Thursday's Hound is thin of hair...

Stardate 5 June 2014: 7:15 p.m. - What is this abomination coming from the speakers in the Purley Arms, volume cranked up to 11? Daren was not impressed, and with the possible exception of one AC/DC number it was easy to see why.

Onto the questions... all you need to know is;

Blue Moon = 2nd full moon in any calendar month

Harvest Moon = nearest full moon to the Autumnal Equinox in the Northern hemisphere, usually occurring in September.

Jeopardy round blown and along with it our last chance of winning. We were also poor on the picture round (disney villains) and Top 10 boys name with Oscar and Ethan being amongst those that we missed. A question that often comes in different guises and always causes trouble is the biggest etc. mediterranean island by area. For future reference the top 5 in order are Sicily, Sardinia, Cyprus, Corsica, Crete. No doubt we will be asked for the sixth largest next time.

The box of Maltesers was however ours, for being nearest on a question regarding passenger traffic through Heathrow.

What we have learned from this week's trip to the PA apart from the above...

Fabregas may as well not bother coming back to the PL, his style of play doesn't suit any of the teams therein.

Any Bermudan visitors to this blog may well meet a hound in person before long. Ditto x up to 6 for those in Northern Cyprus.  

Angelo Matthews is in with a chance of both the nobel peace prize and BBC overseas sportsman of the year.

Tony Yeboah scored more than one blinding goal in that year.

Kevster has 5 million in his sights on 2048 8x8 version.

There was also a small amount of debate regarding a playlist of songs with days of the week in their title. A survey based on my own itunes library (sample size 50,000, cover versions counted separately but not alternative versions of a song by the same artist) gave the following results;

Monday 31

Tuesday 13

Wednesday 9

Thursday 5 (0.01%)

Friday 22

Saturday 61

Sunday 54

Thus confirming Daren's comment re Thursday. The 5 Thursday songs for the record are Holy Thursday (David Axelrod), Thursday (The Futureheads), Sweet Thursday (Icicle Works), Thursday (Pet Shop Boys feat,Example), and Thursday's Child (Tansads). Others available on application. Special mentions for Big Country (Monday Tuesday Girl) and The Levellers (Saturday to Sunday) for fitting two weekdays into one song title.

Confusion reigns as to whether or not the World Cup opener will thwart next week's quiz. The England game the week after almost certainly will so it could be 3 weeks until the next blog.
