Ready, Set, Pub

Do you know what Ireland was called by the Roman empire? How 'bout what they called Scotland? Perhaps you know what country's national airline is LOT?
If you know the answers to these sorts of questions you might do well at the Irish phenomenon of pub quiz. I've never been a whiz at Trivial Pursuits and I was even less brilliant at the pub quiz, but even so I LOVED every minute of it. It isn't about winning or the losing but about whispering possible answers to your teammates, trying to surreptitiously cheat off your friends at the table next to you, and being outright delighted when you actually hear a question you know the answer to.
It reminds me of good game nights of aggressive charades, liars dice at a dive bar, or even the impromptu game of 20 questions played the night I met Mark.
K1: "Which of you is most likely to buy a round for everyone?"
Boys in unison: "Mark."
Mark: "Irish car bomb, anyone?"
Me: Okay!
Good thing the guys didn't think to ask which of the girls was most likely to puke at the end of the night. Mark might have thought twice about that cab ride home.
But I digress. Back to the pub quiz...
What Canadian singer performed in Switzerland...?
never mind the rest of the question: CELINE DION! CELINE DION! I mean, c'mon is there another famous Canadian singer? Mark hates it when I say this which is why it is included here, not to mention the fact that Celine Dion was the correct answer.
As for the other answers: the Romans called Ireland Hibernia, Scotland was referred to as Caledonia, and Poland is home to the airline LOT.
You gotta love it when a night of drinking makes you smarter.
