Great to be back after two weeks off – massive thanks to the legendary Kate for keeping the ship (and the answer sheets) afloat while we were away.
139 players, 29 teams… and some team names that made us question whether we should be serving more water and less alcohol. Anyway, the results:
1st place and £80: Candy Crush – they crushed it, then presumably crushed a packet of Skittles on the way home.
2nd place and £40: Chancers – still chancing it, still somehow in the money. Respect.
3rd place and £19: Tin Tin’s Testicles (an all-male team, in case the name didn’t already scream “we’re emotionally unavailable”) – bold name, bolder result.
4th place and a scratch card: Scrambled Eggheads – their brains were scrambled, their prize was not.
Highest-scoring new team (chocolate): Thicker than Blood – either a very tight family or just… thick. We’re not judging.
Bottom place (also chocolate, because we’re generous like that): a lovely first-time couple going by the name Twit and T**t. Welcome aboard. That name alone earned them the chocolate.
Chase the Joker remains intact and will be a juicy £500 next week (41 cards left – someone’s getting bold).
Thanks everyone for another cracking night. Reminder that we’ve got two Christmas quizzes on the 16th and 23rd December – book your tables now before the festive chaos (and the questionable team names) takes over.
See you all next week!

On Remembrance Day we pause to honour those who served and those who never returned. The poppy grows in the fields where so many fell — a quiet reminder of sacrifice, courage, and the peace we must continue to protect.
Lest we forget. 🇨🇦
