Breaking News: Handsfree Lightsabres Win. Again.

Handsfree Lightsabers: So excited they spaz out!
Handsfree Lightsabres (or Sabers?) won again. They're starting to look like Michael Phelps at the Olympics. Apart from in this photo, where they look more like contenders for the Special Olympics than London 2012.

It was a packed night of top quiz action with 8 teams competing for glory including The Honeymonsters and here's how all the teams fared...

1. Handsfree Lightsabers - Winners!
2.The Feckless Drunk Hards
3. The Honeymonsters
4. Better late than never - Funnest Team!
5. The Green Team
6. H & M
6. Devil Dog
8. J.I.M - Round of Applause!

£90 was a lot of money back in the 90s.
Janet from Handsfree Lightsabers tried to defeat the cairds, but like so many before her she failed. The cairds don't care about race, colour, creed, sex or age. They do hate the gingers though.

2nd placed The Feckless Drunk Hards came up and Kelly almost had a stoke trying to get the 5 in a row required. If she asked nicely I would have let her have a stroke there and then!

She managed to do so but when it came to the crunch and the Final Question, she refused to listen to every single person in the pub - almost literally! - and plump for the wrong answer. Gutted.

That means next week, Wednesday 1st August, that the Pourhouse jackpot will be up to £90 and if you get there for 8 o'clock (at night) you should even get yourself a cheeky wee booth.

A booth, booze, brains and banter? That sounds rare for a Wednesday night.

Fact.

Tonight at the Quiz - Quizguy Martin is back with Mastermind, an actor with a moustache and this actual question;

In beauty: Which C is the main protein found in skin?

Speaking of skin, here is some skin for all those with a foot fetish. Mmm sexy.

Catch you laters.

Laura & Nina : Factual and funny.
As usual these days in The Pourhouse regular quizzers Handsfree Lightsabers DOMINATED and took the booze with ease. They got full marks for just about everything including the bonus round. I can only hope their awesomeness won't scare off the competition next week...

Pictured below are Laura and Nina from The Ninets. They may have been whipped by the Lightsabres in the points, but they had this winning joke round entry...

'We are German and, as such, are better known for our efficiency than our joke telling.'

Arguably more of a true story than a fact, but it certainly caused efficient ripples of amusement enough that the ladies could be crowned winners and take home the contents of my stuffed sack as well as getting to design this lovely poster!

Here's how the other teams fared...

1. Handsfree Lightsabers - Winners!
2. Quizlamic Fundamentalists
3. The Popheads
4. Queef Latifa has tourettes
5. The Ninets - Funnest Team!
6. B & H
7. Room 404
7. The team I really want to win...
9. Team Awesome - Round of Applause!

Next week it's a £70 rollover and if the Germans can win the joke round anything can happen!

Oh, and The Ninets also got to the Final Question where they answered a question on Germany.

They failed.

Fact.

A MAHOOOOSIVE shout out and thanks to Team Mark (formerly The 3 Quizateers and before that Team Brenda) and Handsfree Lightsabers who both battled through the rain to the Pourhouse Quiz this week.

Hopefully they will get a good load of quiz in their faces next week.

Fingers crossed. Legs open. No pressure.

See you next week.

Fact.

Ian seems to think he finished in 2nd place...
Pouring at Pourhouse.

Either the low-budget, Glasgow version of a soppy movie involving Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan or a very good description of how the weather almost fucked up an otherwise fantastic night.

Cellar flooded - Check.
Quiz case in cellar - Check.
Music sytem not working - Check.
Relief on Quizguy Martin's face when we had a brilliant night even after all shit broke loose - BOOMCHECK!

Here's how it finished...

Picture
"Jammy" and joyful Jackie and Jonathan.
1. Handsfree Lightsabers - Winners!
2. Diamonds aren't forever
3. The 3 Quizateers
4. Fish & Chips - Funnest Team!
5. Minimum Wagers
6. Team Simba!
7. The Wrigglers - Round of Applause!


Handsfree Lightsabers won the quiz overall and won the beer but the cairds eluded them

Jackie from Diamonds aren't forever stepped up to the plate and was chuffed to paper-y bits with the luck of the draw as the cairds weren't as harsh as they normally are. In fact, they were gentler than a minks pubes.

Even better when her team mate Jonathan thought he knew the answer to the Keven Bacon based Final Question. He bloody well did and they left the pub £70 richer. Minus drinks and snacks charges of course.

I'll see you this Wednesday for more fun at Pourhouse.

Be there for 8pm.

Fact.
