thought as much. coward

Wikipedia:rolleyes:. Is that a substitute for learning or something?

@Julio Geordio is getting up to stage three here.

As a former Cross Country quiz winner I would have answered Marengo. Perhaps the question could have been worded better.

Sorry mate. I hadn’t realised you were serious about us going to some table quiz and going head to head :smiley:

You fucking ape.

:smiley:
Art has challenged me to take him on head to head in a table quiz FFS.
I can imagine the two of us sitting at 4 person tables on our own exchanging looks of contempt

This reminds me of the time @Julio Geordio[/USER] took on lapsed poster [USER=116]@The Dunph[/USER] and ended up getting destroyed. Unrepentant Fenian [USER=179]@artfoley has torn him to shreds here.

[QUOTE=“Fagan ODowd, post: 1115549, member: 706”]Just read up a bit there on the subject of Napoleons horses and there is no historical reference to him ever riding a horse called Marengo, so this appears to be a myth.

He did however ride a steed called Monsieur Edward and a stallion called Nicolas, so yet again Horsebox and art are comprehensively vindicated.[/QUOTE]
Thank you, Fagan.

@Onthesod please edit your response to my post to Correct, Correct, Correct, Correct.

Sounds like this was a shoddily prepared quiz, with the quiz-master leaving himself open to serious abuse. Nothing reflects worse on a quiz-master than having to say “we’ve decided to accept both answers”.

As a former Blackboard Jungle quarter finalist I would have answered Marengo.

Marengo was the answer the QM wanted - We had answered Mons Edward but alas did’nt get the point… I had not envisaged as lively a debate as this when I put up the Question… Wikipedia seems to be the main source of information for pub quizzes. Unfortunately we did not use it friday night!! Still won it but I will have this debate in waiting for the next time I meet said QM

Said amendment is made

I would have to agree, there was an element of this. As it was a fundraising event, on cool consideration, I decided to overlook it for the sake of relations with the outlaws

In the light of the use of the word “horrendous” being used today on the travellers thread, here’s a quick question…
Four words in the English language end in “dous” horrendous being one of them.
Any offers for the other three?
