Dance-Off disaster for GOOGLE EYED who lost a dance off for the first time probably ever.
Google Eyed’s dance legend David was outfoxed by the “slight” style of Scott from the CHEESE PLANT team who finally got the win which has eluded them for so long.
No one really knows why, cos Scott did fuck-all dance-wise and David had loads of great moves. Mystery.
Anyway – it was all to no avail as Scott met Brendan from FLYSTRIKE and both players succesfully negotiatied three true-false questions before falling down on this belter:
True or False: A family from Romania had a child who was so ugly that they made him sleep outside in case he infected the other children?
Would you have guessed. They didn’t and we have a splendid £100 jackpot next week.

It was my birthday on Monday and that didn’t really kick in until the Reverie.
I got 4 cards (2 points awarded for each card apart from the shitty knocked-together one by the Canadians which got 1 point) but Neil trumped the situation by bringing out a cake and a big card just after round 4. Candles, everything.
This was worth 10 points but still wasn’t enough to win the quiz cos Neil’s team was pretty much derailed by some pissed bird trying to jump his bones.
Meanwhile, the victory went to GOOGLE EYED who defintiely answered most questions correctly but only pipped E=MC HAMMERED by a couple of points after another controversial bonus round.
Again, no one was able to handle 5 true or false questions to win the jackpot and so we have an £80 rollover next week. See you there.

At last night’s Reverie quiz we had stars from all the points on the wheel of marriage.
We had:
A team featuring a doe-eyed couple in their twenties who had just got engaged to each other 2 days ago. Aw.
Just engaged, he's been getting the milk for 8 years and now he's bought the cow.
At the bar, we had a team called THE FUCK BUDDIES (DON’T TELL OUR PARTNERS) a pair of glowing 40-somethings who didn’t care about how badly they were doing in the quiz because they were going to fuck each other later on in direct violation of their existing marriages/partnerships.
[NO PHOTOGRAPH AVAILABLE]
And we had worthy quiz winners GOOGLE EYED who left their sister’s wedding (apparently it was a bit shit) to come to the quiz. Awesome.
Google Eyed (core members)
No winner in the True – False shoot out though, so we have a £60 rollover next week.

Google Eyed were in good enough form to roll over the other teams at Reverie on Monday but came up short when it was Jackpot time. After all, they never win unless its £100 or more!

This quiz night operation is not averse to employing a bit of celebrity connection to boost the profile of the quiz.
Many thanks to team QUIZTIAN THE LION who supplied this hard-to-top nugget at The Reverie recently:
The team member responsible for the claim said she was working in a shoe shop at the time and that Ms Rowling did NOT leave a tip.
Tight wizardy cow.

ONE SWELL FOOP have had their moments over the last few months but now Euan has a job in Norwich making sugar and the team is dissolving like saccharine in tea.
One Swell Foop win one last time
They quit on a high with victory at the Reverie last night, with Paige holding her nerve to win an amazing game of Bozonko vs. the powerhouse that is Mister T.
Not the actual Mister T, mind – just a white bloke in an A-Team T-shirt.
So, SIXTY QUID plus WINE and good night Vienna.
Next Week: Bring someone who lives in EH9 for extra points

GOOGLE EYED continue their mastery of Summer. They are now the hardest team to beat at Reverie and were masters of the scene once again with a stunning 50-point victory.
Google Eyed
God belss them and all their children past and future. Google Eyed!
Bad luck on the Bozonko though – neither Google Eyed nor the other person who had a shot were able to crack the True or False demon.
That means: £60 jackpot next Monday.

After the highs of the £180 super-pot last week, it was a more down-to-Earth Reverie quiz last night but still keenly fought and in the end it was one point which separated JELLY SNAKES from close runners-up FLYSTRIKE and made them booze winners.
Jelly Snakes
David from the Jelly Snakes lost out on True or False bozonko after getting three right but screwing up a question about chimpanzees driving at 100mph.
Chimps don’t drive cars, let alone at a hundred miles an hour.
It was a hugely international night at the Reverie. In order of World Cup success we had people from Spain, Germany, England, Australia, Ireland, Bulgaria and Macedonia in the boozer and it the teamwith Bulgarians and Macedonians who also got a chance but royally screwed up the True/False bozonko.
So: next week is a £40 rollover. See you there.

Phil ‘The Beast’ Collins and his dreadful riddles were finally slain at The Reverie last night as GOOGLE EYED came face to face with their maker and correctly nailed this easy Riddle of The Beast which, as I had promised, was the easiest one yet.
Google Eyed win £180
Which of these evil celebrities does Phil Collins respect the most? (answer at bottom)
- Gary Glitter
- Michael Barrymore
- Michael Jackson
- R Kelly
Of course, David from Google Eyed has cash winning form, his team won £100 back in April and another ton in May.
Now with £180 in July, its getting to the point where GOOGLE EYED need to start putting this income on their tax return!
Well done to ONE SWELL FOOP who kept the heid all the way through to win the actual quiz with 50 points(!) but unfortunately Euan was up against Spiderman in the Top Trumps and no one beats Spidey.
Red wine. No Money. Euan from One Swell Foop.
Back to ground zero next week folks, aka £20 jackpot and I think we’ll bring back the putting.
*ROTB answer – B. (Barrymore is the only one who has actually killed someone… albeit ‘accidentally’)
