Forgotten Hound

First up, an apology chaps, I chucked out the blogging notes along with other trash this morning. So this is going to have to be from memory, and we know what that's like.

Daren, Graham and myself formed the initial team. And as we were struggling with a set of London landmarks like this one:

In walked Pete. Gaps in the answer sheet were no longer. They might not all have been right, but I think largely they were. Maybe not this one:

Current Affairs. I really can't remember any of the questions or how we did, the news is just so wacky these days. Hard to work what the April Fool joke was last week, could have been anything.

Next round was connections, so not the actual connections round but a round where the connecting theme was the word "connect". Or something.

Then we had the actual connections round and it was wedding anniversary gifts. Now these come up a lot and there are alternatives but here you go.

2ND YEAR: Cotton
3RD YEAR: Leather
4TH YEAR: Fruit & Flowers, or Linen & Silk

7TH YEAR: Wool/ Copper
9TH YEAR: Pottery
10TH YEAR: Tin/ Aluminum
11TH YEAR: Steel
12TH YEAR: Silk
13TH YEAR: Lace
14TH YEAR: Ivory
15TH YEAR: Crystal
20TH YEAR: China

45TH YEAR: Sapphire
50TH YEAR: Gold

Think we got the ten pointers for a decent first half, food was chips and onion rings, much appreciated.

Link ups worked pretty well then onto jeopardy. So:

- Dickens book where Mr Brownlow featured?
- The annual sporting event which was the first BBC filmed in 1931?
- The colour seats in the House of Lords?
- Something else?

Well, first we were going 7, then 10! But filming the Boat Race along 4 1/2 miles of river didn't make that much sense, not that it does now. So we settled on nine. But an administrative error made it zero, I say no more.

But it would have had to have been 10 to win, so moot really.

Ok, to reiterate I have four tickets for Epsom Races on the 25th April that cost me nothing. So pencil in if interested.

To next week.
