VIRTUAL PUB QUIZ NIGHT

During this strange and uncertain time we're living in, one thing myself and Tom have been doing at least twice a week with friends and family, is a virtual Pub Quiz night! We've been thoroughly enjoying doing it and honestly, when all is back to normal and people have their own plans each week, virtual pub quiz night may not stick around forever which makes me very sad! Who knows, maybe we all feel the same and may agree to continue the lockdown tradition even outside of lockdown...

Either way, we have hosted a few of the quizzes already, so for anyone else due to host a quiz, or even if you want to just take part and enjoy doing it yourself, I thought I would share my questions and answers on here for you guys! Also if you're wondering what video platform we've been using to virtually meet up, we have been mostly using Zoom, but also Houseparty for the more impromptu catch up with friends.

So here goes...
