Master Of Hound

Ok, Graham and I were bolstered by Gerry and Nigel adding their considerable knowledge to the team. And it was needed straight away. Or probably not, we could have coped with 10 pictures of breakfast cereal. Team favourite, Alpen/muesli, least favourite, all-bran. Yuk, if it scored have scored 11th it would have done.


Ok, onto Current Affairs, what we didn't know was the North African country to recently outlaw forced marriage, Morocco the rascals and the recent celeb Big Brother winner, Ryan Thomas! Yes, who indeed. Let's have a picture.



Ryan Thomas, hoping its the right one.


Next up, Tom Hanks films. And again, not so bad, failing only with the name of the character he played in Saving Private Ryan.



Captain Miller, at least we got the Captain part.

Round 4 was back to name the year. Now I think The Ariana Grande should really be the name of a ship but it was actually the Costa Concordia that sank off Tuscany. Along with Felix Baumgartner's sky dive and Lonesome George's death, what was the year? Flipping a coin between 2011 and 2012 we called wrong.


Onto 10 pointers and I didn't have a clue what show the Aidensfield Arms (real name the Goathland Hotel, available for bookings) features but thankfully at least one of us did.



Locals on the way to the chippie.

So half-time, in decent shape and looking forward to linkups. Not to much fuss but well done to Gerry for knowing the ecclesiastical capital of Ireland was Armagh, linking us back to the Cuban capital.

So it was down to Jeopardy to surely decide it. And which carol does end Hosanna in excelsis? Cue much carolling and many "tra la las" later, it was indeed Ding Dong Merrily On High. Ding dong indeed. But who was Archbishop of Canterbury when women priests were first ordained (and frankly, who cares?). But it was,


Think we'd cut it down to two. And how much is the TV license? Well, about £150 wasn't going to cut it so we settled for an eight. Music, well we did enough, Hound win!

Ok, the serious business of next week.

Provsional roles and responsibilities, I don't think we're giving too much away here.
