Thursday Jackin’ – Jackin’ The Quiz

Quizzes Tonight:

7pm – Argyle Bar (Cellar). Jackpot £60. Cheat answer: Japan (pic round)

9pm – The Newsroom. Jackpot £50. Cheat answer: Zedd (music round)

Thursday has dawned like a fat boy at a buffet.

Don’t get beat to the cheeses. Don’t let him grab all the ham. Snatch a sausage roll from under his sniffy fatty snout right now, before they all get grabbed. Run!

That was a trifle fattist. Whoa! don’t mention trifle.

Anyway, here is the cheat clip from tonight’s’ Newsroom music round. It sounds like modern pop music in such a pre-fabricated way that it might well have been written by an algorithm.

Algorithms might one day be sophisticated enough to emulate Jethro Tull but the Tull will have always been the ones to do it first.

Fuck the robots.

So Damn Close

Sat, July 1, 2017 Dr Paul Leave a comment

This is what a team looks like when they were so damn close to the money.

They were probably one question out. Looks to me like it was for about £200.

But the right answer eluded them and now they have nothing except sullen regret.

Apart from the guy in the middle. He’s not playing along, he’s giving it the “not bothered”. Who knows. Maybe he isn’t bothered.

I’ve no way of telling.

Horses Get Vote

Sat, July 9, 2011 Dr Paul Leave a comment

Here’s a rather touching team name form the Newsroom pub quiz the other week.

I Love Horses The Best Of All The Animals.

Gee, that’s really nice.

The thing I really like about this team name is that you can tell they mean no disrespect to sealions or boa constrictors or hyenas, its just that they really really like horses.

I repsect that.
