Sunday Edinburgh Pub Quizzes

Leave a comment

Tonight’s quizzes :

6pm – The Persevere. Jackpot: £30. Cheat: Guinea Pig (pic round)

8pm – Tolbooth Tavern. Jackpot: £30. Cheat: Ashford & Simpson (music round)

Here is the music round cheat for the Tolbooth. I used to like this song when I was a kid:

The guy’s got loads of soul glow and swaggering soul-knits. And leather trousers. He looks a bit like Barry White but less fat.

I don’t know whatever happened to Ashford and Simpson. But They look like emotional people. I bet they were as deeply affected by the death of Harambe as any of us.

I think my voice is nearly back to normal. Wednesday and Thursday were horrible. Sorry if you chose to sit through that.

Thanks for the various wishes of recovery, but If you really are worried about my health, the quickest way to get me back to fitness is to buy a deck of Cunto cards.

Thanks for that!

Tonight’s quizzes :

6pm – The Persevere. Jackpot: £60. Cheat: Leffe (pic round)

8pm – Tolbooth Tavern. Jackpot: £120. Cheat: Westlife (music round)

Hey. It’s Sunday and, as I type, the weather is good. Take advantage, go outside for a while.

Then when you realise how tedious outside can be (nowhere to buy beer, nowhere to politely piss) then come back inside to the pub where everyone is your friend and you can get food and booze and win the quiz.

Here is a clip from the music round at the Tolbooth tonight:

Just like the Wizard of Oz, the video begins in black and white and then dramatically leaps into colour just as it gets to the good bit.

The good bit in the Wizard of Oz is where Dorothy travels to Oz and kills the witch and meets the Munchkins and literally everything goes completely bananas.

In the Westlife video, the “good bit” is just the chorus. 1939 > 2001

I mean, it’s a decent enough song. It’s the sort of thing that would have easily won Eurovision in 1995.

I’ve started properly listening to Eurovision songs for next month. The criticism of this year’s Iceland entry is that it sounds like a winner from the 1990s. It is predicted to fail to qualify from the semis.

My favourite so far is Greece or France or Cyprus or Moldova. Not sure yet – will need a few more listens. I’ll keep you updated because I know you care, deeply.

Epic hit. So powerful and so obviously written by the Bee Gees, perhaps the universe’s most potent songwriting team of all time.

Remember your quiz inspiration. Remember what Mahatma Gandhi always said: “CHEATING IS BAD”.

Wise words, Mahatma.

The cheat-music clip from the Tolbooth music round tonightis disco legends Chic. Check out the groove:

Chic are always so well turned-out. More seventies smooth than you can wave a disco-stick at. Delicious.

Tonight’s quizzes :

6pm – The Persevere. Jackpot: £60. Cheat: Qantas (pic round)

8pm – Tolbooth Tavern. Jackpot: £30. Cheat: Snow Patrol (music round)

Here’s a cheat-preview of one of the songs in the Tolbooth Music Round tonight:

 

In truth, this is the kind of music that makes me want to physically attack people, such is the misery, the beige and the lack of anything. Don’t listen to the tune. Don’t click the video unless you really really need to hear the tune to secure those two points in tonight’s quiz. It’s terrible.

It’s like the worst parts of Radiohead, Coldplay and Elbow all squeezed into a single three-minute poo.

Are there people cluttering up your front room who you hate? Play them some Snow Patrol. Although maybe not. Because if they’re cunts anyway then they might stay if you play Snow Patrol because they’re a cunt’s band. And also, if you did play Snow Patrol just to get the cunts to leave your front room, then you’d have to listen to Snow Patrol too.

Easier just to ask them to leave.

Tonight’s quizzes :

6pm – The Persevere. Jackpot: £30. Cheat: New Zealand (music round – see vid below)

8pm – Tolbooth Tavern. Jackpot: £90. Cheat: Musical Youth (music round)

Here’s a cheat=preview of one of the songs in the Tollbooth Music Round tonight:

 

The song in the Tolbooth music round was a huge hit when I was kid. I loved it. I had no idea what they were singing about.

Thirty five years later I still like the tune and I have still no idea what its about. This is the power of three-minute pop music: to confuse and entertain for decades at a time.

I give you…. my Sunday quizzes. You are welcome. Your family is welcome. Bring ’em all.

8pm – Tolbooth Tavern. Jackpot: £120. Cheat: One of the picture round answers is Frank Turner.


Isn’t Real 2 Reel brilliant? Isn’t ‘I Like To Move It’ it the greatest song ever written? Isn’t Mad Stuntman pure barry? If you disagree, you must come to the quiz so that we may FIGHT.

Sunday Is Early Quizzes So You Can Quiz And Still Get Your Bed

I know you need to get up on Monday, so the Sunday quizzes are scheduled earlier than the other days of the week:

6pm – The Persevere. Jackpot: £30. Cheat: One of the answers in the picture round is Billy Ocean, the deepest Ocean in the world.

8pm – Tolbooth Tavern. Jackpot: £30. Cheat: One of the answers in the picture round is Velvet Underground. See video below if you want to hear the tune.

The original was Velvet Underground and that’s the one on the music round. The video version is “just” Lou Reed solo but he does it nice.

Do you know what it’s about? It’s about drugs. All rock and roll used to be about drugs or revolution.

Now you get songs about fast food and blow jobs. This is evolution and everyone will be dead one of these days.

Smile!

Otherwise Satan wins.

8pm – Tolbooth Tavern. Jackpot £90. Cheat: The music round includes Galantis. See vid below. It’s got a woman in it who’s actually an electronic cat or something.

I just had a look on ebay to see what you could get for that kind of money.

Behold:

A shit load of steel stillages. I don’t even know what stillages are. But you can have them. Now!
