Daren in Mexico, Robson bound for South Africa, looking forward to some good blog hitting statistics. A few games of macala to settle in and then an unfamiliar quiz mistress this week, with a pretty tough (we thought) set of questions.
The picture round was a mixture of Bond villains and Bond girls. Could have been worse had Robson not seen the new one after checking out yucca plants at IKEA, a couple were from that. The character names were requested which proved tough for e.g. Jane Seymour's character in Live and Let Die and a few others. Quite a bit of groaning from all and just the film would do in the end.
IKEA came up again in the current affairs round, I am typing this up well after the end and have little recall of what was actually asked, but other answers included Japan, One Direction and Putin.
Round 3 was Science & Nature. The highlight of this round undoubtedly being what part of the body can be treated using a 'cockup splint'. It turned out to be wrist. Had this been the connections round, the answer would definitely have been merchant banking with other entendres for doing it by hand as well. Limnologists study lakes, arches, loops, whorls & composites were correctly identified by Kevster as fingerprints but I had an idea she ultimately gave a different answer? Other questions about chromosones, catgut, aluminium and helium.
The connections round concerned killers, Chrstie, Moat, Bird, Haig, Nilsson, Jack et al.
We missed the middle ten pointer which was "How many of the Magnificent 7 were alive at the end of the film", I think it turned out to be 4. We got 1936 as the year of three kings, and Utopia as Thomas More's island paradise.
The "W" round managed to wind me up. We got (Bruce) Willis after establishing that the surname starting with W was sufficient. We hen failed to get the Hitchcock film starting with W which was "Rear Window" I kid you not.
We were nowhere near getting the Jeopardy round maximum, too many where we didn't have a clue.
A respectable effort at the songs, not much was missed, but third place only with Lady & The Tramp convincingly out front.
Could do better......
