I picked up a little job writing questions about the Italian national football team, the Azzuri. Naturally, the first flush of research has resulted in several hours wasted invested looking at old-school football porn on the internet like this: I’ll get round to actually writing some quesitons as soon as Arie Haan scores that 40-yarder… [...]

The Newsroom is a sweet bar with loads of booze for sale on Leith Street. In case you don’t know, Leith St is not in Leith: its in the city centre at the East End of Princes St and the bar is opposite the front door of the St James Centre. Anyway, ultimate winners were [...]

Ahh, the old Tolkein in my sleep Hobbit joke. What I really like about this particular entry is the fact that the team have taken the care and the effort to write (“pun on talking”) in brackets in case I’m too thick to get it… … and then decided to score it out. What? In [...]

I was broadcasting a wee quiz on Leith FM today on Alan “Cuddly” Dudley’s show. I did a wee Spring quiz just after the news at 3pm. Leith FM rocks hard. It’s a PROPER local radio station with actual people on it instead of ‘local’ radio which is owned and programmed from afar. Have a [...]

Dan and Alana both work in the Reverie. Alana brings in her JLS CD. While Alan is on her break, Dan finds the CD, pops it on and is disgusted. He demonstrates exactly what he thinks, via marker. Share on Facebook

Jenny Ha’s last night: King of Comedy, Dusty, nearly won the jokes round without even handing in a joke, such was the abysmal quality of the material available. In the end it was the 2 G’s who took away a copy of “Management” starring Jennifer Aniston. How will I explain the absence of this DVD [...]

The Reverie, last night: The golden putt edged one foot closer to the hole last night as an Irish bloke called Gleep from GLEEPS GO MEEP MEEP putted for £80. Gleep himself (second from right) took plenty of time sussing out the lie of the land (conventional wisdom now says the ball breaks from right [...]

One of the quiz teams at the Reverie on Monday was called EASY LIONEL. Nice name I thought, and presumed this was something to do with smooth legend Lionel Richie, but it is in fact a tribute to another Lionel, fae Glasgow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89fhfPoHOuE Scenes like these are one of the reasons I miss Glasgow.

This one was handed in by a team at the Reverie, where animals are generally treated quite well. Blind people with AND animals get hurt in this two-for-the-price-of-one joke. Share on Facebook For cheats and hints to win Dr Paul quizzes in Edinburgh, get the weekly email.

Monday at the Reverie saw another drawing contest instead of the old jokes round. This time the challenge was to draw a dinosaur with a job. Here’s what we got: This nearly won. It’s a brontosaurus working in a pub, serving a very drunk T-Rex and was handed in by QUIZ TEAM AGUILERA This was [...]
