The Britannia South Shields

15/10/2026

Congrats to all our winners last week, quiz night is back tonight.

There's loads of prizes up for grabs including the cash pot for our winners, drinks vouchers for all the members of the runners up team, and prize games including the Picture Prize Board and bottles of w**e to be won on Play Your Cards Right.

This week there's a bit of Sport, Politics and Movies plus much more, and of course we'll have the Mystery Round which each week is a little bit different. Brush up on the previous week's news for the In The News Round, and we'll also have the tricky Clue Rounds and the favourite 10 out of 10.

We'll see you tonight for an 8pm start and if you've never played before, why not make tonight the night?

🎃👻💀 SPOOKTACULAR HALLOWEEN AT THE BRIT! 💀👻🎃

🍻🎤 WHERE THE SINGING IS TERRIFYING, THE REGULARS ARE QUESTIONABLE, AND THE STAFF ARE EVEN WORSE!🤣🤣

📅 FRIDAY 30TH OCTOBER
⏰ FROM 8PM TILL THE GHOSTS GIVE UP AND GO HOME!
📍 THE BRITANNIA 🍻

🦇🎃 IT'S TIME TO GET YOUR SPOOK ON!🎃🦇

Forget haunted houses, horror films and things that go bump in the night…

THE REAL HORROR IS HAPPENING AT THE BRIT!😱🤣

And no, we're not just talking about the toilets after a busy Saturday night! 💩💀🤣

🎤👹 HALLOWEEN KARAOKE!👹🎤

Our very own Weird1 - Rabbit will be taking your requests and preparing himself for an evening of absolute musical torture! 🎶🤣

Whether you sing like an angel 😇, scream like a banshee 👻 or sound like a cat being dragged backwards through a hedge while someone's standing on its tail… 🐈😱

WE WANT TO HEAR YOU!🤣

Remember, you don't have to be a good singer…

YOU JUST HAVE TO BE LOUD ENOUGH TO DROWN OUT EVERYONE ELSE! 🎤🤣

And after a few pints, you'll all think you're Beyoncé anyway!

SPOILER ALERT: YOU'RE NOT! 🍻😂

🧛‍♀️🕷️ FANCY DRESS IS OPTIONAL! 🕷️🧛‍♂️

But the girls behind the bar will be DRESSED TO KILL!🧙‍♀️💋🔪

They'll be looking wickedly gorgeous, dangerously spooky and probably wondering why they agreed to work! 🤣🍻

And don't worry if you haven't got a costume…

HALF OUR REGULARS LOOK LIKE THEY'VE ESCAPED FROM A HORROR FILM ON A NORMAL FRIDAY! 💀🤣

Some of them are so frightening, even the ghosts have asked to be moved to another pub! 👻😂

👹💀 AND NOW… THE BIGGEST MYSTERY OF HALLOWEEN… CHRIS! 💀👹

Forget the Loch Ness Monster! 🦕
Forget Bigfoot! 🦍
Forget the Bermuda Triangle! 🌊

HAS ANYONE ACTUALLY SEEN CHRIS?! 🤣🤣

The bogeyman himself! 😱

Nobody knows where he lurks, nobody knows when he'll appear, and sightings are rarer than a customer saying they're only having one pint! 🍺🤣

SO WHAT WILL CHRIS COME DRESSED AS THIS YEAR?!

🧛‍♂️ DRACULA? At least Dracula comes out after dark!

🧟‍♂️ A ZOMBIE? More chance of seeing one walking through the bar!

👹 FRANKENSTEIN'S MONSTER? Even he manages to make an appearance occasionally!

👻 A GHOST? PERFECT! Because nobody ever bloody sees him anyway! 🤣🤣

Or perhaps he'll come dressed as…

💀 THE INVISIBLE MAN!

NO COSTUME REQUIRED… HE'S BEEN REHEARSING THAT ROLE ALL YEAR!*🤣🤣🤣

We're thinking of putting up a missing-person poster behind the bar…

**MISSING: CHRIS**
**LAST SEEN: NOBODY CAN REMEMBER!**
**REWARD: AN ABSOLUTELYAMAZING NIGHT** 🍺👻🤣

PLACE YOUR BETS NOW!

Will Chris make an appearance?

Will he vanish into thin air?

Or will we need a séance just to get him through the door?! 🔮🤣

🎃🦇 SO COME ON, YOU HORRIBLE LOT! 🦇🎃

Dust off your broomsticks! 🧹
Polish your fangs! 🧛‍♂️
Drag your mates out of their coffins! ⚰️
And warm up those vocal cords! 🎤

Get yourselves down to THE BRIT for a night of:

🎤 Singing that should probably be illegal!
👻 Costumes that'll give you nightmares!
🤣 Laughs that'll make your ribs hurt!
🍻 Plenty of BOO-ZE!
💀 And the possibility of a rare Chris sighting!

CAMERAS AT THE READY… WE'LL NEED PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE! 📸🤣

💀🎤 GOOD SINGERS WELCOME!
👹🎤 BAD SINGERS ENCOURAGED!
🍻🤣 DRUNK SINGERS INEVITABLE!
👻😂 AND CHRIS WILL BE TOLERATED… IF HE CAN FIND HIS WAY TO THE PUB!

