The JOE Friday Pub Quiz: Week 278

Charlie Herbert

Do you reckon a member of the cabinet has ever done this quiz?

Hello and welcome back, it’s another Friday at the end of yet another crazy week of news. It feels like that’s been the intro to every quiz for the past six months.

Every week is surpassing the one before in the ‘chaotic news’ stakes.

I wonder whether The JOE Friday Pub Quiz was ever played at a Downing Street party. Nice thought isn’t it? Tory staff quaffing wine whilst they try and remember where the 2007 Champions League final was held.

Anyway, enough of that. This week we’ve got the usual general knowledge, sport, entertainment, as well as some more movie memes and, oh, an entire round on wine for you. I feel like it’s a bit more of a tricky one this week, so anything close to or over 20 is a very solid effort.
