Another decent turnout, 6 sizeable teams. Robson has bought the cheapest tablet on the market and plans to go to Palace v Southampton, Daren is upping his meds and being nice to cats, and yours truly may have to spend some time up north mummy sitting.

Famous leaders when they were younger, we didn't get 7 (can't remember who), or 10 (Berlusconi).

Current affairs not too bad, 20 or so hours in nobody has seen a plastic tenner with Jane Austen on the back yet. Apple's latest gadget phone cost £1K, France has the 2024 olympics and George Osborne may be a serial killer.

The long promised Cult TV round then ensued. Daren dredged up 'Burt with a U' Ward as playing Robin in the sixties, I successfully learned the Prisoners number when swotting up, Robin knew Buffy's surname. The Pangalactic Gargleblaster was a team effort.

Connections round went Eye of the Tiger, Plymouth Hoe, Shin Pads etc. Ok, body parts then. Goddess of the rainbow, Iris probably the hardest, Desert Island Discs topical given our pre match discussion of said body parts. Ten pointers successfully negotiated, but we needed all 3 minutes to zero in on Louis XVI as being Marie Antoinette's other half.

Missed a couple of chain letter q's again. 2002 Winter Olympics were in Salt Lake City, and we also missed the widely renowned Yordas cave situated in N Yorks.

   

Somewhere around this point a lovely surprise. Daren's mystery phone call turned out to be Tina on her way back from Brighton dropping in to boost numbers. A solid start but we didn't feel that we should stick our neck out on 'Sailing By' being the theme music for the shipping forecast or some other question that was surely Amsterdam but we didn't actually know. Some debate over whether Kevin Kline or Mike Palin won best supporting role oscar for Wanda (it was KK, but he would'not have got Robson's vote). And a spelling debate regarding skin pigment substance.

Nailed the music on first listen, except may have put down wrong Squeeze song. First place, deserved I think, but as ever margins on the Jeopardy were thin.

Julie's cubs have a GK quiz on Sat 7 Oct, usual two-course dining plus raffle for £10 a head. BYO booze. I'm in.

Daren recommended Google pics to add images to blog. What fun!
