I suggested this in General Bullshit yesterday, so I thought I'd give it its own thread to see if there would be much/any interest.
It would essentially be a CaB edition of the pop quiz I've been doing most Fridays over the past few months over Webex*.
I posted the rounds of a previous one here (https://www.cookdandbombd.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic,79077.0.html) if you want to see what the format was like.
Anyway, who fancies it?
*yes, I know, but it works
Might be up for it.
How much hassle is Webex to install? I'm incredibly lazy and only have Zoom.

Very little.
https://www.webex.com/downloads.html
How hard is the quiz?
Not very. Assuming you've heard some pop music in the last 40 years.
Maybe another time then.
Yeah, would be good another time, if enough people are up for it.
Can't do tonight. Definitely potential to make this your 'here comes quizzm' though. And by that I mean the questions are too hard, the quizzes arrive late and you drop it after 3 episodes.
I miss Here Comes Quizm. WORRRRGHHHH HOW'D YOU GET ON WITH THEM, THEN? Bloody adore Al Needham.
Up for this, Greggles.
I'll give it a go if I'm not out that night. Which I won't be.
Next Saturday?
We can all just ignore the Halloween theme...
Nailed on. By that I mean, very likely.
Yeah go for it
Saturday 7 November? Yes, please.
Quote from: Janie Jones on November 01, 2020, 12:22:35 AM
Saturday 7 November? Yes, please.
Near enough to Halloween innit
I'm definitely up for this also. Can't do much worse than I do on the Chart Music quiz, he says hopefully.
It's much easier than Here Comes Jism.
Although I compile it, so I know all the answers.
8pm Saturday
Plenty booze on standby
I'll post the link on the day
So this is tomorrow. I'll be grand if you're covering 1966-84, anything in the last 36 years, not so much. Whatever, it's just a birra fun. See you tomorrow Dr Greggles
Not sure there's much 60s in there, but the rest is a broad enough mix.
All answers have been verified by Paul Gambaccini (pictured below, taking a shit in a library).

Is it 'safe' to post the link in this thread, or should I send it via PM?
I think you'd be ok there. We post zoom links...
True. And uninvited nutters have hardly ever appeared!

I'm hoping to join, assuming I manage to download the correct software.
My Nan managed it, so you should be OK.
She's banned from attending tonight though. The foul-mouthed cunt...
We have begun
Yesssss
come in everyone
Thanks for that Dr Greggles. My first public CaB appearance and extremely good fun. Lovely te to meet you all. Even the other Scottish bloke who beat ne, Cheers.
My performance attained little beyond mid table mediocrity but I thoroughly enjoyed that Dr Greggles, a thoughtful and entertaining quiz. Too many clever Scots for my liking ;-) but otherwise a grand evening. Thank you.
Yeah, thanks all. Was fun. Special thanks to Dr Greggles for his amazing big quiz compilation skills.
To celebrate, I thought I should share this clip, where the poetic beauty of the Inverness accent can be enjoyed in full, uttering the most beautiful saying, 'that's nae a baunk machine, it's a fence'.

Take it from me Janie, I know very little else about any other subject. i just wanted to prove I actually exist as I've never taken part in any other CaB thing before. Enjoyed it though. And lovely to actually see that some of you actually exist as well. Soz for buggering off from the Zoom thing so soon but I really did need a dump.
Glad everyone enjoyed it.
Might try to do another one in a couple of weeks.
I woke up with Go by Moby in my head this morning. So I played the video on youtube and he's not bald at all. I demand a recount.
He's very bald indeed by society's standards, but a hairy motherfucker by CaB's.
Very fair point.
Fuck it, I'll do another one this week.
#InternationalBreak
Excellent. Just wanted to record thanks in the thread for what was a fuck-ton of work. It was a great evening.
Well, I've got at least 12 other quizworths of rounds I've already made.
Might as well get some mileage out of them.
Are you running a quiz tomorrow (Saturday) Dr Greggles?
I will if there's enough interest.
interested!
I'd be up for a bit of quizzing too.
Might as well then!
7:30 start?
Can't do this tonight, virtual drink with siblings but would be another time. I'd be dreadful.
7.30 fine for me.

