Westward Ho! und

Round one was right up  Steve's street, being a collection of pictures featuring the movies of Streep and Roberts. Unfortunately Steve wasn't there so we muddled through as best as we could getting 8/10

The Current Affairs round was the usual eclectic mix ranging from Halfords new blazing hot Chopper for £250 to someone  taking 25 years to build a replica of the Titanic's dining room. I sometimes look at what I've just written and wonder if I'm making it all up. 6/10

The Geography round was just too easy 10/10

The connections round would have been right up Graham's street featuring answers such as Jackson pollock, Abraham Lincoln, Marco Pierre White, John Denver, Marshall Montgomery and Otto Van Bismark. Unfortunately Graham wasn't there so we had to find the connection on our own which was/is U.S. State capitals. 10/10

The big 10 pointers were who played Ma Larkin and what is Sting's  Christian name.. The one that caught us out was what county is Westward Ho! in? We plumped incorrectly for Dorset. 20/30

The top 10 question should have been right up our collective streets being: name the top 10 premier league scorers. Unfortunately we spent so much time arguing about Ian Wright not being on the list (he's actually number 16 having scored quite a few of his before the premier league started) that  we managed to miss off both Rooney and RVP. Got the rest though for a par score of 8/10

Wipeout round was safely navigated with us avoiding 1 question and getting the remainder correct. 9/10

Music was pretty much there or thereabouts and I made it that we got about 16/20

It was pleasing to come home 4 points ahead of the nearest challengers and with £950 in the kitty  this did lead to some conjecture as to how Steve has been funding his recent holidays.

The evening ended on a deep discussion as to whether Man truly is an Island  -we failed to answer this satisfactorily 0/1

  1. RVP and Rooney missed? Not so much up your street as down the drive, through the front door and sitting on your sofa.
