27th August 2009

It was Kevster, Daren, Tina and myself who made up the team and we
arrived at the JF with our hopes high. The first task was selecting the
team name and scanning the paper for topical themes, it was clearly a
slow news week so we settled on "Revenge Of The Cyber Hound". Onto the
quiz and probably fair to say, a bit easier than some but that's no
consolation as it only means that those 50/50 decisions are that much
more important. One such that vexed us was "At Which London Tourist
Attraction do visitors spend the most per head?". Well in true Hound
fashion we got the right answer (Madame Tussauds) and talked ourselves
into the wrong one(O2 Arena). There were some good answers though,
Rihanna, 11, and False to name but a few.

Early on I got the impression that it was one of those nights that the
quizmaster couldn't be bothered with a tiebreak round and so it proved,
we were just off the pace the whole way and finished third to the
Pickled Eggheads. A good night had by all though.