🎃👻🍻 THERE'S A HALLOWEEN PARTY AT THE BRIT!!! 🍻👻🎃

🧛‍♀️🧛‍♂️🧙‍♀️🧟‍♂️🎤🍻💀

FRIDAY 30TH OCTOBER – FROM 8PM!

💀 BE THERE OR BE SCARED! 💀

AND REMEMBER… IF YOU SEE CHRIS, DON'T PANIC!

JUST STAY CALM, TAKE A PHOTO AND ALERT THE STAFF…

👻 IT'S THE FIRST CONFIRMED SIGHTING OF THE YEAR!!! 🤣🤣🤣

🎃🍻👻 SEE YOU AT THE BRIT, YOU SPOOKY BUGGERS! 👻🍻🎃

11/10/2026

Well, what an absolutely BLOODY BRILLIANT night! 🍾🥳😂

A massive thank you to everyone who came to celebrate Chris’s 50th birthday… without the minor inconvenience of Chris actually being there!🤣🤣

And what a party it was!! 💃🍻

He would have hated EVERY SINGLE SECOND of it. The noise, the people, the attention, the happiness… basically everything he stands against! 😂😂

But we didn’t let his miserable absence ruin a perfectly good party! 🤣

Turns out the secret to a successful 50th is to **leave the birthday boy off the guest list!** 😂👏

Chris, you’ll be delighted to know everyone had the time of their lives at your expense!

Best 50th ever… 10/10, would definitely not invite him again! 🤣🍾❤️

10/10/2026

🥳🔥 **TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT!!!** 🔥🥳

🎉 **CHRIS'S BIG 50TH BIRTHDAY BASH… WITHOUT CHRIS!** 🤣🤣

50 years of moaning, whinging and being a miserable git… AND WE'RE CELEBRATING WITH EVERYTHING HE HATES! 😈😂

🎤 Karaoke!
🕺 Dodgy dancing!
🍻 Plenty of booze!
🐰 Weird1 - Rabbit causing musical mayhem!

And Chris? 👴🏻 Probably at home in his slippers, moaning at the telly! 🤣

⏰ **7:30PM TONIGHT!**

🔌 Who's pulling the plug? Because it definitely won't be Chris! 😂

🥳 NO CHRIS!
🎤 NO TALENT!
🕺 NO SHAME!
🍻 NO CHANCE OF A QUIET NIGHT!

🎉 HAPPY 50TH, CHRIS! 🎉

WE'D SAY WE WISH YOU WERE HERE… BUT WE DON'T WANT TO RUIN THE PARTY! 🤣🤣🍻🔥

09/10/2026

🚨🎉 WARNING! WARNING! IT’S HAPPENING TOMORROW!!! 🎉🚨

🥳 CHRIS IS TURNING 50… AND WE’RE THROWING HIM A PARTY HE’S NOT EVEN GOING TO! 🤣🤣

Yes, you read that right.

50 YEARS OLD! 👴🏻

Half a century of breathing.
Five decades of complaining.
50 years of perfecting the art of being a miserable git. 😂

And what better way to celebrate than by organising an entire night of EVERYTHING THAT MAKES HIS EYE TWITCH! 😈

📅 TOMORROW – SATURDAY 10TH OCTOBER!
⏰ 7:30PM UNTIL SOMEONE PULLS THE PLUG! 🍻Take a guess at who will pull the plug!! It wont be Chris🤣

🔥😈 THE THEME: EVERYTHING CHRIS HATES! 😈🔥

🎤 KARAOKE – Chris hates it. So naturally, we're having HOURS of it.

🕺 DANCING – The worse your moves, the more Chris would disapprove. PERFECT!

🎶 TERRIBLE SINGING – If you sound like a cat being dragged through a hedge backwards, YOU'RE OUR HEADLINER! 🐈🤣

🍻 DRINKING – Because nobody sings Sweet Caroline sober and gets away with it.

😂 LAUGHING – Preferably so loud Chris can hear us from wherever he's hiding!

🐰🎤 And controlling the musical torture will be the one, the only, the completely unhinged Weird1 - Rabbit

He's got the microphone, he's got the tunes, and absolutely nobody has checked if he's got a licence to cause this much suffering! 🤣🤣

🎈 The pub will be decorated.
🎤 The karaoke will be ready.
🍺 The drinks will be flowing.
🕺 The dance floor will be full of people who really shouldn't be dancing.

And Chris?

PROBABLY SAT AT HOME IN HIS SLIPPERS, MOANING ABOUT SOMETHING ON THE TELLY! 👴🏻📺🤣

💥 SO… ARE YOU COMING OR WHAT?! 💥

Come and help us celebrate 50 years of a man who would rather chew his own arm off than attend this party! 😂

🥳 NO CHRIS!
🎤 NO TALENT!
🕺 NO SHAME!
🍻 NO CHANCE OF A QUIET NIGHT!

🚨 TOMORROW! 7:30PM! BE THERE! 🚨

AND REMEMBER… THE MORE FUN WE HAVE, THE MORE CHRIS WOULD HATE IT! 😈🤣

🎉🍻 HAPPY 50TH CHRIS! WE'D SAY WE WISH YOU WERE HERE… BUT WE'D BE LYING! 🍻🎉🤣🤣
