7th October 2010- The 'Grey'Hound pt 2

Following last week's pleasant discovery, and straightforward enough win, of the Greyhound's weekly quiz in Carshalton Robson and Kevster gathered again, joined this time by a becasted and becrutched Daren.

With the £30 food voucher from last week's win burning a hole in the collective pocket the menu was quickly perused and food orders placed.

We were presented with the titles of the rounds, from which to choose which we would play our 'joker' on for double points. We spurned 'Great Britain, 'Invisible', 'Connections' and 'Pot Luck' and plumped, somewhat predictably, for 'Music'. There were also three 'picture rounds' to frustrate us...

The first two of these weren't really 'picture rounds' in the traditional sense, one being a list of 10 boxing weights needing to be placed into ascending order (over to Robson for this one and he duly obliged with 8/10) and the other being a series of 10 'dingbats'. These proved harder than we casually assumed and we only got 6/10 - the one's we missed out on being;
"PePPermint",
"Blu e",
"xmascara" and
"Dr. Cri__en" *

The final picture round was much more traditional and we were traditionally troubled by it. But by that stage we'd already scred heavily on Great Britain, got 9/10 (18/20 with our joker) on Music and an average 5/10 on the Invisible round. Further consistent scoring on 'Connections' and 'Pot Luck' saw us home in first place for the second week running and by a comparably comfortable margin of 9 points.

In the midst of all that Robson enjoyed some Youngs Beer Bangers and Mash, I had a perfectly pleasant Venison burger and very nice relish and we split a somewhat random but nonethless delicious gammon terrine! After all that it was no suprise that the half-time bowl of complimentary chips went largely untroubled.

So, we won again - pocketing enough money to cover the return cab fare and another £30 food voucher. All that remained to be done was for Kevster to forcibly and repeatedly state his opposition to Jose Maria Olazabal's proposed Captaincy of the next European Ryder Cup Team. Obvious really. And then we went home.
