Writing this a bit blind having left just prior to the music round with none of the notes. Was very hopeful of a win but apparently it was not to be. If we were beaten by someone getting a Jeopardy bonus then they must have got the star of seventies UK women’s prison series ‘Within these walls’.
Smike from Nicholas Nickleby. This kept up my impressive 100% recent record on Dickens questions. 10 points as well for Luxembourg’s pre Euro currency, the Luxembourg Franc.
If the wining team didn’t get the Jeopardy bonus then it must have been down to a poorish first half. Only half marks in the current affairs, but who would have guessed that 2 scouse pensioners would get an Asbo for leaving a welcome mat outside their front door!
A quite baffling connections round as well, still don’t know what the connection was. None of us could remember this lot duetting with Tony Christie on ‘Walk like a panther’.
All Seeing I. Can heartily recommend their collaboration with Phil Oakley, ‘1st Man in space’.
Probably our most glaring error came in the chain letters round. Weekly magazine/paper founded in 1843, starts with E ends in T. How many clues do we need?
That’s about it, fairly sure we would have banged the music round.
In other news, Flightradar24 was voted app of the week, and we can now stop bidding against Daren for Star Wars figures online. He still doesn’t know who is pushing the prices up, but it’s not so funny any more as he may well be declared bankrupt soon.

ReplyDeleteGrand stuff and find football results today. Grand National, not so good.
ReplyDeleteCheap shot. Lincoln have played two less and only behind on goals scored. Only scraped a fourth place in the house GN sweepstake myself.
ReplyDeleteConnections was ‘Double’ as in double Dutch. Not really sure of much else tbf. Apparently it’s not so much that I forget these days, more that I no longer make memories
