Trivia at Unity Hall Hotel

Tuesday 23rd October 2013 at 7:30pm

Clearly this trivia has the highest probability of winning a prize in Sydney, as with prizes for the top three places and average attendance being around five teams, you are as close to guaranteed winning something as you could possibly get.  The prizes are also nothing to sneeze at either, with $100 for the winner, $50 for second place and a fine $5 bottle of wine for those coming in third.  They also have a free drink for the true or false section, if the temporary lady hosting it is able to find the questions this week.

The previously dominate Black Caviar is sadly struggling in recent weeks, due to we suspect the tragic passing of their intelligent players. The remaining members it would appear are merely coming for the free sliders as budget cuts at their nursing home has meant that this is their cafeteria on Wednesday night.

Pink Lemonade in comparison have found a new lease of life with the addition of a trivia genius who is playing the long game in picking up girls through accruing an endless supply of bar tab winnings, which they proudly display on their table to intimidate us lesser rivals. Those arrogant prats! We are hoping that in the near future after his attempts to get them drunk on these winnings and back in his bed, it will become much too awkward for any of them to return.  Alternatively hopefully someone else in the pub may choose to shoot him as he argues with the host over the grammatical errors within her questions.

It is unclear as to whom the host will be this week, whether we shall see the return of Brett "Guitar" Murphy or we shall continue with our lovely female host, but it is important to get there this week as given the attendance numbers I do not believe it will be continuing for too much longer.  I book in first sip on our wine if we are successful in winning it once again.
