'You'll never win anything with kids' is how the old adage goes and bearing this in mind we fielded a team of 3, all in their 'roaring' forties.
Pre match meals consisted of 1) A pork Pie 2) A Chicken fillet burger 3) two pieces of chicken and chips (Just for fun, see if you can match the meal with the player!! It's an on-line, interactive type of thing)
Using the Dail Mail headlines to come up with our team name, Robin's illegible handwriting lead to the Quiz master mistakenly naming us 'Give me 'BARK' my hound' or possibly 'Give me BACH my Hound'.
A strong opening round was marred only by the failure to spot the made up US town from the list;
Short and round
rough and ready
Monkey's elbow
Virgin's town
We continued to shine in the music round, although Robson seemed intent on answering 'Girls Aloud' to every question, whilst Pete just shouted 'Chubby Checker' at anyone that passed our table.
The final round was the usual mayhem and flurry of torn strips of paper and unsurprisingly we found ourselves in yet another play off.
The tie breaker was - 'What is the square mileage of Wales?'.
Crazily some of the answers given were 17, 243 and 400,000 !!!- We were close with 14,000 (Arrived at using the cunning formula of 100w x 100L + 'some more'). Unfortunately the actual answer was 8,900 ish.
We cried into our collective bears and Pete 'arrivederci' for his holiday. That is all
