The Typing Pool circa 2005
January 4th throughout history:
46 BC – Julius Caesar defeats Titus Labienus in the Battle of Ruspina.
871 – Battle of Reading: Æthelred of Wessex fights, and is defeated by, a Danish army.
1649 – English Civil War: Charles I put on trial.
1847 – Samuel Colt sells his first revolver pistol to the United States government.
1959 – Luna 1 becomes the first spacecraft to reach the vicinity of the Moon.
1999 – Former professional wrestler Jesse Ventura becomes governor of Minnesota.
2005 – The Pub Quiz takes place at The Office for the very first time.
Of course, as is typical with history, the longer ago it was, the less information is available about what happened. And the Quiz is no different. The first league season began in October 2005, ten months after the first ever quiz-night. The only thing that was recorded that season was the name of the final winning team. The same happened in the first Summer Leagues that followed and in fact, it wasn't until 2008 that scores were posted regularly online and are still available to see. All those records can be accessed here, while below you can see a summary of the all the Quiz seasons since 2005/06.

Green Monster and the Chimney Sweeping Rocket Pigs save been the most successful teams in Pub Quiz history with a total of 2 Regular Season wins each since 2005. The Rocket Pigs edge it though having won more Summer League titles. The Libertines have also won 3 times, but twice in the Summer Leagues and only once in the Regular Season, making them the next most successful team. Next are the Chimney Sweeping Rocket Pigs, Big Load and Where Is My Mind? who each have 2 wins - one Regular Season and one Summer Leagues. Maybe we should have a tie-breaker? |
