wish I could come, but I will be in the US. Should I pick up the whisky from the dutyfree for the next one?

Count me in. Even thou I have to come over to the 'other' side.

dmb, what about working out some questions about Turkey.

You know somthing like how many il's are there or what's car plate number for Yalova. Wink

Btw way do work out or own teams or will we be able to find a team when we get there.

Either form your own teams or you should be able to join a team when you get here. Ersin, the manager, has a pub quiz book so questions will be asked from this. I've hired out the top floor so only people upstairs doing the quiz will be there. The questions will be general knowledge. we did think about including some questions about Turkey but decided this would be unfair to some people.
Yaramaz, we plan to start at 9.00 but you know what's like. (I'd suggest you make your own team before you arrive.)

Sorry I can't help with the topics to bone up on Baba(that sounds rude)

If it is a success, more will be planned in the future.

the whisky is mine so do not long to possess it . why dont you add some questions about Turkish literature and history ( i told u the whisky is mine) Can we cheat? i mean are you going to collect all the mobile phones? If i cant come can i join online? Is there a catagory for the kids? maybe my son could win a bottle of milk.

Yeah, can we?

I had a pm about this. If you have 5 in a team then everyone will want five. I don't have any objection but if a team of five won there would be riots in the streets of Beyoglu.
whynotme, I'd like questions about Turkey too, but I'm afraid that decision is up to the quizmaster who doesn't read this forum.

btw the format will be afirst half of 20-30 questions then a break. In the break all papers will be passed round and marked by other teams(tefly or what), then the second half continues. Any disagreements about answers will be settled by the quizmaster.

I may do a bit of rioting, but I also promise to share my whisky...
