Nobby the Pub Quiz Team Mascot


Yes that's right! I have a new role. 

I'd noticed how, from time to time Gail disappears down the road to a mystery destination for a couple of hours in the evening, leaving me home alone. 

She tends to come back muttering things like "if only we'd known that Richard was the older of the Carpenter twins, we might have won..."

This week the mystery was revealed and Gail took me along with her to the pub quiz, which takes place every other Tuesday evening just a five minute walk away at the 'Inn at the Park'. It turns out she is a (not very valuable) member of 'Team Indecisives', the others being local friends Kirsty, Monica and Cathy. 

I soon learned that her team is aptly named. You won't believe how long they spent debating who was the longest serving British Prime Minister, or which of the Spice Girls was first to release a solo album.

But guess what? This week, obviously only BECAUSE I WAS PRESENT, they actually won! 

Oh and did I mention I behaved impeccably throughout?

So where are my treats? In Cathy's bag perhaps...

  2. Now that you've brought them good luck Nobby, in future they will take you with them. Then you'll be able to name your "price"! A selection of superior treats would be most fitting don't you think?
    Love,

  3. You are the lucky charm, Nobby, and we hope you get to go with Gail to the pub every week! So did Cathy's bag contain anything yummy?!

    Well, Nobby, pawhaps your presence distracted other teams sufficiently that they didn't apply themselves as well as usual... or pawhaps, Team Indecisives really did get their act into gear - either way, it is down to you being there, so absolutely means you must attend each week! ... and I note that you have bag-diving in common with your predecessor... hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

  5. Nobby, I am thinking you are more of a "lucky charm" than a "mascot" butt you could be both, maybe they will double the treats next time. Can't wait to see if they win again the next time you go with them

  6. Nobby OMDs I knew you were special but I had no idea you were a lucky charm.
    I think all Gail's team members need to come to Quiz Night with treats

  10. Nobby, I'm jealous. I rather like pubs - especially ones the stoke up a respectable fireplace in the winter time. You're a 'lucky' k9 - interpret that any way that best suits your arguments. Paw smacks Mr T

  11. Hooray! You helped your Mom's team win! Maybe a nose dive into her bag might be more productive of those longed for treats! Though that nice big one might hold a lot more, BOL!

  12. My mum never goes out without me and her eating and drinking places are always determined by them being 'dog friendly'. Good show to the Team.

  13. Well, Lady would fit on that team if they were looking for people who weren't that helpful! Clearly you are the key so the team should be Nobby's Indecisives. Looks like you have been having some grand adventures! We wish we could be so muddy. Lee and Phod

  14. Congratulations, Nobby! That's a rather bold move in the last picture; you might want to practice something more subtle.

  15. Hi young friend, Ojo here! Well done! Clearly they must bring you every time! And they must bring lots of treats, too!

  16. How fun! We bet that you were the team's good luck charm and now they will not even think to play without you there!
