Quality not quantity, ok, there weren't many of us but a plural of Hounds is still a pack. Thankfully the regular Hound table was there for us and Daren and myself were there to represent the good name of all things Hound. Corned beef on toast and ham sandwich were the slightly unusual pre-quiz meals, but frankly, cooking doesn't get any tougher than that, not for me anyway.
Lot's of guesses on round 1; which continent has never hosted the Olympics? Which is the longest running TV quiz show? You see where we're coming from? 26/30 wasn't bad but it put us 2 points behind surprise (not least to them) leaders, Quizzards Sleeve.
Onto music and after a few I was frankly flumoxed. Thankfully songs like Run This Town, Feeling Groovy, Cuba and I Owe You Nothing gave us the chance to show our class (get the reference?) and er, not move clear but stay tucked in behind, still surprise leaders, QS.
Onto the last round and unsurprisingly, on sporting turf, the answers were predictably Don't Push It and Leftie though Wladimir and not Vitali was the one to throw down the gauntlet to David Hayemaker Haye. On true or false, I think we got a par 3/5. On the last round 8/10 but sadly missing an anagram to ROASTING though I still think ORATINGS has merit.
In the final analysis we beat one team. Bah! It was all change up front but not for the Hound. At least the raffle wasn't won and the pub was open.

In answer to the three questions posed in para one;
ReplyDelete- Antarctica
- University Challenge
- no
Having taken more time than would have been allowed in the quiz I've come up with 'organist' for the anagram - has that helped?
