Current Affairs all good too until last 2 Q’s. Muirfield finally accepting women as members and Spinach mooted to join nandrolone and co on the banned substances list for athletics etc.
Good to have Steve on board for the Films round but still let 2 go. Near miss on identity of actor playing Rooster Cogburn in the 2010 remake of True Grit. Jeff Bridges not Josh Brolin who was also in the film. Not sure how I didn’t manage to even consider the following as the country music legend who was the subject of the biopic I Saw The Light. Hank Williams of course.
Tough This Week in History round, we mixed all of the following...
Robert the Bruce/William Wallace
Roy Rogers/Hopalong Cassidy
Jamaica/Republic of Ireland
Martin Luther King/Malcolm the Tenth.
I know what you are thinking. How?
A stinker in the 10 pointers. Who immediately followed Stalin as the leader of the Soviet Union in 1953.
Georgy Malenkov for a couple of hours. Ok nine days. Don ‘t think anyone got it.
One better in the Chain Letters round this week, it is becoming more challenging, which is good. We had first and last letters for both misses. Rhinestone is a synthetic diamond substitute, and persimmon is also known as the Sharon Fruit. After an area where it is prevalent in Israel, not an Essex Girl.
Looks good enough to eat doesn’t it.
Intelligence received indicates we are well behind Les Anoraks so Old School performance required in the Jeopardy round and we didn’t disappoint.
Steve Rogers is also known as Captain America in the Marvel world and more surprisingly Mark Spitz’ golden location were enough to stop the enemy and Robson’s recollection of the following Shakespearean character’s occupation the toughest for us.
Bottom from MSND was a (basket) Weaver. Also took some debate to identify Churchill as QEII’s first PM.
Home and Dry. 19 on music round, not sure what we missed.
See elsewhere for a possible Hound outing to Cambridge, punting and all.
Great to come from behind for the win.
