The pub quiz is believed to have originated from a company called Burns and Porter, which would share their quizzes in the 1970s in order to encourage more regular visitors.
The regular pub quizzes saw pub numbers rise from 30 teams a week to a peak of 10,000 teams.
Burns and Porter went on to publish their own line of pub quiz books and would continue to host weekly quizzes.

Overlooked No More: Molly Drake, a Maternal, Musical Force Behind Nick Drake's Sound
This article is part of Overlooked, a series of obituaries about remarkable people whose deaths, beginning in 1851, went unreported in The Times. She was a devoted wife, a charming hostess and a doting parent to two children who had established themselves as public figures — the musician Nick Drake and the actress Gabrielle Drake. That's essentially all people knew about Molly Drake at her death in 1993. What many did not know was that she was a remarkable artist in her own right — a poet, singer, composer and pianist whose posthumously released home recordings represent a new reference point in 20th-century song. Most of Drake's quiet, melancholic tunes like 'Set Me Free' were written in the 1950s and hit on universal themes of despair, heartbreak, longing and loss. 'I Remember,' one of her most indelible compositions, is a physical and emotional travelogue through the history of a doomed romance. The songwriter Anaïs Mitchell described it in an interview as 'absolutely perfect, a whole world, novella, philosophy encapsulated in three verses and a coda.' The song's lines read, in part: The autumn leaves are tumbling down and winter's almost here But through the spring and summertime we laughed away the year And now we can be grateful for the gift of memory For I remember having fun Two happy hearts that beat as one When I had thought that we were we But we were you and me. Upon hearing the song for the first time, the filmmaker Nathaniel Kahn was rendered nearly speechless. 'It's every lover's story,' he said in an interview. 'It's everything.' Want all of The Times?

Diane Von Furstenberg Expands Line And Unveils New Campaign

Photo Courtesy of Diane Von Furstenberg Not many designers can boast that even their most iconic designs could end up on the cover of a national news magazine. Yet that is precisely where Diane Von Furstenberg's famous wrap dress was in 1976 when it appeared on Newsweek. The dress that debuted 52 years ago was revolutionary not only for its simple and chic design but for how it met the moment for the lives of modern women juggling work outside of the home for the first time en masse. Now, over half a century later, the brand, which has expanded its offerings to fit many cosmopolitan women's wardrobe needs, is evolving further with the addition of a denim collection. Additionally, launching in time for the Fall 2025 collection is a new campaign that harkens back to a young Diane Von Furstenberg. Directed by creative director Nathan Jenden, who has been with the brand in various stints since 2001 and returned in early 2024 after a three-year hiatus, the denim collection offers a festive floral print, structured dark denim, and expands beyond typical jean silhouettes such as five-pocket and original Levi-inspired jackets.

In dark denim, the Michele jumpsuit in denim knit is inspired by Diane's Studio 54 days, another style is a double-breasted jacket dress, and a fit and flare bustier dress. For the Fall 2025 season, the brand tapped model Ansley Gulielmi for a series of images styled by Emma Wyman and shot in New York City by Brianna Capozzi, who has shot campaigns for the brand Pinko and celebrities such as A$AP Rocky, Indya Moore, and Selena Gomez. These images and Gulielmi bear an uncanny resemblance to DVF in the 1970s, a la her Studio 54 and Andy Warhol portrait days. Another picture of the model lounging recalls a memorable photo of the designer sprawled across her bed, which features a curved sunburst pattern, in a room swathed in florals, lace, and a leopard print rug.

Key styles include knitted jacquard suiting and reversible coats lined with faux fur, satin pants, tweed suits, and modern pinstripes on chiffon. Prints, a brand signature, and textures include lace, mesh tulle, plaid, and the Ginkgo Fan print, which returns in a neutral, muted tone. Trompe l'oeil silhouettes merge chiffon skirts with matte jersey bodices, giving the illusion of separates in a single piece. The Virginia Blazer dress returns, as does the tailored DVF shirtdress. Tie neck details meet chiffon dresses, and a smoking jacket appears in satin and printed knit for occasion dressing, with sequin pieces, organza, and hand beading offering additional options.

Photo Courtesy of Diane Von Furstenberg While the brand may be looking ahead to the fall season, before summer ends, the company will host its annual DVF Awards in Venice on August 28th. The Diller-von Furstenberg Family Foundation founded The DVF Awards in 2010 to recognize, support, and amplify the voices of extraordinary women who are dedicated to improving the lives of other women who tackle a variety of issues, from combating climate change and immigration to fighting human trafficking, promoting gender equality, and preventing violence against women. .
