Hound and The Farmer

Well there wasn't a quiz at the PA this week. 3 fairly scrawny looking teams weren't enough, although it would have left the pub looking mighty quiet afterwards. So a quick think and not wanting to be denied a Thursday quiz, it was off to the Farmers.

Well, we missed the first round but joined for music and round 2. Now from memory, Theo used to like his girl bands, Pussycat Dolls, Girls Aloud and the like. You know what, none of those. In fact very similar fare to the PA really, not a great deal before around 1986, which is the way we seem to like it. KC and the Sunshine Band featured a lot.

Anyway, we must have done fantastically well, because you know what. we'd caught up after the music and were just around 1 point behind the leaders! Next up was the general assorted mixed bag that comprises round 3, nothing changes here folks.


Notes are pretty shabby here but who founded the Royal Navy? Well I'd always thought it was around Henry VIII kind of time but Alfred The Great apparently. Whereas in the PA there's a disproportionate reliance on the answers to the ten pointers and the Jeopardy, here none of the answers really matter so you just shrug and move on. So which John was in The Muppet Caper?

Nope, can't see him in there. Cleese apparently, think we went Denver. And when was New Year's Day, in 1752 and earlier? 25th March apparently, 1st January was the Feast of the Circumcision. Ouch!


The things you learn eh? And this film featured somewhere.

Okay, we didn't win, but we didn't expect to and we did miss the first thirty questions. Must be doing something right though, ten teams I think.


Laters.
