Ah, the pub quiz. A British institution as reliable as bad weather and good banter.
Landlords tremble at the thought of a silent mid-week night, but fear not, for our very
own quizmaster extraordinaire, Linda, is here to banish boredom with a weekly brain-
bending bonanza!
We all know the type. The table captain who wields a pen like Excalibur, ready to
vanquish any trivia foe. The one friend who insists Shakespeare wrote 'Gangnam
Style.' And of course, there's you, the cunning observer, ready to snatch victory with
a well-timed pop culture reference.
But fear not, trivia newbies! This isn't brain surgery (although some questions might
make you question your basic knowledge). It's a chance to unleash your inner
smartypants, learn something new, and most importantly, have a good laugh – even
if it's at your mate's complete and utter guess on the capital of Mongolia (it's
Ulaanbaatar, by the way, for future reference).
So, grab your team, your thinking caps (or beer hats, no judgement!), and get
ready to put your knowledge to the test with a sample round from The Forest
