It’s midweek in December, the month that’s dominated by Christmas. All I’m saying about Christmas is don’t miss out on Cunto Cards – the only gift that’s guaranteed to raise a laugh this year
Anyway, Cunto is just the sideline. The main business here is pub quiz and tonight we have NICE QUIZ for you.
Here’s the tune that’s my free answer for the music round at the Joker tonight. It’s eighties Scousers, OMD:
I always thought the singer out of OMD looked like John Collins who used to play for Hibs and Celtic.
Whaddya reckon?
I hope you like that. It took over ten minutes.
Anyway, come to the quiz and we’ll all live happily ever after.
Yo,
Dr P

We had enormous jackpot wins last Wednesday, so it’s all back to normal tonight. Will anyone turn out? We’ll see later.
7pm – The Joker & The Thief. Jackpot: £30. Cheat: One of the answers in the picture round is Bulgaria
9pm – Brass Monkey (Drummond Street). Jackpot: £30. Cheat: One of the music round hits is by Nu Generation. See video below to hear the song.
The song is a remake of an old sixties number by Fontella Bass. I only just found out that Fontella Bass is a woman, rather than the name of a band which I always thought it was.
Every day… Learning like as student.

7pm The Joker & The Thief. Jackpot: £90. Cheat: Music round contains Midge Ure (see vid)
9pm The Brass Monkey. Jackpot £30. Cheat: Pic round includes Turkish Delight
I remember 1985 when the Midge Ure video came out and everyone was freaking out about the pin-screen thing.
I’m pretty sure they did a feature about it on Blue Peter.
The pin thing was a like a revolution of entertainment.
It was as if life would never be the same again now the pin thing had arrived. Life was going to be different.
The craze lasted roughly seventeen minutes and by 1986 your pin-screen was the most passe thing of all time. You were already a retard if you still had one, despite being the coolest kid in school a matter of week earlier.
Now you can get em in the poundy and if I’m in there getting shit prizes for the quiz and I spot one, I still always think of Midge Ure.
Such was the power of this video.

Look, I don’t mind people being verbal twats right in my face.
Whether such twats are wrong or (occasionally) right, I can handle that. It’s fine. I enjoy the interactivity.
But I dinnae like snakey wee jizzers who sneak their fraudulent biros onto my posters, especially when they are totally wrong.
So if this was you, then you are at liberty to go and fuck yourself. Go fuck yourself right into a dictionary.

Here is the informational run-down for tonight’s Dr Paul quizzes in Edinburgh City
Jackpot: Stands at a rambunctious £90. That’s nice.
Cheat: One of the answers tonight is Spain (its in the picture round)
Jackpot: Is also an awe-inspiring £90. If you had that all to yourself what would you do?
Cheat: One of the answers in the music round tonight is Trash Talk. The song is called Uncivil Disobedience and it only has five thousand views on youtube:
I don’t know if Trash Talk mean every bar of it or whether they are kids who are ttrying too hard. Either way, it’s a groovy way-out sound and I’m sure they’ll go places in the hit parade.

I had a drawing contest on Wednesday at The Joker & The Thief.
The challenge was to draw Nigel Farage in a Garage. There are at least four different ways of pronouncing that sentence.
Anyway: Here are six of the best:
This one goes for reductive simplicity:
Farage has a pipe up his pipe. Wisely, he is not smoking in this one.
This one renders the UKIP mastermind as a very massive creature that looks a bit like a dog. I like this one and I can’t think why.
Nigel Farage has a solution for orphaned emigrants/travellers/refugees/migrants/incomers (etc). Put them in a garage and make them watch kinky stuff.
The malevolence of Nigel’s racism shines through in this catchy number:
And the winner was this one which has got just enough sex-stuff in it but not too much.
