Researching a jackpot question for next month about the origin of various drinks (Vimto, Bovril, Irn Bru, etc) led me to this amazing Bovril advert from the early 20th Century. Intersting. I’m no expert but it looks like The Pope is drinking a two litre flagon of the brown-and-beefy stuff and has just won a [...]

The team name QUIZ TEAM AGUILERA is the NORFOLK AND CHANCE of the 21st century and is now woefully old and hackneyed. Please do not use it. A much better celebrity pub quiz team name turned up on Monday at Reverie when we were joined by QUIZTOPHER BIGWINS (as in Safari – So Goody) This [...]

The Burns Night quiz gave us a great contest, finally won by BURNS’S BOYS who claimed that they guessed all the answers. Whatever works!

The team was called KEV’S GOING TO COME LAST but this turned out to be the worst prediction of the night as Kev stormed to a draw finish with WEE AND VICIOUS and them took them out on the sudden death trivia. Class. Kev also passed the challenge to face the ultimate question but stumbled [...]

FDGT star Pierce and block-rockin pal Pete were the champs at the Reverie last night, going by the name of BENJI OVER. It was a proper ding-dong battle as BENGT INC and THE MIND CRUSHERS and THE TEAM WITH NO NAME all swapped the lead but in the last round it was BENJI OVER’s bravery [...]

Two spectacular wrong answers last night. First of all at Jenny Ha’s came this question in a round entitled “The Seventies”: Q. What year in the 1970s were Dannii Minogue, Ewan MCGregor and Gary Barlow all born. A. 1961 And then, up at the Reverie was a picture question, a night-city skyline full of skyscapers [...]
