Three Hounds on parade at The Sutton Arms, one of 14 competing teams. Catch up on covid/kfc/late Xmas stories and more besides over the Picture Round…
We missed 2 and 8, some singer and some comedienne.
One slip-up in the current affairs, and I’m owning that one, putting dime instead of quarter for the American coin which is to feature Maya Angelou.
Top 5’s next with generally low scoring. We got only 1 of the top 5 googled TV shows during 2021 (3 Netflix, 2 Disney+). A more respectable 3 in the top 5 kedgeree ingredients according to the BBC. The team we marked scored 1 in total so 4 not necessarily too bad.
True/False 50/50 round included a ludicrous question about Bryan Adam’s song “Summer of ‘69”. Pulp formed in the seventies, we went for eighties.
We maxed the Alpha Links round including some fairly obscure musical questions.
Connections round answers were Ascot, Coast, Tacos and Costa, the link being fairly easy to spot.
Their version of the Jeopardy round to finish, only 5 bonus pts for getting 10 right. We steered clear of the Downton Abbey question which proved to be the downfall of the Anoraks. It was filmed in Hampshire, albeit very close to the Berkshire border. Kevster impressed with knowing that Lamborghini started out selling tractors. 40/60 and a very respectable second place, we left out two that we would have got right in the last round but even then would have lost on the tie-break which we apparently didn’t answer!
Sorry for lack of photos, couldn’t quite get them to work.
Date for the diary, Thurs Feb 3. Possible quiz at the Racehorse in Carshalton.More to follow from Robson.
