112 Hound

Don’t think we have ever had a perfect first half, partly due to the current affairs round. Well we scored 112 compared to the usual maximum of 110 thanks to two extra dingbats in the pictures round. The only slip was the established singer who warned Ed Sheeran that he won’t always be popular. One of these two....

Daren got it right but was outvoted. Elton not Rod.

Geography round didn’t tax us much. Connection was all appeared on Bank of England banknotes. Including this bloke apparently...

Bottom note not top.

Robson identified the Tory party’s “Quiet Man” for 10 points.

I know that North and South Korea have been cosying up to each other lately, but the chain letters round required Korea to be a country, a bit premature I think. The Anoraks decide to claim that this product was from Kenya rather than go with the obvious.

We couldn’t get the first two of the Jeopardy round. We all thought that we new what everyday item often has the letters YKK on it, but couldn’t call to mind what it was. It was this...

Question 2 was a Prince Charles/Phillip dilemma so we left that and then answered the remaining 8. However, my call of David Coleman for stating the bleeding obvious about Spurs kit in a famous quote didn’t convince all so we scrubbed that as well and won the quiz right there. It was Motty as Robson suspected all along.

A superb twenty on the music round. R got a  Brother Beyond hit rather impressively (possibly not the right choice of word). I was overjoyed for having, at the very last minute, dredged up Susan Maughan as the singer of Bobbie’s Girl. £27 kitty.

Dates for the diary include 24 June at Daren’s for England v Panama. Oaks at Epsom 1 June. Other race evenings at Epsom and possible Surrey cricket day. Robson to provide more details.
