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.

Sometimes, the team that drinks the most also answers the most questions right and this was true on Monday at The Reverie where PARAGUAY SHOULD HAVE WON 3-1 were in rampant form, both in ordering dirnks at the bar and in answering questions.
Paraguay Should Have Won 3-1
The booze skills in the team were largely under the management of Irish Mark (not pictured) who was doing nothing to buck his national stereotype. Downing pints of Guiness in one go? Good things come to those who wait but also to folk who just throw it down their neck!
Sarah wasn’t drinking at all (she was driving) so it was she who was sent forward to face the Riddle of The Beast. She found Phil Collins in execution mode:
Q. What is Phil Collins’s favourite method of state execution?
A. Gas Chamber
B. Lethal Injection
C. The Chair
D. Phil Collins does not believe in capital punishment
After some debate in the team, Sarah was ready to choose the chair but was swayed by Alana who insisted on lethal injection.
Whaddya know – its the chair. Phil knows that the chair is the most painful and gruesome and that’s why its his execution method of choice!
Beast.
£140 next week and its all in the hands of REPLACEMENT QUIZMASTER MARK, pictured below. Obey him as you would me.

A huge score from 3′s COMPANY gave them the weekly title at Reverie and gave them a huge chance in the monthly million pound competition for highest score of the month.
50 points is pretty unbelievable and it wasn’t even that east a quiz. One team ended up with 19!
Anyway, the chpa from 3′s company was mad enoguh to take me on at Top Trumps (Warships) but failed badly when he pulled out some daft French helicopter transporter against my awesome US Navy Amphibious Monster Ship. Raaar.
But then I was taken out by a real yank, Boris from HARRY POTTER AND THE CAPTIVE BOLT. What can you do?
Unfortunately for Boris, he then faced the Beast and had trouble with this question:
Q. What colour does Phil Collins prefer when he’s playing RISK?
A. Red
B. Green
C. Pink
D. Black
The answer, of course, is black because as he wins he imagines his black armies spreading across teh board is like the plague. Then, when everyone is dead and he folds up the board to pour all the armies into the tray, he imagines filling up a huge mass grave with all the people in the world.
Boris went for red. Beast £80 next week.

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.

Team NEMO had to be on their mettle to win at a busy Reverie by six clear points. But win they did and look how happy it made them:
Team Nemo
Stewart even won Top Trumps to come face to face with the awesome power of The Beast.
Question: What is Phil Collins’s favourite part of a woman’s body?
A. Face
B. Back
C. Neck
D. Feet
Answer- NECK, because it reminds him of strangling orphans. Unlucky Steart, FACE was not the right answer. Rollover for next week: £40.

Once I pointed out to our largest regular Thursday team that they were sitting at the unlucky table where no winning team had ever sat before, they were on a mission to destroy the curse.
To emphasise the point, they called themselves THE REVENGE OF THE UNLUCKY TABLE, and that’s what panned out.
Revenge of The Unlucky Table
It wasn’t TOO difficult to achieve this on a night dominated by politics which seemed to keeping folk off the streets.
However give them their dues – they won in style (11 point margin) and the curse is dead. The wine was theirs and they even had a bit of THREE POUND scratchcard glory.
three pound winner
Unfortunately, the BEAST was too strong and the riddle rolls over. £20 next week. And, by the way, special mention to second place team CAN I GET A BIG HAND FOR JEREMY BEADLE, perhaps the best team name of the week.

Team 37 were so good at winning the quiz at Jenny Ha’s this week that their score exceeded their name!
Ben from Team 37
That’s the chap they sent up to have a go at the Jackpot (I *think* his name is Ben – but I cannae quite recall).
Anyway: Ben, if that is his name, totally got reamed by the Beast. It was like Postman Pat versus the Ultimate Warrior in a super pose-down.
And that means we have a rollover for next week: £40 it’ll be.

Phil “The Beast” Collins was at work again last night, setting a trap for the unwary members of IT’S BASED ON THE COIN.
It's Based on The Coin
The Coin, it has to be said, came back superbly from a medicore performance to STORM the minefield round with a blazing ten out of ten while all around them were losing their heads and scoring minus points.
I don’t understand this: when you’re looking at a minus two – why guess on a question like: In Thoms The Tank Engine, what colour is Duck (out of Thomas the Tank Engine)? People are guessing yellow and brown? I’m thinking: wtf?
Anyway, IT’S BASED ON THE COIN aced the last round, dealt with the challenge and finally faced the Beast for £40 in real cash.
i will kill you
Question:
Q. What is Phil Collins’s favourite way to kill a witch?
A. Burn her
B. Hang her
C. Drown Her
D. Cut her head off
The answer of course is :A) burning.
The reasons? Burning is the traditional method and Phil Collins likes traditional things, like Christmas. Also, burning hurts the most. Also – there’s “No Jacket Required” when you’ve got a nice fire on the go.
Burn, bitch. Burn forever. BEAST.
The Coin – STUPIDLY – chose “hanging. Durh!
Sixty quid next week.

Dusty
Jenny Ha’s last night:
King of Comedy, Dusty, nearly won the jokes round without even handing in a joke, such was the abysmal quality of the material available. In the end it was the 2 G’s who took away a copy of “Management” starring Jennifer Aniston. How will I explain the absence of this DVD to my wife?
Quiz-wise, the contest ended in victory for WE’RE NOT SURE IF WE’RE GOING TO STAY who were, in fact, not sure if they were going to stay but ended up stying and winning!
We Might Not Stay To The End
The duo selected Laura to throw the darts for £40 after Alan succesfully nailed the trivia challenge and it was so-near, so-far as Laura’s last dart landed a fraction south of the treble twenty.
Yes, it was within 0.4 inches of scoring the money or as we like to say, a centimetre.
That means we have a rollover: £60 next Monday and the darts target comes down again: this time to a score 60 with three darts.
Can you match the total to win? See you next Monday at 7pm.

The Dude Abides
The Jenny’s quiz was once again won by THE DUDE ABIDES but due to the lack of a trivia challenge, the right to answer the Ultimate Question passed from team to team until last-placed nobodies Dartin Squire faced this question for sixty quid:
Q. Which of these 1990s TV shows was on the air first?
A. Father Ted
B. Balamory
C. Cold Feet
D. The Fast Show
The wrong answer means a rollover and the fact that we will now be playing for £80 next Monday night. Be there!
Would you have got that one right?
But the trouble is they keep changing their name. This week they were NORMAN’S NO.
By the way – total TRUE OR FALSE FAILURE by both teams in the final on this question:
