Pub Quiz - Test Your General Knowledge

Last night I went to Flanagan's Irish Pub's Murphy's Pub Quiz. Wow, that's a lot of apostrophes!

We came in 6th out of 14 teams. Not fantastic but not too shabby, either.

Here are some of the questions we got. Stars indicate questions we got right. Two stars mean I was the one that provided the correct answer. :)

The picture round was a collection of 10 celebrities who's pictures were shown in negative. We could have had all of them right except we didn't write down Renée Zellweger, even though we did think it might be her.

The music round consisted of Eurovision Song Festival songs. "All we had to do" was write down what country it was from. Embarrassingly, we even managed to get 4 right out of ten. The winning team had 7 right. Ew.

It was a fun night, though. I forgot how much fun a pub quiz could be.

PS: Answers to quiz questions in the comments. I may even get around to letting you know what the official answers were! ;)
