We're up to P in the list of celeb pictures and things. Good spot to pick out this geezer.
A considerably younger and with more hair version of Patrick Stewart. Plenty of them evaded us, think maybe we stretched it to about 6.
The story that caught my eye on the current affairs round was the Lewis chesspiece sold for £735,000! A single chess piece! Not much use without the other 31; if only they knew a reproduction set was available on Amazon for £145. Some people will just buy anything.
£735,000 please.
Round 3 was Wimbledon based, fairly standard stuff, think we only failed on the name of the ladies ingles trophy, the Venus rosewater dish. Round 4 was on this week in history and we marked the 91st anniversary of sliced bread first being marketed in Chillicothe Missouri. But what else could it be?
Ten pointers, ah here controversy reigned.
Ok, we didn't know the 2nd event in the decathlon, though thinking it through maybe I should have done as I saw some of the decathlon at the 2012 Olympics. But controversially, what was the sportswear firm set up by Herr Dassler in the 1930s?

Quite the story and while I can't remember the exact question wording, I think either of Adidas and Puma would have been correct answers. The given answer was Adidas though, we had Puma.
Onto the old chain letters round this has got decidedly more trixie recently; all good but we lost the thread somewhere around Endive and didn't get it back until Slash. The guitarist that is.
Jeopardy and we had 8 good answers. I figured Ellen de Generes' partner was Portia something but where will the 2022 Winter Olympics be? Japan was probably the best guess but we settled for 8, just as well as Beijing will host.
Well too much to do with the slightly controversial answer and it was third in a tight finish.
Right, I'm away next week and in 2 weeks, The Hound will host so get yourselves all down there. Until then...
Yes, I personally think that the sportswear question was fallacious. The question masters decision is final, just a shame when that is Well everyone else put Adidas.
