After a legend-sized battle head to head with DOM AND THE NON-DOMS, a hastily cobbled-together squad called THE SOUTHSIDE DIPLOMATS came back from a slow start and eventually won the quiz by five clear points. However, Ian from the team (pictured, right) missed the answer to this trivia question: What colour does the moon appear [...]

The Three Stooges used to show up at the Smart City Hostel quiz and put in a Monday appearance at Jenny Ha’s. The move paid off when they brushed aside the opposition and landed themselves a bottle of highest-quality PLONK for coming first. Unfortunately the trivia challenge was a bridge too far and that let [...]

When this joke was first told, dinosaurs still walked the Earth. I can’t remember, but I get the feeling this one was handed in at Jenny Ha’s. Share on Facebook For cheats and hints to win Dr Paul quizzes in Edinburgh, get the weekly email.

Jenny Ha’s – 7pm – £20 jackpot. Excitement builds as we wait to see if the official Jenny Ha’s fag break will exceed last week’s record of SIX SMOKERS. Reverie – 9pm. £60 is up for grabs in the Golden Putt. Scandinavian sports-adonis Bengt uncharacteristically screwed up last week. Will we get a winner tonight? [...]

Minority Report asks whether we should arrest people based of psychological evidence that they WILL commit crimes. Don’t rule it out as we head for a global era of poverty, recession and repression. And if it does go that way, watch what you doodle at the pub quiz. Doodles like this may be enough to [...]

Pub quiz superman Bengt was back from a stint in Germany in which he claims he was NOT killing German people. Of course, the presence of the Swede meant that his team DOM & THE NON DOMS made turnips out of the other teams and finished winners by a clear four points. Bengt will always [...]

Jenny Ha’s Monday night pub quiz reverberated to the sound of a thousand dreams this week, most of them being shattered by automatic legends THE TEAM WITH NO NAME who teamed up with Jenny’s resident brain box, Stuart, to dominate the quiz from start to finish. There was hardly any point in the final, so [...]

Last Sunday I was in Glasgow to audition for The Chase, which piloted on ITV 1 last year and is back this year for a full series. Unfortunately the audition clashed with Old Firm day, so although I got a whole table to myself at Waverley, the train filled up at Haymarket with a herd [...]

Jenny Ha’s has a lot going for it. The staff are friendly. You can always geta beer. The banter is slightly weird sometimes, but that’s all part of the fun. But one of the unique faceets of the pub on quiz night is the Jenny Ha’s Fag Break! Not many pub quizzes have their own [...]

Thanks to Brian from THE DUDE ABIDES who sent me some papers from last year’s quizzing Grand Prix in Cardiff. What the hell is a quiz “Grand Prix”? Does it smell of petrol and involve small bikinis? Well, beyond the gentle life of pub quiz, real quiz-heads like to regularly get together up and down [...]
