George Hound

Just myself and Robson tonight. Two full rounds on Georges including pictures below.

Don’t think any teams got number 6. Clue is that he was in the news a lot during 2017. Answer at end of post. Rest were perfunctory.

Current Affairs seemed ok but only 6 correct. Millicent Fawcett now has a statue  in Parliament Square, a 12 year old Aussie kid went to Bali on his parents credit card, Vodafone are s**t, and Reading has named a bin lorry after Kate Winslet.

A hot streak of 36 correct answers then followed. A round of George based questions included answers such as dragon, ukulele, Desert Orchid and Sulu from Star Trek.

Connection was people featuring in song titles. Robert de Niro, Romeo & Juliet, and backfilling Joan of Arc and Bette Davis. 

Only Buttermilk troubled us at all in the chain letters round.

We weren’t inclined to gamble on the Jeopardy round, especially as we had no idea who played Mr Wormwood in the film version of Matilda. It was this small fella.

Left one other out but had guessed it right. Then vexillogical disaster struck as I mixed these two up...

Jeopardy meltdown consigning us to second place behind Plan. To be fair we would have needed 9 correct to match them. 4 musical points dropped.

We then somehow got into a pensions/financial products conversation with a bystander. Don’t ask me how.

Picture 6 is George Weah, Liberian president. Should have got it with the clue.
