Do you even know what a Chinchilla is? It’s a furry wee thing. Very furry in fact: I just learned from Wikipedia that Chinchillas have the densest fur of any land-mammal. Howzaboutthatthen?
And now: the music round free answer, it applies to the Brass Monkey Leith and it a classic club banger by Rosie Gaines:
We all used to shake to this back in the day and probably would shake again if someone drags us out to a wedding.
Anyway: vegetarians, vagitarians, straight, gay, lesbian, homosexual, Lithuanian people, penguins, right-wingers, left-wingers, centre-forwards , you’re all welcome to the quiz tonight. Let there be no walls.

The USA and the Philippines may be struggling with the aftermath of cyclones and hurricanes and all that business but because we live in ultra-reasonable Scotland, this is not an issue and should NOT prevent anyone coming to the quiz tonight.
If there are any weather or flooding or transport issues which DO prevent you from making it to the two entertainment centres tonight (the Monkey and the Safari) then let me know on Twitter.
Meanwhile, here is a cheat clue for tonight’s quiz at the Safari, it’s the The B-52s:
The song doesn’t start until 8.35 but I’ve linked to this video so you can see a couple of their other songs. They really are the greatest band in pop history.
But never mind the B-52s. You need to choose what you’re going to wear to the quiz tonight. Something shiny? Something checked? Make it work.

Remember: tonight’s pub quizzes are located less than a mile apart. You could, feasibly, do the double (and people do).
First one at the Brass Leith finishes at 8.30pm and the second one at the Safari Lounge begins at 9pm (although I don’t usually hit the first question until about 10 past or quarter past)
I might be on the bike tonight but if I’m getting a taxi I’m always happy to give you a lift between the two places. Free of charge!

It’s hitting week three of the Fringe and everyone has had enough. Edinburgh is a nightmare. You can’t GET anywhere. You can’t get served anywhere without an enormous queue.
Well, not exactly.
Of course, the simple solution is that all you have to do is step OUTSIDE the city centre.
I knew a woman from Down South who once had a fringe show on Broughton Street, very near the Cask & Barrel, or whatever that big boozer is called (on the corner of London Street). I remarked that it was a good venue, city centre and she looked at me like I was mad.
As far as she was concerned, Broughton Street could have been the moon. She said NO ONE would come to her show – it was too far away.
So that’s the festival mentality: If it’s not EH1 then it can get tae fuck.
The upside of this is that the city remains relatively calm outside the bubble o’madness. So get yourself to Leith, get yourself to Abbeyhill if you need a break from the city centre crazies.
Come and do the quiz. And win things. And be happy.
Here’s tonight’s music round cheat which applies to the early quiz at Brass Monkey Leith:
Best youtube comment for this comes from someone called Kevin:
“Came for the song, stayed for the chest hair. Not gay.”
Tonight’s quizzes are located less than a mile apart. You could, feasibly, do the double.
First one at the Brass Leith concludes at 8.30pm and the second one at the Safari Lounge begins at 9pm (although I don’t usually hit the first question until about 10 past or quarter past)

The music cheat for tonight is for the Brass. It’s Japan, even though it sounds very much like Duran:
A good proportion of the youtube comments remark on the physical beauty of the singer: David Sylvian. That was about 35 years ago.
He looks like this now:
At least he hasn’t got fat.

Here is the music round cheat for one of the songs at the Safari Lounge:
There you go, that’s pretty much the peak of the eighties. Boomer.

Come to the quiz. You might meet the love of your life. It’s happened before. People who meet at the quiz sometimes get married.
This is not a warning or a threat. I’m just saying.
Meanwhile: tonight’s music round free answer is for the Brass Monkey Leith where the music round will contain a clip of this song by Dexy’s Midnight Runners:
The picture answer for Brass Monkey tonight is Snow Patrol who are described by Wikipedia as a Northern Irish band but a quick sketch through their page reveals that a large part of the band’s history took place in Scotland, as they were formed in Dundee and lived in Glasgow as they tried to break through.
It’s a good story of persistence and showbiz and worth a read, even if you’re like me and think their music is dishwater.
Last chance to enter August Dead Pool is tonight. Don’t miss.

The music round tune tonight was, according to the info on youtube, the winner of “Best Pop Dance Track,” at the 20th Annual International Dance Music Awards in 2004. Aye, it’s all right. The video has plenty of none-too-subtle pants shots in common with several dance videos from around the same time, notably Destination Calabria which also featured the arousing use of brass.
The picture answer for Brass Monkey tonight is Andy Warhol. Did you know he was shot in 1968 and survived (after a five hour operation to save his life)?
His would-be assassin was a writer named Valerie Solanas who had written the ‘SCUM Manifesto‘, detailing a world without men.
She said that she shot Warhol because she thought he was going to produce her play and steal the rights.
The judge said she was a nutter and locked her up for three years. Warhol is said to have lived the rest of his life in fear that she would shoot him again.
Don’t get caught up in this kind of drama in your own life tonight. Just come to the quiz.
No shooting.

The music round tune tonight is my favourite Eurovision from the last three years. It’s Bulgaria’s Poli Genova and we saw it live in Stockholm at the ESC in 2016. The place went mad – it’s a dance banger:
Monday night is the first night after the terror of the World Cup has lifted like a fog.
Celebrate by leaving the house and meeting real people in a real pub and playing the real quiz for real money.

No football to ruin everything tonight, so let’s take this moment to feel our good selves right and release the inner trivia god that lurks within us all.
The music round at the Safari tonight includes this all time glam bang:
There is nothing as good as RoxyMusic. They are the greatest band of all. Apart from maybe Queen or ABBA. But you know what I mean.
The full version of the song is worth watching. They really go for it.

9pm – Safari Lounge. Jackpot £60. Cheat news: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (music round)
A hundred and fifty quid? You could get a new kitchen for that probably, I don’t know, I’m not really in the market for kitchens.
Here’s the cheat source for Safari:
This is the straightest white man rock and roll possible. The sort of band that people like when they’re terminally afraid of showing any love for Eurovision pop just in case they catch the gay.
Doesn’t make the tune bad though, it’s nice. Good rock and roll. But don’t forget to bop to the pop too.
Rock makes you strong. But pop makes you great.
