Things started with a bang tonight. Pirate Glen donated £25 from the Quizmasters benevolent fund to the cash jackpot and soon to be 21yrs old Laura Mills was celebrating in style.

Laura's friends and relatives made up half of the teams, so it was odds-on they would do well, however it was Laura's team itself who beat The Pirates to win. 

Here's how it ended...

Senior Citz
Team SA  Applause

Highlights of the night had to be Laura's mum and dad dancing to the Beastie Boys. How embarrassing for her! Also the shouts of "Powercut" when the lights went out for the birthday cake. Classic Milngavie banter.

Until next week, when thanks to the uncomparable might of The Beast and the unbelievable generosity of Pirate Glen I have a whopper £61+ up for grabs.

Chowmein to that!

Sir J

An exciting night in The West Highland Gate as The Beast was finally defeated. It was £192 cash heroes 2 Pints of Tennents who went home richer after Ross ignored the crowd to beat The Beast.

Following their rivals triumph, booze winners Stephen Hawkings Football Boots just about managed to raise a smile - no wonder after 2 Pints gave them the finger as you can see here. 

Also in attendance last week's guest host Glen proving he hasn't lost his touch with an undisputed fun round victory. Business as usual for The Pirates then.

Team Dowson inspired a host of Yorkshire jokes - we had an appetite for everything from Yorkshire puddings to Plusnet broadband coming under quiz scrutiny.

We also celebrated London as 2nd Chance were bona-fide Chas n Dave loving Olympic flag waving cockneys. By contrast, Quizteam Pro AM on the other hand had nothing worth mentioning about them. AWKWARD.

Next week we could be starting with £25 then adding to it, depends how generous the fund for retired quizmasters is feeling!

This week in The Beef it's a very special day as quiz legend Glen hosts his very first Pirate theme quiz. Expect plenty of Seamen and Pieces of Eight and be prepared to "Walk the plank". And when I say 'Plank' I mean Glen's erect penis. Oh yes.

A full report will appear on The Pirates team page here...

Steven Hawking's Football Boots were the undisputed winners this week in The Beef. 2 Pints of Tennents came close, but a big bonus round triumph meant there was no hope for anyone else.

The Pirates were crowned funnest guys as usual. Hopefully Glen will be as fun when he hosts the quiz next week with a pirate theme spectacular.

The cash jackpot is now up to £185+ and I will be back with this for a Champions Quiz come down 19th Aug. 

Have a good one and see you in Milngavie in 2 weeks!

Sir James

This week at the quiz... Stereophonics and The Lorax!

Plus this actual question...
Name 2 countries starting with the letter K that have a border with China.

If that doesn't help you win the cash jackpot, nothing will.

This lady won't help you though.
She is Chinese and knows the answer, but she ain't telling.
What a bitch.

See you for the quiz.
