£19 Jackpot - enough to buy 6 plates of street food!

26/2/2013

False Advertising: It's not a £60 Rollover!
A bustling night in Dukes as the new Street Food menu got it's quiz debut to stunning effect. Everyone was eating - except for me. I didn't even get offered a Jammy Dodger. Damn you world.
And speaking of the iconic biscuit, it was Jammy Dodgers that inspired the winners - former recipients of my biscuit prize they had bragging rights as they have claimed a prize at just about every Dukes quiz they've been to. Shocking.

Here's how it ended...
Jammy Returns  Winners
= Cardinal Sin
= That's No Baboon, it's a Space Station
= Final Chance
Handsfree Lightsabres
Inmates  
Applause

Cash Winners - Again!
A night of unusual scoring as 4 teams were tied for first place going into the final round. In the end it was the gamblers who paid the price as The Jammy Team left two answers blank to beat their competition into 2nd place. How Jammy!
Handsfree Lightsabres put in a good show as they were just one point off 2nd place. Awkward. Their main source of amusement came from a similarly they noticed between one of the quizzers and a character in a classic 90's film. Names have been changed to protect identities. 

Next week it's a £19 situation as big man Stuart claimed the cash. As you can see though, that's enough to buy about 6 plates of food from the new street food specials, so it's a pretty decent effort.

Another interesting point to note was the attendance of former quiz host Mr Paul. What a legend.

Until next time - Chowmein!

Team Tosh Take Winners Badge

20/2/2013

Here they are looking incredibly pleased to collect one of my winners badges! It was all smiles and celebrations from Team Tosh here who were clearly delighted to be champions for the night.

Hopefully if they win next week they will crack a smile. And it's a rollover, so that could help!

Lady Gaga Pope Mash-up Team Win!

12/2/2013

After weeks of anticipation it was the big showdown between Dukes most feared heavy hitting Quizteams, and never mind the Pope resigning, the question we all wanted to the answer too? Which poor sods would have to carry a case of Skol home?!
Quizteam of The Month - Assorted Numbers of The Beast were out in force - but when it came to the tiebreak action it was Gallus regulars Quizzly Bears vs Dukes stalwarts Ra-Ra-Ratzinger who tied for pole position and ended up in the tiebreak mix.

Lucky it was just a box of Skol up for grabs, so Quizzly Bears weren't too disappointed to lose out to the superior urban knowledge of Pete from the Pope resignation/Lady Gaga mash-up tribute team Ra-Ra-Ratzinger.

Thankfully Team Tosh had a great time despite their usually not enjoying quiz nights and the such - glad to hear it ladies! How much of this was down to the talents of the quiz host and how much was down to the effects of the sparkly wine, we shall never know...

In other news it was perennial round of applause whores Drunk Naked and Awkward who got the losers badge and learnt a hard lesson about bonus round buzz-in tactics to boot. Funny enough they also said that they also don't like Skol - what are the chances eh?!

Next week then it's a £40 rollover, a better winners prize and more Pope resignation and Horse lasagne jokes guaranteed.

Slimline Quizzy Bears claim Winners Badge

5/2/2013

 
Picture
A few hardcore folk made it out in the ice and sleet and hail and snow to Dukes, so it was a picture quiz special...

Beating Drunk Naked and Awkward by a single point was these hardcore Quizzly Bears. 

And in case you think I'm exaggerating about the poor quality of weather here's a photo of the freezing misery that was Byres Road on my way home.

The weather is that bad you can hardly even see the bright lights of Waitrose in the distance. In case I didn't mention it before I do live near Waitrose you see.

I'm back to try again next week!
