I’m sure you will delighted to hear that after several disappointing weeks The Dregs were finally victorious. Unfortunately it was a very low turnout tonight and the prize money was reduced from £50 to £30. Still a win’s a win.
The Dregs managed only 4th place, ten points behind the suspiciously high-scoring “Table 19”. We didn’t know what a carambola was, who had a hit with “Only Sixteen”, who starred on the 1979 TV series “Quatermass”, or the year Jane Austen was born. Must try harder.

Keep on churning out the Newcastle Brown boys, the Dregs came second in the pub quiz again.

Since I am now apparently unsacked, I must report that last week the Dregs came third, but with the return of myself and Barry this week improved on that to come third again. We will be drowning our sorrows with SteveR’s home-brew this weekend.

Normally left to Dawkeye - but as he has abandoned his duties I shall step in.
We came second. So free Newcastle Brown Ales.
Thanks to Dawkeye for winning the second place tie-break.
Putting that aside, the bad news is that Dawkeye is sacked for failing to post a blog on time.
The team is getting smaller as I have already sacked SteveC for not turning up on Thursday due to watching Manchester United getting thrashed and also repeatedly failing to get my table of choice for the quiz.
Let this be a word of warning to the rest of the team.
Duly Signed
The Captain

PS . I am on holiday next week so have delegated Dawkeye as captain and scribe.
Then he is sacked.
The Dregs were denied their rightful win this week by the “Famous Five”, whose cunning strategy of answering more questions correctly than we did pushed us back into second place. However there was plenty of free beer to go around to ease the pain.

After a short hiatus The Dregs returned to the quiz tonight, and to their surprise, scored 50 points to take home the £50. Nice.

…but no cigar, as The Dregs are pushed into third place and deprived of their rightful prize by a mere half-point in tonight’s particularly tricky quiz.
In other news; next week two groups of over-paid nitwits will be propelling a ball from one end of a field to the other while surrounded by bellowing idiots, which is apparently sufficient excuse to cancel the quiz.

Apparently the Dregs did extremely poorly last week, which is not a surprise since BeerLeg was falling off a French mountain on a tea-tray, and I was busy sleeping. However, we were back to full strength this week and put in a remarkably good performance considering the acres of empty space on the answer sheet. Thanks to some last minute creative guesswork we managed to pull off a respectable second place, and thus were able to warm ourselves after the long cold journey home (at an invigorating -2C) with bottles of Newky Broon. Cheers!
The Dregs just missed out on the big money prize tonight, losing by a single point to the “Famous Five”. However we were more than happy to take home bottles of Newky Brown Ale. NormC was particularly pleased as he will be drinking SteveC’s as well.
