A new week and the Hounds chose to "freshen up" the lineup with Az replacing Daren and Tina and joining Kevster and myself. Pre-quiz chat majored on the various employment, health and marital travails of our number, I felt a bit left out at this point but remember the saying, the person who's not laughing is the one the joke's on. My legs ached a bit though.
Onto the quiz and it was to be a straight match between ourselves and The Desperates, a team of three ladies sat next to us. Not wishing to generalise but we suspected "football" might be prove a stronger round for us, while the first round, "Musical Movies" maybe not so.
And so it proved; Peterkins might have improved our score but we struggled to a miserable four. Things picked up after that, the traditional musical joker was ok, The Coral (and in my lonely room ah oo) still don't know what it's called, and our score of six on football proved to be six better than the opposition.
Some nicely worked answers on Geography was the precursor to a good second half, and even the picture round didn't cause any problems. Naturally we swapped papers and despite the poor start no photo-finish was required and the Hounds emerged victorious. Now it was one of the Desperate's birthdays, the most "amusing" present being a shewee. Thankfully no demonstration was given but Kevster suggested the Hound's present should be a swap of prizes. Imagining Tina's fury at this suggestion, I pooh-poohed the idea so we have an incentive for next week, maybe Daren's coming out party!