That was fun again. Thanks Greg. I'm slipping down the rankings though (especially after my great start) so I'd better start reading up for the next event. See you there.
My ringers turned out to be a grave disappointment, the shower of shites, but they said it was the best music quiz they'd ever done. Thank you Dr Greggles , keep us informed about the next one
PS, here's what I thought the one that everybody got wrong in the 80s round was. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1wFuG4nlwU
Although I thought it was actually by this lot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9H8QbQ0NRAk
I'd forgotten how much rockabilly there was around at the start of that decade. Thanks for the reminder Greg.
QuoteSaturday 8pm: Man Utd v West Brom
Let's quiz!
Ooh, I'm not sure I can do this one. Who's going to battle for that crucial second place if I'm not there?
Yeah I'd be up for it again. What do you usually consider a minimum number of players Dr G? I'd say a case of the more the merrier.
Half a dozen minimum?
I wouldn't be averse to another quiz, assuming there are enough people.
We'll have a count tomorrow.
Just finished one - fucking exhausting somehow!
I'm in, ready to be trounced by Clatty and Jockice. Almost worth dropping in a quick reminder in the chart music podcast thread. One of those cats might stand a chance!
I'm up for this, I thoroughly enjoy it even though I'm shite at it. But that's only 3 confirmed entrants...
Might have to wait until next week anyway - having tech problems.
Friday night any good?
No worries about tonight. Can't do Friday though
Fair enough. I'm unlikely to make a Friday either, but will join next time I can.
Should be able to do next Saturday, but it'll have to be on a different platform.
Fridays are shit for me. Next sat would be good.
Looks like this will be on Adobe Connect, as it appears to be pretty stable and even the browser version seems to work.
I think this is the link for tomorrow night's shitquiz:
https://meet26313626.adobeconnect.com/vppq/
New platform, so it might be slightly less professional than normal.
This definitely on for tonight then?
Yep, if there are enough takers.
Do you recommend the app or is the web ok?
No idea - it's new to me!
I think it should be OK on the browser, but we can test it before the important quizness begins.
I'll open the room at 7:30. Hopefully we'll get it all working by 8...
Sorry I missed it. Basically I fell asleep on the couch and didn't wake up until it was too late. Who came second then? I already know who'll have won.
Music was the only winner, Jockice, as always (although we had to sit through some rubbish like The Fall before we got to 2 Unlimited and Patrick Swayze).
We just assumed you'd found something more exciting to do with your Saturday evening.
It wasn't the winning that counted, it was the taking part.
But, more importantly, it was the winning, and Clatty won.
Not sure if there's any interest in doing this tonight, but I've fucked off Adobe Connect (too many audio problems) and have a new platform which will be 100% web-based.
Whether it'll solve the issues on mobile devices, we'll have to see.
Otherwise I'll be crawling back to WebEx cap-in-hand...
Yep, I'm interested. Anyone else around this evening?
Uh huh.
In case anyone is holding back, thinking, 'But I don't want to come last,' fear not, last place is taken care of, I'm in.

Yes, it was that master of Desolation, chicory. Resoundingly. It was a brilliant quiz and even those of us who languish in SECOND last place (yes!) thoroughly enjoy it. Our awed gratitude to erudite and thoughtful quizmaster
Dr Greggles cannot be overstated.
Alright I lost ok, wind your neck in, ;)
Great fun from Greggles. Tons of fucking work, as ever many thanks.
Didn't feel up to doing a quiz last night. I was happy just lying on the couch reading, eating dry roasties (that's nuts, not potatoes) and watching random TV programmes. But I'll be back. With a vengeance. So watch out.
Next week: Christmas Special!

Hurrah! Although I'm not totally sure I'll be able to do it. But Clatty should be back for the Scottish music genius element.

