I Aint Playin No Tambourine, Fool

I really like this jokes round classic, handed in by MRS MANGEL team at The Newsroom last week:

The Bald & The Beautiful = WIN!

That Bald and The Beatiful were winners at Jenny’s last night. Can you tell who is who…

No one could win the money though, after a bitch-of-a-question about zebras in the First World War. Ow!

Sixty quid next week.

One Swell Foop Retire After Reverie Victory

ONE SWELL FOOP have had their moments over the last few months but now Euan has a job in Norwich making sugar and the team is dissolving like saccharine in tea.

One Swell Foop win one last time

One Swell Foop win one last time

They quit on a high with victory at the Reverie last night, with Paige holding her nerve to win an amazing game of Bozonko vs. the powerhouse that is Mister T.

Not the actual Mister T, mind – just a white bloke in an A-Team T-shirt.

So, SIXTY QUID plus WINE and good night Vienna.

Next Week: Bring someone who lives in EH9 for extra points

Bad Answer: Naked Ornament

Picture in the picture round:

Question: What is the name of this world-famous statue?

Answer:

I think they have mistake a statue for an ornament and spelled that “oriniment”.

Obviously knowing that they were short on the answer, they’ve gone down the route of providing as much information as they can. Like the fact he’s naked. Pure genius!

Four Door Banana

Here’s a great example of a joke which I think is excellent but simply didn’t do very well in the jokes round and lost out – probably to some paedophilia number.

Get a Name, You Winners!

Potentially one of the most succesful teams at Dr Paul quiz is this mob:

But the trouble is they keep changing their name. This week they were NORMAN’S NO.

Or maybe they were called NORMAN’S NO’S. I’m not really sure. Anyway – I’m going to ask them to get a consistent team name cos they’re really good but I have no way of referring to them. Arr!

Meanwhile, SHANICK were the worst team:

Shanick - the worst pub quiz team ever

You can’t blame Shab, she was at work at HALF SIX on Thursday morning and was absolutely knackered by the time the quiz happened.

And BALLZACK won the jokes round but the photo resulted in such incredible red-eye that I had to photoshop-it to the point of ludicrousness:

By the way – total TRUE OR FALSE FAILURE by both teams in the final on this question:

True or False: A group of showmakers from the Philippines made a pair of giant shoes which were size 753

And that was enoguh to ensure a rollover. £50 next week.

Sudden Death at Bar 50

Smart City Hostel Cafe is now Bar 50 and its loads cooler than it used to be. Nice refurb.

The quiz has no cash jackpot as yet and so it was sudden death true or false for the stunning prize of a CASE OF STELLA last night.

Kev and Jenny (am I remembering these names right?) got the first one right:

True or False: a boy once became a karate black belt at the age of six.

But Kev got this one wrong:

True or False: A French judge was once caught having a wank in court.

And so THE ITHER TEAM became mega Stella booze champs. Wicketty Wah.
