Primera leccion de culturilla general londinense: los pub quizzes.
Segun definicion de la Royal Wikipedia Academy,
"Pub quizzes (also known as trivia, or table quizzes) are often weekly events and will have an advertised start time, most often in the evening.
While specific formats vary, most pub quizzes depend on answers being written in response to questions which may themselves be written or announced by a quizmaster.
Generally someone (either one of the bar staff or the person running the quiz) will come around with pens and quiz papers, which may contain questions or may just be blank sheets for writing the answers on. A mixture of both is common, in which case often only the blank sheet is to be handed in. Often the pub expects that paper should be split in two - one half to hand in and one half to be kept as a record of the answers." ( todo esto es para rellenar).

Se celebran entre semana en los bares, son bastante populares y muy british. Es lo mas parecido a un concurso chorra de la tele de media tarde. En lugar de presentadora famosilla de turno mostrando escote tenemos a la amable camarera polaca que se costea los gastos aguantando babosos. Como en la tele, vaya.
Se hacen liguillas semanales e incluso los hay con premios. Y para los que no ganaron, el consuelo es pillarte un ciego un martes por la tarde con tus amigotes (falks), companieros de curro(coleagues) o incluso tu jefe (bastard). Aunque de momento no estoy en condiciones de asegurarlo, creo qu hay quien se apunte a varias ligas. Una por cada dia de la semana.
Si bien se podria comparar con nuestra liga de baloncesto dominical por eso de juntarte con los amigotes, es justo decir que en los pub quizzes no te lesionas (salvo situaciones extremas), no sudas tanto, (salvo situaciones extremas) y haces muy buenas tablas con los rivales (especialmente en situacioes exrtremas). 

Todo un descubrimiento.
Cheers,
