Wonderful Hound

Ok, another economical three ball, Daren, Graham and myself. Pre quiz focussed on:
- We would be no pussies in the Jeopardy round, would this make us or break us?
- You can get all the prescription drugs you need for £29.10 a quarter. Wonder what Elvis would have made of this, not that he needed the discount.

The actual quiz kicked off with dingbats. One better than the usual seven I think.

On current affairs I was personally disappointed that a story about Sammy the seal falling asleep in a ladies toilet in Tasmania didn't make the cut, being the only thing I'd really taken an interest in all week. What did vex us was the two countries moaning about their traditional Olympic costumes. One was Georgia.

Ok, not that flattering I guess.

Next, sport and leisure. Now can someone explain to me how you play hockey left handed? I get polo as a definite but surely hockey is always played right handed? Pokemon Go anyone?

The connections, well. Another of those we got nearly all of the answers but the link baffled us. Also we showed our collective ability to confuse Bruno and Olly wasn't linked to the music round. Frankly they should do the decent thing and merge. One was rear of the year, I'm sure that gives it away.

Ten pointers were hit out of the park, as were the cheesy snacks and on we went. The Link ups round is probably our favourite now and didn't disappoint. Onto Jeopardy and would we be true to our word?

Answer, no. But there were mitigating circumstances. Who knows what the 5th event in a heptathlon is as well as the plane that unloaded over Nagasaki? There were differing opinions on the Shakespeare play starting with a shipwreck as well. Maybe we left a couple out there.

Music, no notes here, no doubt we struggled with something Britpop and that infernal debate on Bruno etc. But guess what? Hound win! About 7 out on our guess of the score, but just as well.
