Daren's Mighty Hound Quiz

With Siobhan off again, this time to Vegas baby, it was Daren's turn to take the role of quizmaster. Numbers were looking thin on the ground to start with but D2 managed to persuade some Purley language school students to take part and we were off. This would test their language skills like never before.

So to start with pictures. Pictures of pictures.

The trial of the boy in blue though if you google that you get some odd results.

Next up Current Affairs. Usual boxes ticked here, something about a storm somewhere check, name of a stray whale check. And Vietnam are going to host a grand prix. Not quite sure why but I'm sure they'll enjoy it.

But Daren is nothing but his own man and in a crazy twist, the link up round was round 3. Too much for some but with a connection in a connection, the first letters of the answers spelt out "PURLEY ARMS". Well actually I think they spelt SPURLEYARM but you can't make these things too easy.

So onto connections and I think the penny dropped for us around question 5 which was just as well as we had no idea what this fella was.

Well its obvious from the picture but a Giant Hairy what?


So the sting in the tail of the first half was the ten pointers. Jenny G wasn't good enough. Kind of dropped off the radar a bit but Baby would have been her career high point.

So all to do on the second half. TV kicked things off, a pretty much, "you know them or you don't" kind of round. Then Jeopardy. Well, a true curve ball for Q1, when was the first UK motorway opened?

I don't think it looks like that now. Well, I wouldn't have known the decade so after that it was salvage what you can. Onto music and as someone who has "Every UK Number 1 Single" as one of my spotify faves, ten October number ones wasn't going to hurt. But too much had been left to do so a gallant second for the remaining Hound team, G Force and myself resulted.


But a great quiz-mastering debut from Daren was agreed by all.
