Brief one this (apologies - I wrote it and thought I posted it last weekend but evidently not...)
The regular Hounds were joined briefly by The Long Fingered One, who couldn't actually stay for the quiz, and then by that most female of all the Bears. Who was most welcome and, I'm quite sure, made to feel so...
The winning £30 voucher from a few weeks back was rapidly spent on brain food and we marched, seated, into the picture round - six out of ten was all we were good for, most irritatingly missing the author of the recent bestselling Vampire trilogy (Stephanie Meyer).
First round proper was entitled 'Plant World' which we had steadfastly refused as a possible Joker round but then returned a score of 10/10. We did play our joker on the Halloween Music round (which turned out to be a film round by any other definition) and doubled up for 14 points.
'Children's TV' got us 7 more, 'Soul & Motown' returned a paltry 5, 'Pot Luck' got us 6 more and we could do no better than 6 points on the 'Fictional TV Couple - name the baby' round.
54 points overall - 4 ahead of the team in third but 9 behind the winners.
We had our entry fee returned and a bottle of wine - which disappeared faster then Mrs Bear might have initially thought it would...
Five weeks into The Greyhound experience and it's 2 wins, 2 seconds and a third.
Roll on next week...
