The Newsroom was nice and festival-busy on Thursday night. I swear there were some “famous” folk who I kind of half-recognised kicking about but that’s Edinburgh in August for you.
This mob were the winners:
Don't You Open That Trap Door
They took the”champagne” but more interesting from my point of view were some blasts from my murky old Glasgow quizzing past.
Legendary team THE BEAST APPRECIATION SOCIETY made the crossing:
The Beast Appreciation Society
There they are. Well two of them anyway: David O’D on the left and Gary “Gary” McGary on the right. The rest have returned to Norway or become deer-handlers or quizmasters or whatever.
Oddly enough, on the same night that the BAS cropped up, so did SABREFUCK although they are all grown up now and called themselves LETS GET QUIZZICLE.
Lets Get Quizzicle aka Sabrefuck
Sabrefuck used to do pretty-well-for-a-team-of-birds at Bar Radio in Ashton Lane, Glasgow and it was good to see them again (well, two original members again but hey…)
They have kept the quality going and made it into the final but unfortunately we had no winner of the money so we are playing for a ball-busting £20 next week. Fucking wow.

£50 Out-of-Nowhere winners at the Newsroom last week were these birds, who only scraped into the final on a technicality but then steam-rollered the True/False to become BIG WINNERS.
Yeah!

Potentially one of the most succesful teams at Dr Paul quiz is this mob:
But the trouble is they keep changing their name. This week they were NORMAN’S NO.
Or maybe they were called NORMAN’S NO’S. I’m not really sure. Anyway – I’m going to ask them to get a consistent team name cos they’re really good but I have no way of referring to them. Arr!
Meanwhile, SHANICK were the worst team:
Shanick - the worst pub quiz team ever
You can’t blame Shab, she was at work at HALF SIX on Thursday morning and was absolutely knackered by the time the quiz happened.
And BALLZACK won the jokes round but the photo resulted in such incredible red-eye that I had to photoshop-it to the point of ludicrousness:
By the way – total TRUE OR FALSE FAILURE by both teams in the final on this question:
True or False: A group of showmakers from the Philippines made a pair of giant shoes which were size 753
And that was enoguh to ensure a rollover. £50 next week.

Newsroom last night:
A marvellous last round 10/10 comeback sealed an amazing comeback by the DOWN AND OUTS who started off worse than bad and just improved and improved until they were champs. Well played!
Down & Outs
The bar staff won the jokes round with some punk-ass effort about how Welsh people like to have sex with sheep. Not exactly genius, but enoguh to win an awesome mystery prize: He-Man & The Masters of The Universe JIGSAW PUZZLE!!!
Awesome quiz prize
It’s got 150 pieces so if the staff complete the puzzle in time for next week, they get another prize.
The Newsroom cash jackpot (£30) rested on golf and Bozonko. Lesley from the DOWN AND OUTS fluffed the first question on Bozonko and Katie from THE PHONE BOOTH pushed her putt slightly to the right. Result: £40 jackpot next week.

The top Newsroom team (who change their name every week) were sudden losers last night, amazing ly coming last in a quiz they are used to dominating. Ah well – that’s DP Quiz.
This allowed a newcomer squad of wimmin to charge into the lead, keep the lead and win.
They were the CLITORIS ALLSORTS and if I’m not very much mistaken, they probably have hangovers NOW.
Clitoris Allsorts, winners at Newsroom, July 08, 2010
There they are with me, feeling a sense of victory. For more photos, see the Facebook album.
For the cash jackpot we played bozonko. Bozonko is getting FIVE true or false questions correct. The Clitoris Allsorts got ZERO and the NO IDEA team got ONE.
Rollover! £30 for grabs next week.

I got my face painted for FREE as Canada fever overtook the Newsroom on Canada Day, the less well-known counterpart to the 4th of July which you all know about.
Some Canadians being patriotic at the Newsroom
But all the flag waving was for nothing as TEAM SHRUG shrugged off the Canadian ‘threat’ to come out on top by two points – relying on a combo of voucher and bonus points to overcome the situation.
Team Shrug
Team Shurg’s brainbox, Lauren, gave away the Rose wine t othe 2nd-place team and was then unsuccesful with the True or False Bozonko for a tenner.
Blair
Blair (of the Canadians) also fell at the first True or False hurdle, so we have a £20 rollover for next week.
This didn’t bother Blair and his pals who managed to snaffle up all the Rose wine and go round the corner to drink it like jakeys. This behaviour is a result of the stupid law which says you can’t give away booze as a prize if the booze is consumed on-premises. Madness.

There are team names and there are team names and I’ve seen thosuands of them but I had to laugh when this mob called themselves UNIT LINKED VALUATIONS. So uncool, it’s cool. They won the £5000 scratchcard for best team name.
Unit Linked Valuations
They then entered into a thirlling battle with ZOMBIE HEAD ON A STICK and eventually came out on top by one point, winning the £10,000 scratchcard and the wine.
Unfortunately Tony (left) sconned the challenge of the cards and then Andrew from Zombie Head On A Stick did the same.
This left Nick from SHANICK to face the Riddle of The Beast
Q. What is Phil Collins’s favourite fruit?
A. Apple
B. Banana
C. Pineapple
D. Peach
Nick went for apple but it was a pineapple (causes most pain when rammed up a servant’s arse). The jackpot rolls over to £50 next Thursday.

American-Scottish team INSERT FUNNY TEAM NAME HERE started the quiz disastrously but came back strong and were soon dominating the situation.
In the end they won by 10 points. Hoopla!
Also – they collected a WINNING scratchcard and so took a £1 for that. However, they weren’t so lucky with the real cash. After all teams had failed to come to terms with the challenge, our winners got a straight shot at the cash with the following Riddle of The Beast:
Who is Phil Collins’s favourite serial killer or killers?
A. Yorkshire Ripper
B. Jack The Ripper
C. The Moors Murderers
D. Bible John
They got it wrong so we’re playing for £30 next week. Would you have known?
Meanwhile, the highlight of the quiz was quite possibly the drawing contest in which teams were invited to draw a picture of EITHER David Cameron riding a tiger OR Nick Clegg being orally pleasured by a peacock.
