kalihaHis Lordship, Claire, Hugh and myself were joined by a special guest this week in the form of His Lordship's friend Matt (Matt has the questions emailed to him each week after I do the Pub Quiz Post - in the last two weeks he got 15/15 and 14/15 so he's not too shabby at the old Pub Quizzing). In his honour we were called Welcome Matt!!

Comments are screened so you can have a go at answering the questions.
We didn't do too badly on the Picture round and to my eternal shame I recognised the Power Rangers theme tune to steal us another point in the sounds round and we got full marks on the music round.
Rather annoying the team next to us were being little cheats, using their internet-connected phones to find out the answers to the questions they didn't know. Even more annoyingly they came second, so His Lordship is going to have a word with Pub Quiz Guy next week. Their cheating couldn't beat us and our non-cheating though as we came first! Yay!
This weeks Boys V. Girls round was TV and Film themes/songs. I was on fire. There were only about 6 girls on the girls team, against about 20 boys, so we knew we weren't going to do particularly well, we lost 15-9 but out of those nine I got SEVEN! (The Bill, Bod, The Muppet Show, Dogtanian, Neighbours, a quiz show (but I can't remember which one now) and thanks to John Barrowman (for whom I watched Richard & Judy for the first time ever on Monday) Richard & Judy.
His Lordship managed to get three for the boys team, thusly proving that I am the best. Yay!
