Quiz reports from Blind Poet, Bar 50, Smart City Hostel, Jenny Ha’s
Now, of course there are always plenty of low swine who delight in the latest human tragedy.
The recent Japanese Tsunami unleashed a trickle of jokes-round nightmares, but none of them had anything on the Blind Poet who posted this on their Facebook on the morning the news was breaking:
They apologised later and removed it but not before I got the screenshot. Opportunity marketing at its sharpest!

Jamie works behind the bar at Jenny Ha’s and is noted for her styles de la fashion.
Also, she’s pretty handy with the music round and usually helps Dusty defy the odds and come through to be a leading force by the time we get to round 4.
However, Jamie wasn’t behind the bar on Monday and took the chance to slip over to table in booth number one and join NICKS BIRDS, who proceeded to teach the rest of the pub a lesson.
Nice victory, especially considering that THE DUDE ABIDES were back in town and they’ve been on Eggheads, Mastermind, Postcode Challenge, the lot.
So Dusty was left high and dry and was consequently shite at the quiz, but you’ll be glad to know that apart from that, he’s all right.
Wine for the folks above but no cash winner by the way – £80 next week.

After a few weeks in the doldrums, The Chancers were back to full strength and staged a brilliant comeback at Jenny Ha’s on Monday to claim the title.
Unfortunately, they were, along with The Usual Suspects, defeated on the True or False and we have a £60 rollover jackpot next week.
The killer question:
True or False: The largest battery in the world weighs 1300 tons and is the size of a football pitch?
They said false, but its true. It’s in Alaska

After the big £160 jackpot, Jenny’s was a little quieter on Monday. It oculd also have been the pishin rain.
No matter, as boss Nicki stormed to victory with pal Audrey and the wine went back under the counter (I think). Audrey, however is not staff so was allowed to try and win the £20 True or False challenge. And that’s exactly what she did.
The critical question was
True or False: children who eat margarine while growing up rather than butter are more likely to develop hay fever.
Well done to Audrey for spotting the bullshit.
£20 next week!

Katy finally slew the TRUE or FALSE dragon last night with 5 out of 5 and a super duper £160 win before she moves to Glasgow forever.
Here are the 5 she got right. Would you have answered correctly?
Tough as hell – but Katy pulled through and ONE SWELL FOOP, disguised as “ONE LAST PUSH” were cash champions, while THE THREE STOOGES (minus Conor) were booze champs.
Back to £20 next week.

Monday 30th August 2010, an amazing FIFTEEN people took part in the Jenny Ha’s Fag Break.
Here are those record breakers in full and I’m gutted I didn’t get a better photo. When will I learn to TURN THE FUCKING FLASH ON?
You can join in the fun next Monday, either just after or just before the music round – depending on how its going…
Will we ever beat 15?

The GANG were 2-in-a-row champs at Jenny’s and once again chose to send Craig into battle to represent for the £120 final.
Craig found himself up against the legendary Dusty but neither could get past the first question and taht set up a £140 jackpot for next week.
Happier news: the Fag Break record was beaten and we now have a record of TWELVE PEOPLE enjoying each others’ company and a smoke at half seven… just after the picture round.
Bad luck to Gareth from THE GANG whose girlfriend didn’t know he smoked until she saw the picture of last week’s fag break on Facebook. Now he’s dumped.
