Bit of a late start for me this week, I had another social in Gipsy Hill to attend so Theo got to the JF before I did. Conducted the Daily Mail quiz by text on the train on the way up to Purley so got warmed up into quiz form. Kevster and Daren were the other attendees.
Round One went ok. I'd confused the Kensington Oval with the Kennington Oval and suggested Surrey instead of Barbados - thankfully Daren overruled. We also successfully identified Grace Kelly as the first actress to appear on a stamp. Now we've taken to recording our first round score and with a real score of 27 we felt a strong early position was assured. We were somewhat dismayed to score 26 and be in the pack. Dismayed put it mildly in Daren's case and he was on the brink of rioting. Thankfully Theo popped over and having checked our paper confirmed we had actually scored 27 - he didn't seem too bothered about it though. This compared well with the Hamster's real score of 20.
Onto the music and it was one of those rounds with a soul type theme. None of our strong suits and we demonstrated this with picking The Stylistics over the Drifters for "You're More Than A Number..." Still in the pack though. Round three and again steady performances, 4 out of 5 on films, good for us and 4 out of 5 on True or False - exceptional. A remarkably easy anagram - LATITUDE - and we awaited the results. Well, it's not really our turn to win and the expected joint third was achieved behind surprise winners the Hamsters.
Onto the reason we were there and three keys for £800 in the raffle. The ticket went to Quizzards Sleeve and we feared a repeat of the Christmas win. Thankfully Robyn - though we do like her - picked the wrong key and next week it gets really exciting.
