A record turnout of hounds this week at the Greyhound with Pete joining Daren, Kevster and myself. Sadly this wasn't reflected in the opposition with only three teams in total participating.
The first round caused a fair bit of head scratching, questions like "Who is the chair of the Osteoporosis charity" and "what is the former profession of Sue Barker's and Penelope Keith's husbands" made us think whether we should get our coats. We stuck with it though and a decent joker round on music and respectability on films steadied the ship.
One of the features of recent quizzes has been the various games on Kevster's HTC or whatever it is. Last week we made elements, this time green pigs, Frogger and a clever little heart rate monitor all featured. Who knows what next?
Two bowls of halftime chips proved a real bonus and fortified us for another strong round for the hounds, The Royals. Bit miffed to not get "Which king's horse did Emily Davison throw herself under" but solid rounds on the Living World and Pot Luck pulled us round.
With there only being three teams we'd marked rounds from all our opposition at some point. Daren's prediction was 2nd place and so it proved. However that was good enough for a refund of the entry fee and a bottle of wine which we promptly guzzled.
All in all the Greyhound is a convivial venue and lets hope there remains enough interest in the quiz to keep it going. Thursday night does seem to be quiz night in Carshalton and maybe there's too much choice. Bit of a hangover the next day, always a good sign.
