Pub Quiz

I have finally found a place that does pub quizzes in Singapore! While at Muddy Murphy's a couple of weeks ago, I spoke to the bar staff about whether they ran a regular pub quiz and even volunteered to run one myself. Apparently, they used to have a weekly quiz at the Penny Black, a second outlet at Boat Quay, but it fizzled out due to the lack of interest.

Thankfully, he recommended that I check out the Old Brown Shoe, a little British pub located on Bukit Timah Road, as they had a weekly pub quiz going every Wednesday. In fact, I recall seeing the Old Brown Shoe on a number of occasions whilst being driven down Bukit Timah Road, and commenting more than once that it looked like an interesting establishment that was worth checking out.

Anyhow, through a convoluted process of internet googleing, I managed to obtain the Old Brown Shoe's telephone number. I called the proprietor and was informed that they did have a pub quiz every Wednesday and that the place was "full to bursting" every week. She agreed to reserve me a spot at the bar next Wednesday so that I could take part in the quiz.

I'm definitely well pleased by this. I remember all those wonderful Tuesday evenings at the Turf Tavern in Oxford doing their pub quiz with great fondness. Yes, I'm obsessed. No, I don't need help. Quiz, beer, and a good English pub. Can't wait till Wednesday.