I set aside 30 minutes for this anyway, but it seems OK on Chrome - on Windows, Android and IOS.
Not sure yet. May have something else on, as the kids say. If I'm there I'm there, if not you'll have to find someone else to come second.

Don't think so. Should be able to download it if not.
Mo' lockdown, mo' pop quiz.
I could well be on for that.
I hope nobody's heart sinks if I say I'm up for this, I will use the right gear and not mess it up this time, I promise.
It won't be this Saturday BTW, for 2 reasons:
i) It's NFL Wild Card weekend
ii) I haven't made a quiz (as I'm trying to work out how to run an online horse racing night for Friday)
This Saturday?
If I'm still allowed!
aye
More than likely.
I'll aim for a 7:30pm start.
Ah I can't do this, birthday family zoom on Saturday. Someone else will have to come second last. Sorry to miss it, have fun and if in doubt, remember it's probably not Haysi Fantayzee.
Is this still happening?
Sorry, forgot all about it.
It'll have to be next week.
Good job I didn't bother having a shower and shave today then.
Had to do some actual work on Thursday and Friday - this completely slipped my mind.
Apologies. It's in the diary for next Saturday.

Going down the Gerald Ratner approach of insulting your own clientele now, is it?
Well I'll think very, very carefully about putting this in my diary!
Hang on, he's got something else on at the same time!
Not any more!
Nan's funeral will have to wait...
Other thing rescheduled - Saturday is GO!

Yup.
I'll be on soon, ready to compete for second place.

Lovely stuff, not obvious that you were fit to do it but cheers as always.
It's great because with each passing quiz I not only realise how tragic I am but also learn more about how to operate touchy screen face talk things.
Voice now gone completely.
I just asked Gambaccini to record a 'get well soon' message for you. I even intimated that there could be up to £4.50 in it for him, but he still told me to fuck off.
Sorry to hear about your voice though.
From another thread it appears the last pandemic pop quiz had a special guest, the one and only SARS-CoV-2. Feels sort of like when the artist would come out on Jukebox Jury.
Hope you're feeling better now Dr G.
Hopefully through the worst of it.
'Normal' service will return soonly.
Blimey, it was Covid after all then.
Still - plenty of time to compile pop quizzes and plot revenge against your Covid-spreading workmate.
It's been mainly the latter...
Would there be any interest in a SNPQ this weekend?
Yes please, if there's enough interest to make it worth your while.
Yes, that would be post-corona poptastic.
Could be on for this one. It's been a while. Return Of The Jock.
Sure.
Yeah, I'm up for the race for second place.
That's quite arrogant. Either myself or JJ could be in contention. Oh who the fuck am I kidding.
It's not the winning, it's the taking part!

+1 karm
Yes,it was fun. Cheers.
what a load of old shit
great as always!
By the way Janie, what was the answer to your question? I missed that.
I think it's piss.
I've analysed the lyrics to all three songs, with a tab open for each so I could cross reference because I've got nothing better to do with my Sunday. Nothing! This is one humdinger of a Teatime Themetime, Janie.
What is the link? It's lyrical.
'Beetlebum' by Blur
'Kinky Afro' by Happy Mondays
'Tubthumping' by Chumbawamba
Yep, they all snuck a 'piss' past the radio censor:
Piss on it
Bad, piss ugly things I'm feeling
Pissing the night away
Pissed off something rotten I didn't see that.
Especially when I gave the answer 2 posts above yours!
OK then, What do Squeeze and Pulp have in common in the lyrics for two of their biggest hits? Lest we forget that both bands had two singles that got to number two, so it's one of them. For each band. Might be a bit too obvious but I've caught people out with it before.
And, for added trickiness, both of Pulp's #2 hits were double A-sides!
I think it's piss.
Due to the complete lack of interest in the answer I'm going to tell you anyway. It's that both bands had to do radio edits (of Cool For Cats and Mis-Shapes) to remove the word 'bleeding.' The former had it replaced with 'funny how the missus always looks the blooming same' and the latter with 'cos you're so very thick.'
Just watched the Top Of The Pops performances of both songs. Squeeze did the changed version, Pulp the original. But it was a good few years later. Just shows how times change.
And even later of course, Leona Lewis's Cunting Love topped the charts worldwide.
I WAS STILL PONDERING actually, but TBH I'd never have got it because I've never heard the censored version of either, or if I have I haven't clocked it and just autofilled with 'bleeding'.
I like these. Any more?
Bleeding sell-outs.

