Sunday Buffy Sunday at The Macbeth
Sunday 15th May
Having subjected my boyfriend to morning after morning of breakfast Buffy episodes and owing my general life's outlook to the slayer ("you can't do that, it's wrong"), I am other planet peppy about this upcoming event in May. Giving grave gobblers and Sunnydale suckers the event they deserve, the Macbeth is set to host a Buffy themed quiz with drinking games, episodes, Bloody Punch and fingers crossed, my chance to seduce Spike.
If you know Buffy like the back of your own hand, and the person's hand next to you, then this is the pub quiz for you.
