All The Way From Sheffield

Last week’s winners at the Newsroom quiz were the Venns.

They came all the way from Sheffield to suck up the atmosphere at the famous Dr Paul quiz, having gotten a flavour filtered by a screen thanks to our appearance on Channel 4’s Quiz Trippers last month.

From a point of view of cementing my reputation as the best quimaster in the Western World, it was unfortunate that their visit co-incided with the festival and the fucked-up-ness of the Central Edinburgh scene at this time of year (yes, the bar was a bit quiet).

But from another point of view it was cool cos they won in the face of not-much-competition. They got the booze but were unlucky to miss out on the cash as another rock-hard bozonko True/False episode kicked in.

Now, I still haven’t quite got my head round what the Venns do, but its something to do with Pub Quizzes and it seems pretty creative. I haven’t read their fanzine they gave me yet, but you can get a flavour at their blog, which includes Venn diagrams illustrating perfect pub quiz questions, perfect teams, etc.

Have a look. Entertaining!
