    Fewer guesses than usual, but once again Entertainment did for me.
    Only got two of those and one of them was a guess.

    Pleased with the rest though

    BBC Reaper Weekly quiz: Why were Italian restaurants in a rage about pasta?

    Published
    14th August 2025

    This week saw Donald Trump order the National Guard onto the streets of Washington DC, the publication of a searing new biography about Prince Andrew, and the BBC announce the stars set to take part in this year's Strictly.

    But how much attention did you pay to what else happened in the world over the past seven days?

    Quiz collated by Ben Fell.

    3... Houston. We had a problem... got that guess wrong <doh>

    Enjoy

    I got 4, and thankfully got the Taylor Swift one wrong.

    Cheers @Blond Bombshell.

    The Taylor Swift question, I could forgive a correct guess, but to know it....shocking.

    As the above pushed in and appeared to be too much of a handful for our normal keepers, here's the Sports weekly quiz to help restore some pride...

    The JOE Friday Pub Quiz: week 464

    Charlie Herbert

    And it’s live!
    We’ve made it everyone – the Premier League is back. It’s been a fine summer of sport, from the Lionesses claiming Euros glory again to the British & Irish Lions’ series win in Australia, with a thrilling Test series between England and India thrown in for good measure.

    But the Premier League season getting underway always marks the beginning of the end for the summer months. A return to the familiar rhythm and beats of football on the weekend – the lunchtime kickoff, Final Score, Match of the Day, Super Sunday.

    What do we reckon the chances are that a Premier League footballer is taking this quiz? I’m not expecting Haaland to be sat doing this, but there must be a squad player at somewhere like Burnley or Brentford who is sat there right now, reading these exact words. Hello if you are out there, and go well this weekend (unless you’re a Newcastle player travelling to Villa Park tomorrow, in which case please have a nightmare game, from a hopeful Villa fan).

    Of course, something that doesn’t mess around with summer breaks or seasons is the pub quiz. We’ll be with you every step of the way, whether you need congratulations or consolations.

    Inventions and sci-fi characters are here to float your quizzing boat this week.

    ‘Av it.

    The 50% Guaranteed Quiz

    https://www.joe.co.uk/quiz/the-joe-friday-pub-quiz-week-464-501349

    Wow, struggled in every round for a poor 11
