User:Elboy44/Crotus 4

Crotus 4 are now known as a formidable Pub Quiz team from the Borehamwood region of Herfordshire comprising of the The Welsh One and The Bulky One. As of 2-11-2011 they have an impressive record of 8 1st places and 4 2nd places in 11 quizzes (One quiz featured a first and second place just to prove a point).

It should be noted that imposters such as `Crotus 5' and `The Real Crotus 4' are in no way related to or neither have they spawned from the legend which is Crotus 4. However, they once entered the pub quiz as `The Continuety Crotus 4' in a direct response to 'The Real Crotus 4'. This was a one-time change of name.

The Happy Chappies from Crotus 4 will, next year, be spreading the word of Crotus on a 2 week whistle-stop tour of Las Vegas and California. You may recognise them by their unusual street garb - featuring a foaming top hat, optical trial lens frames and wizard's beards and of course their patented Crotus 4 T-shirts.

The Crotus 4 boys were due to release a Christmas single in 2011. They were to record a version of Gary Glitter's `Another Rock n' Roll Christmas', because lets' face it, you're not going to hear the original on any Now That's What I Call Xmas any time soon. Unfortunately, due to a total absence of desire, recording facilities and a general lackadaisical attitude to the whole shebang, this failed to materialise.

The Welsh end of the Crotus conundrum likes to take a drink or two is is rather partial to foul-smelling single malts, wheres the Bulky side of the order prefers to embibe on usually non-alcoholic and carbonated beverages, but at his description suggests, is more than partial to a more solid form of nourishment. He now sports a beard and his work collegues now see him as a Zac Galiafianakis (of The Hangover fame) look-a-like.

Welsh is now off the grain and hops and Bulky has shed some bulk. However, be very aware that the old Crotus magic remains....in spades.

Crotus 4 (or Coitus 4) as the pub quiz question master has consisitently mis-read for months, have now increased their number to 4. It now includes `Stripey' (now Formula 1) Joe and `Italian' Joe as regular members. Stripey and Bulky can often be seen laughing at remembering semi-obscure 1970's singles by artists such as Rupert Holmes, Foxx and Exile.

It has now been 15 months featuring about 40 wins and 10 or so 2nd places. On one occasion they finished last due to the pub manageress slipping every other team the answers. She has now been `moved on'. Other names used recently have included Scrotus 4, Coitus 4 and A Handfull of Bollocks - just for variation.

They have not paid for a carvery all year and have a backlog of free meal vouchers; enough to keep in them flat Yorkshires, dried out carrots and congealed gravy for a long, long time.

Recently, after a string of victories the pub manageress has taken herself on a crusade to upset the Crotus 4 apple cart. A rare slip by Bulky gave the team their first ever disqualification. This will not go unpunished as it gave The Never Hasbeens a first, overdue and indeed undeserved quiz victory. This will not happen again and that's a guarantee.

It can now be revealed that the four members of Crotus 4 are being joined (with at least three others) on a return trip to Sin City - Las Vegas. It will be momentous.

The trip to Las Vegas was almost a year ago now (Nov. '13) and was a tremendous success, apart from Dave who didn't particularly like paying his way. The adventure is still talked about with great affection and laughter. Crotus 4, due to a couple of members being barred from life from The Toby, now frequent The Mops and Brooms in Borehamwood. However, infrequent returns to The Toby has afforded them 3 quiz successes in a row. The first wins for almost a year.

The group, now down to five members will be returning to The States in November 2014 for another crack at Las Vegas after five days in La la Land. It promises to be a blast.

CROTUS 4 BABY!!!
