New BloodHound

Robson and myself joined by Nigel and Gerry for the 3rd and 2nd time respectively.

Round 1 fashion designers, we got 10. Gerry with the best call on Karl Lagerfeld.

Current Affairs is getting easier or we are paying more attention. 9 out of 10 again. Missing only that New Zealand is the country planning an unprecedented cull of cattle to eridicate disease.

Fairly easy Food & Drink round followed. Momentary aberration led us to saying Massaman Curry is  Malaysian, should have been Thai.

Challenging connection which we only got at at Q7. All English rivers, Sark, Kemp, Fender, Camel (backfilled), Churn, Chess, and this one that finally did it for us.

The River Mole.

3 fairly standard 10 pointers including the Chicken Song by Spitting Image. 106 out of 110 at halfway mark. That perfect first half will surely come...

Not much to say about chain letters round except that we got them all. Daffodil, Liger... Nomad.

Jeopardy round started well. Only Robson knew this little mite’s name.

Mr Jingles/Jangles from the film The Green Mile. Thankfully Siobhan accepted either. Still going at Q8 but more than one opinion about what RSJ means in terms of load bearing in construction.

Rolled Steel Joist to be precise. I don’t think any of us got it quite right, so good one to swerve. Only 1 music point dropped, couldn’t recall Stephanie Mills as the singer of I Never Knew Love Like This Before. Good song guess for Judy Boucher by myself.

Won at a canter, against not much opposition to be fair. Would have won even if Jingles/Jangles had been marked harshly. Gerry retains a 100% record.

Quick mention of good day at Epsom the next day. Robson, Pete and Myself basking on the hill. Had a good few winners between us including in The Oaks itself.
