A few drinks with the boys uptown, and back to the PA during the picture round to join a lonesome Robson...
All pictures beginning with F, we failed to identify a close-up of a flip-flop. A straw poll of 3 at home and they all get it within a few seconds. We got fennel though far from sure.
No written record of Round 2 exists in any known archives, not even sure if we had a current affairs round? We got 7 out of 10 is all I can ascertain.
Rd 3: Politics. 5000 was our only incorrect answer, I think it referred to lost deposits and should have been 500. Father was a trapeze artist, female speaker, first PM, Tory Chelsea fan, that kind of standard quiz question.
Connections were all terms for prison, we only got it fairly late but considered drugs based on fix and Rock at first. Cage, Nick, Bird etc sorted it out..
2 out of 3 ten pointers but nobody admits to getting Oliver McCall as vanquished by Frank Bruno in 1995 for a world heavyweight title. We proposed Bonecrusher Smith.
A full bag for the chain letters round, working hard to get Ryan's DaughteR (John Mills oscar winning film), and SucculenT (something to do with water absorbing trees).
The first question in the Jeopardy round ensured that we weren't playing for the bonus points. What American Art Nouveau designer was famous for his stained glass works and lamps? We only left one other out but seems unlikely that anyone will get ten.
Music generally well within our comfort zone, think I identified the wrong Ronettes song, and we mistook Eminem for something completely different.
Siobhan reveals that someone has indeed got all 10 for the Jeopardy. The usual reverse order sees all our principal competitors come below us in our creditable second place. Wait a minute, she hasn't mentioned "Call Us What You Like". The young 'uns with two more mature guests, only a couple of weeks married, eschew tradition to top the heap. Surely someone's mum their mystery 4th member will be asked back after this stunning debut. A more than popular result in the house with all teams.
Tiffany was the US designer, yes I have heard of the lamps.

ReplyDeleteAll credit to "Call us what you like". Now we have to call them winners.
ReplyDeleteFor what it matters, Round 2 was all numerical answers, though less esoteric than might have played to our strengths.
