinks!!
