Throw A Blanket Over Them Hound

Graham and myself this week, first up faced up with 10 pictures of Nicks. Very seasonal and we managed nine of them. I'd like to say this was a sign of things to come but it really wasn't.

Current Affairs, well there only seems to be one subject in the news and obviously we weren't covering that so it was tricky. But Kenya is replacing the images of presidents on coins with the likes of lions, elephants, giraffes etc. Maybe the animals could do their jobs as well. And Goodyear are paying off ex employers in Venezuela with tyres and these little fellas are the fastest moving animals around.

The next round was "bells". So we had the likes of Portobello Road, venue of Mr Gruber's shop, The Bell Jar and Tubular Bells. Nice.


Onto what year, so Rage Against The Machine were number one at Christmas and Giggsy was SPOTY. So back in the days when someone gave a damn. But apparently the Icelandic banking system imploded after the credit crunch, not before and we were unsuccessfully looking for 2009.


Ten pointer and I'd say knowing the nickname of Warren Weber in Happy Days was specialist knowledge. Even with google it took a while to find it. But we bagged the other two to maybe give ourselves a puncher's chance later on.


Or that's what we thought. Estee Lauder's first fragrance anyone? Or the Italian herb that has notes of celery and parsley? Youth-Dew and help me out here because, other than it ending in "E", I really don't know. So we kind of lost the trail and frankly didn't really get it back.


Onto jeopardy and it didn't really improve. So lets have a picture.

That, is apparently a Stinking Bishop.

We did a lot better on music but surely too little too late. But, rather than being the first team read out, we were the 2nd last, only two points behind LATT, with an almost Theo-like spread of 6 points between all of the teams. Naturally with so many wrong answers we probably did leave a few out there, but good to get back into the quizzing saddle for me after a three week break.


Last one of the year next week. Maybe an Inbetweener though? I'll toss that one out.

Which one are you?
