Quiz update…
We had 140 players this week, which somehow turned into 29 teams. Maths was not on the paper, which is probably for the best.
Callum and Dan were celebrating their birthdays. Many happy returns, gents.
A bit of rain meant every team was inside for the first time in a while. The b**r garden had a night off. The carpet did not.
Huge thanks to our amazing Kate for hosting. Sterling job, as always. Even though Chrissy appears to save the “words nobody can pronounce” specifically for Kate’s week. We also remain grateful that she gets us out on time, especially on a school night. Some of us have to be up for work. Some of us just have to pretend.
Anyway, the results…
In first place, winning £80, was That’s Life. In second, winning £40, was Tin Tin’s Testosterone. Clearly running on pure confidence and not enough female input. In third, winning £20, was Tina’s Turnips. Strong root vegetables. Stronger score.
And in fourth place… drum roll, please… always the bridesmaid, never quite the bride… Multiple Scoregasms. Does this mean next week you’re rebranding as Multiple Scratchcards?
Our highest-scoring new team, and winners of chocolate, was DG50. Welcome. Don’t get used to the sugar. It may not last.
Bottom place, and also winners of the coveted chocolate, was Simple Minds. Again. To be fair, they are only a team of two, plus their adorable dog. The dog is clearly carrying them.
And in true Kate style, Chase the Joker has gone on Kate’s watch. £500, won by Jenny from Pink Gins. We assume the gins were pink with celebration shortly afterwards.
That means we start again next week with a fresh deck of 53 cards and the same £500 jackpot.
Thanks for a great night. See you all next week. Same time, same place, same chaos. Bring a pen. Bring a team name you can defend in public. Bring an umbrella, just in case the b**r garden gets ideas.