Don't think I can do it this time I'm afraid. But happy forthcoming birthday.
Probably won't happen this Saturday now anyway.
I've been warned of a 'surprise' online 'party' for my birthday.
Pretty sure my internet's going to drop after about 10 minutes...
Next Saturday.
Announcing this will hopefully inspire me to make it.
As Neol's Deal Or No Deal machines remain unplugged in darkened pubs I give this a hearty yes!
Aw, I can't do it I'm afraid. But please save the bronze medal for me.
Yes please Greggles
Bumpity bump, is anyone else up for this tomorrow night? It's not worth the good Dr's time if there's just 2 contestants
Yeah, you fuckers!
I'm in.
Hi, yes, I'm in. I had read this as meaning a week on Saturday because I'm an idiot, but it's not like I'm doing anything tomorrow night anyway.

Watch the skies...
Tell me when....was a hit for which band?
'Bring It On' was an album by which Mercury Prize winning band Gomez?
Currently half-pissed in the garden.
Using old files I could do one tonight...
Just saw this, wouldn't have made the short notice but well up for another some time. As Jermaine Stewart sang, we don't have to have a public health emergency to have a pop quiz.
As it turned out, I got far too drunk anyway.
Watch the skies, quizsters.
Watch the skies...
Definitely up for one of these, particularly one in which my boiler isn't about to pack in and humanity isn't hurtling towards another three months of house arrest and respiratory carnage.
Not that your quiz is associated with bad times or owt ;)
Yeah, decided to leave going on on Saturdays for a few weeks to see how things go.
So, in the meantime, thought I'd offer up a shit quiz!
24th?
yeah cool
Can't say for definite yet but if I'm free that evening I may come along.
New page Questions And Answers was a hit single for which punk band?
If there's enough interest by early next week I'll make it.

Just talked yourself out of fourth place there.
Ah, I'd totally forgotten it's a friend's birthday, so I won't be there I'm afraid.
The excuses are coming out now.
It'll probably be the 31st anyway, as my friend is having her housewarming on the 24th - and she's lived there for 15 months!
The 24th it is. Myself and JJ battling it out for first and second, 20 points out of 120 trouncing 19 points out of 120.
Yeah we'd best leave it a week
I am ready and willing to quiz on the 31st.
Ditto.
Look what you've done Jones.
Just lined my ringer up for the 31st. Shameless. Still won't trouble the top three.
Round suggestions are welcome.
Then probably ignored, but the suggestions are welcome.
Ace Of Base round.
I won't be around on the 31st either. Can't you retire third place in my honour or something?
Quote from: Chicory on July 18, 2021, 11:13:00 PM
Ace Of Base round.
They've had a sufficient number of hits to merit a featured artist round...
Sussudio round.
Might prove tricky, but I'll see if there's something suitable at PQ HQ.
WANK!
Done that as a link round before...
Won't be next Saturday due to reasons beyond my control now meaning that I doubt I'll be home in time to do it. NOT MY FAULT!

