The team that bought a drink for a Korean patron who wasn’t even playing trivia because we asked a question about Korean animal sounds.
The British team who insisted they be allowed to answer with the British Prime Minister instead of the Australian Prime Minister on a history question… and then getting it wrong anyway.
