Brilliant wrong answer the other night. In the picture round, I asked teams to guess when the world’s first known photograph was taken. Get within 20 years for the points.
Right answer was 1826 and quite a few teams got points, some others guessed a bit late, maybe as late as the 1890s.
But there was a pair of Americans who brilliantly guessed at 1436. Nearly 400 years out – which would explain the lack of photos of Christopher Columbus.

Quite often I see people are too pissed to continue the quiz, but last Monday was more unusual.
After two rounds at the Brass Monkey Leith, one bloke gave me his pen and sheets and told me, very politely:
“Sorry dude, we can’t do any more of the quiz – I’ve had too much ketamine today.”
Fair enough. Hope its worn off in time for tonight.

The bonus round challenge here was to list ten famous people whose name rhymes with a place in Scotland.
The Donald Trump one is kinda true-but-wrong, if you know what I mean.

Hi *|FNAME|* Here’s some wee nuggets from my week in quiz:
- I’ve seen some poor dance-offs in my time, but most disappointing is the kind of scenario we had at the Newsroom on Thursday where some Canadian bird seemed bang up for it and then just danced like an aunty. Let down. But well done to Shona for whom the resulting win was pretty easy.
- The Newsroom is shut for a few weeks – A big refurb is happening and apparently the place is going to be transformed into a satellite-space-zoo-disco with working animals and lasers and everything*.
- When the Newsroom re-opens I’m thinking of doing jackpot/rollover rather than must-be-won. What do you think?
- They keep running out of Cafe Patron at the Reverie cos it is the lushest drink ever. If you see some behind the bar, order it immediately cos it won’t be there for long.
Cheat Phrase
“I’LL SEE YOU ON THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON”

Winners
This is Hugo who easily won “best top” at the Reverie last Monday using his connections, privileges and good-start-in-life to sweep away the competitive threat from any oiks who happened to be on his land.
Joke
From a recent quiz jokes round:
I’ve just been reading a joke about anti-gravity.
I just can’t put it down!

NOT IN A CREEPY WAY
I particularly like the 214s which was a team made up of women who used to work in Asda (or one of the supermarkets – can’t remember which). There was a picture of an aubergine on the picture round so they named themselves the 214s because 214 was the PLU (price look up) code for Aubergines.
