Date Night 3 - The Hairy Slug

This past Tuesday we spent a very entertaining evening with the locals (and some not so locals) at The Slug and Hare (aka the Hairy Slug) in Mandurah. It was Quiz night - similar to our trivia nights, but no technology involved and more interactive. You could arrive in teams of 4 or 5, or get put with a group. We ended up with two guys from Melbourne who are out here on business (mining of course). Great way to meet people.

The night ran for a couple hours with 5 rounds of 10 questions each, plus a set of photos of people to identify. We were doing quite well by 1/2 time (when they supplied pizza for all) to which point the questions were quite generic. At one point, I thought I had scored our table a free pitcher of beer with my answer to "a 4 under par golf shot" - unfortunately for my team mates, it's not a double albatross, but rather a condor (which I may now remember should there ever be a need to know that again). By the last half however, the questions turned Aussie (along with the photos), and then VERY local - questions on local Mandurah trivia. Our team fell apart at that point!

The evening ended with an open round of joke telling - of course there are no repeatable ones that either Michael or I can remember!

So we left the pub having to forfeit the dinner gift certificate to another group. Guess we'll have to study next time.

And since we have to have at least one "Monty photo" on each post, here's a peaceful shot from an evening visit to the beach this week.
