Quiz group – January/February 2026

What a quiz to start off 2026: Remember 2025, More or Less, Last things, AV, Blue songs and the ever present General Knowledge round.

Looking at the scores, a couple of teams got a 10 out of 10 score but never played their joker in the appropriate round. Whereas one team got maximum points and played their joker in that round. There were a couple of nines doubled up with the joker. So overall not a bad evening.

Blue songs was a great round but the group members struggled to get points on the board when it came to Last things.

• So, which city hosted the 2025 Global Climate leaders conference?
• Does a pint of Heineken beer have more or less calories than a Gregg’s sausage roll?
• Who was the last Kaiser of Germany?
• What name do Audi give to their Estate cars?
• Who had a 1984 hit with the song ‘Blue Jean?’
• What costing 37 pence was abolished in 1987?

For the second quiz we turned our attention to General Knowledge, USA States, DA TV shows, Numbers within words, That’s juicy and Spotty. A mixed bag of goodies!

Would you have known the following answers?

• “I’ll have what she’s having” is a famous line from the film ‘When Harry met Sally’
• Tulsa is in the state of Oklahoma
• Danger Mouse was an animated TV series featuring the voices of David Jason and Terry Scott
• Halle Berry, Eartha Kitt and Michelle Pfeiffer have all played the role of ‘Cat Woman’
• Between 1998 and 2021 Tropicana was a popular fruit juice brand of Pepsi Co
• Spotty Muldoon was a fictional character created by Peter Cook

We had two 10 out of 10 scores and without the jokers played the DA TV shows would have been the best scoring round.

However, realising the score of the ‘It’s juicy round’, I just hope the group members are drinking the right sort of juice for any ailment they might have.

So the group has got off to a good start and the February quizzes will be on Mondays 8th and the 23rd.
