kalihaIt's terrible isn't it? Romance must be dead when you spend your wedding anniversary with your mates at the local Pub Quiz (although in our defence we did go out for a meal, just the two of us beforehand).
It was a big team this week; His Lordship and myself, Claire and Hugh, Jim (back from his travels around Europe) and Claire's friends Will and Esther. In honour of Jim being home again the team was called Jim's Back!
Things we learnt at the quiz
[x]Death carries a scythe and an hourglass. (Not an iPod and an ASBO as one team guessed) (not us, we got that one right)
[x]The first word of Lighthouse Family's 'Lifted' is I.
[x]The DJ pronouces Jaoquin Pheonix's name as Jo-cheen, much to our amusement.
I impressed everyone with my impressively quick knowledge of how many colours there are in Smarties (8, by the way; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, pink, purple, brown). Hugh impressed everyone in the sounds round by correctly guessing an advert. he plucked the answer form the ether, it was amazing to watch.
Again it was another hard week, the DJ's really ramping up the difficulty of the questions.
But when the scores were totted up it seemed that our winning streak was over, only managing to come third. *cries* Because of our poor showing this week (and our great results in the weeks Jim was away) next week we're going to call ourselves Jim's in Disgrace or sommat similar.