Yeah, with zoom client installed on a MacBook. Didn't work on a tablet for some reason - take note, punters.
I think Zoom have just pushed out an update, so it could be that.
That's why there's half an hour set aside at the start for tech support.
OK, I think we're live.
apologies for the abrupt exit, laptop battery died. cheers, good quizzin' as always
Janie should think herself lucky. I've got sodding Spagna in my head now. It was also on Pick Of The Pops this afternoon. Gambo and Dr Greggles have teamed up to haunt my dreams with fright-wigged Italian women.
And on that note I'm off to bed. Thanks for a fun evening everyone. Call me. Call me. Do do do it. If you want. But the phone's firmly off.
Very enjoyable, cheers Greggles.
PS, me and my legendary girlfriend's 'song' was also played. I'm going to leave that one as a mystery though. Because I like being enigmatic.
The Chicken Song?
Brilliant quiz Greggles, someone has to come last, I'm happy to be that person. My ringer said how much he loves these quizzes, so that's nice. Thank you.
Excellent fun as per, Dr. That link round was fiendish. I even said at one point that the only good thing about 'Falling Down' by Oasis is that it was their last single. Still didn't figure it out. Duh!
Can't remember if I mentioned it, but I'm looking at doing these monthly.
11th or 18th of September?
The latter would be best for me, although as it's the day after my birthday and I'm rapidly hurtling towards death I can't guarantee my attendance.
18th.
OK, let's say that then.
Probably works best for me too, as I have to go somewhere the day after and can't be trusted if I go out.
Next Saturday (4th September)?
11th or 18th good, 4th bad (for me).
It might still be bad for me too, but a gig I was going to just cancelled.
Oh, it's up here.
Thought it'd vanished.
Well I'm not free on the 4th so you may as well cancel the whole thing this very moment.
4th is a no go.
18th it is!
Still good for Saturday night, quiz kids?

Should still be able to make it though. Not like I'm doing anything else.
Call me crazy, but would a 7pm (for 7:30pm) start work for y'all?
Or is that too early?
And apologies for saying "y'all".
Fine by me.
Need to start early if we're going to squeeze in all 462 rounds...
If I can get my old Dec 2020 iPad to splutter into action in time, no problem.

Yes, see you later
At my age this is probably wise.
Yeah, any latecomers may miss out on the special mystery prize.

Terrific but I'm off banjos for a couple of years, cheers!
Nice jingles, sir.
Thanks

Looking at potential dates for next month's shitfest.
9th?
Actually, is that the London meet?
16th or 23rd - which works better?
either for me ta
Aiming for the 16th
Can't do either, in fact Saturday nights are unlikely to be free for me henceforth. You could always just freeze a revolting screenshot and give it half marks for each round for the authentic JJ-joining-quiz experience.
Doesn't look like there's much interest anyway.
For what it's worth, I'm still interested but would have to be November now.
Sorry, meant to reply. Happy to go with sometime in November if that lets more people take part.
This Saturday or 6th November
I can do either of those.
Probably 6 November for me.
6th is ok.
OK, so this will be Saturday night, if there's enough takers.
New jingles and a guest appearance from Gambo are guaranteed*.
*guarantee may not be honoured
Still in.
It was the promise of Gambo, wasn't it.
No, because I know you are the kind of man to incrementally raise your Patreon to now get THREE (3) mentions on CMP.
FOUR (4)...
Should also be in.
Well, that's 3 of us!
Starting to make it today.
There may be a new new round!
Any other takers for tomorrow night?

7:30 for 8:00?
Fine for me.
That was fun, I was extremely shit at it but it was a good quiz. Cheers pal!
Good to see you Angrew and your rather excellent hair.

Like the Olympics, it's not about the winning, it's about taking part.
But it's also about the winning...
Thanks Dr G, looking forward to the Christmas quiz.
18th Dec?
Works.
I will be 'doing a thing'[nb]No seriously![/nb] for every remaining Saturday of 2021, soz.
The 18th might not be possible anyway, as I'll be at a 'thing' in London during the day.
Saturdays looking busy in December - not even due to drinking!
Friday the 17th?
Saturdays tend to be better for me than Fridays, but 17th might be OK as long as I don't get invited to any sort of Christmas thing. You know what it's like at that time of year - people want you to go places and not be grumpy. Such an imposition.
Yeah, December's a fucking nightmare.
Crazy idea, but how about Thursday 23rd?
Yeah, sure.
Last day at school innit

Tentative yes from me.
Can we bring our toys in? If so yes.
You can sit on whatever you wish.
I'll still be drunk.
