A typical Hound spotted earlier

Curried Hound

Quick one again this week while it rains. Don't actually remember the pictures much so onto current affairs. And it seems 9/10 takeaway ham and pineapple pizzas in Manchester don't contain ham. But who orders ham and pineapple anyway? And law students in Kolkata are studying Harry Potter. And it's Rome hit by storms, as evidenced.




Round 3 was for the London Boys. So well done to Kevster for getting HA9 0WS being the postcode for Wembley Stadium. But frankly he needed to. And for some reason I've got 47 Fleet Street written down which just seems to be some old wine bar?


Round 4 was guess the year and right in the memory vaults. So Gorbachev introduced perestroika, much of Montana burned and Colin Pitchfork will never be quite so famous again.




1988 of course.


Released just after was the movie Tango and Cash. I'd like to say a classic but really not. Just one of the ten pointers we bagged though.


The link-ups featured no clever link of the last letters spelling something so really not up to scratch. In jeopardy, one of those where actually best guesses would have got all ten but some justified uncertainty left us settling for the certain ones. In 1985 this caused quite a stir.




Must really have had too much time on our hands back then.


Musical Youth, Erasure and Outkast were just some of the musical acts and 5050 made it a domestic double n(n+1)/2 where n = 100. So by way of celebration it was next door to Gurkha Spice! Go Hound.


Right, I've had a reply back from Only Connect. I'll cover this on Whats App.


Ciao.
