Good name for a pub quiz - not a 'team' exactly...

So having moved house I have nothing in the fridge and popped out for some dinner earlier. Then went by my lovely local for a glass of wine... and it's pub quiz night. Usually I would just bugger off early, but friends and I have been talking about doing this for ages, so I kind of want to trial it out. Also a very nice man at the next table has brought in a massive map of Swansea in 1897 and my house is on there! So I sort of committed to staying... and will be switching to Coca Cola in about an hour so as not to be fuzzy. I have no expectations of winning, of course, but what's a good name for a solo pub quiz player? Anything other than Norma No Mates! Ideas?!

Sorry if my title was misleading.

Usually I'd be up for a good speed date - but since moving house I have no idea where my hairbrush has gone. I'm trying to be arty and pile it all on my head! Definitely not date-ready!

I love that too. Although it always makes me think about her partner who disappeared. I need to probably stop watching true crime on YouTube to be fair...

Pretty sure this was meant as the name. It’s a good one!

Agatha Quiztie?

Funnily enough I asked at the bar about usual teams and names to avoid and apparently Agatha Quiztie win every week! I am definitely coming bottom... I hope I get to go home with a wooden spoon at least!

Oh duh! Yes! It's great! Thank you, I didn't get that at all!

Although I am looking especially unappealing tonight! Can't find my bloody eyeliner and my hair is a birds nest!

‘Not a team’ is a good one
‘not a team player
Not a team exactly
stayed for the quiz

Arlanymor · 11/03/2026 19:04

I mean I didn't even get the joke of the brilliant: I thought this was speed dating.

I don't have a chance in hell do I? Oh well, starts at 8pm, in for a penny and in for a pound!
