The Hound's Jubulanis

Another early start this week, this time we all went to the same place and settled in the Rectory for some cricket and football watching. I had some very fruity cider which proved to be about the best drink of the evening.

Onto the JF and after some musical chairs, the Hound table became free and we pounced. The first pint offered was some very vinegary Pride, the next was an improved Youngs but still not spot on. Pete's certainly felt the worse for wear later and I was forced to switch to Guinness. Anyway, we disgress, onto a generally successful Round 1, we correctly identified it was CK Obsession which attracts big cats and that Meryl Streep played Karen Blixen in Out of Africa and Justin Timberlake kicked things off in N'Sync. Scores ranged from 25 to 28 with us just first.

Onto music and Daren pulled a stormer identifying Sixpence None The Richer. More difficult to identify were "Darlin'", the singer of "Don't Upset The Rhythm" and the usual 70's disco number, we put the Drifters, it was the Tavares. Whatever. Scores ranged from 56 to 64, offering hints of a slightly more objective scoring system with Hounds poised on 62.

Onto the last round and I've forgotten all the questions but we didn't do badly. We bagged all the last ten, four out of five of the true or false and I think only three wrong on the whole round. Not bad and hopes were high but somehow we managed to finish joint 3rd, again. Bah! Anyway, we'd gone long on the raffle with only four keys but unsuccessful there as well, as was the winning ticket though he did get £20 for his trouble. Can't remember what we talked about afterwards but it kept us there until about a quarter to twelve.
