A typical Hound spotted earlier

Low-Key Hound

Whilst inebriation has fairly been blamed for forgetfulness and missing bear traps in the past, sobriety seems to give a low-key feel to the whole thing. Surely a new record low for average per capita alcohol consumption and ultimately a low-key defeat.

TV detectives in the pics, a good guess at Rebus, only Barnaby from Morse missed and may even have got 1 point for that.

Current affairs and possibly one of the all-time greatest stabs in the dark identifying that 2500 products have fallen in size according to the ONS over a 5 year period. Almost spooky. Didn't know that the aussies are recalling loads of cars, or that a Japanese fella's wife destroyed his valuable collection of violins. Pop star behaving badly was Justin Bieber again, not quite such a difficult guess.

Enjoyable history round nearly aced, WW1 footy match was xmas 1914 not 1915. Connections was people who have released albums. Richard Harris was a red flag spotted by Robson and the likes of Telly Savalas and Clint Eastwood quickly confirm.

For the first ten pointer we were nowhere near, didn't even know that Roger Rabbit was a Disney film, let alone recognise any of the 3 characters given. Pretty sure that other teams all got it. So at the back of the pack at this point. Eddie Valiant, Judge Doom and Dolores if you are interested.

Our chain broke for the last 2 chain letter questions, Robins not Ravens covered the bodies in Babe in the Woods, and Sabu played Mowgli in a forties film version of the Jungle Book.

We were never going to go big on the Jeopardy round, not knowing what animal shits expensive arabica coffee beans (elephant) nor Bob the Builders second number one hit (Mambo no 5). We also left out 3 more, 2 of which we did guess correctly, but were obviously blissfully unaware at this point that all other teams had bombed out, nil points. That's our ten points back.

Twenty of twenty in the music, matched by winners by 2 points 'Call Us What You Like'. Since marrying the youngsters are two for two looking for a hat-trick, with their new special guest star someone's mum. 3 other teams trailing a fair distance behind.

Only two of us, so plentyof nice sarnies, especially the egg ones.
