kalihaThis week our pub quiz was a bit depleted with just His Lordship, Jim and Me. In hour of this (and the fact we don't think we're particularly bright) we called ourselves We're not going to win 'cos Claire and Hugh aren't here. It was an omen
1. Which act had the most Number 1 hit records on the US Chart: Elvis or the Beatles?
2. Which is the most sensitive finger on the human hand?
3. What S is the most popular cat name?
4. What was Cinderella's real name?
5. How many tournaments make up Golf's Grand Slam?
6. Which two colours make the most visually striking combination when placed side by side?
7. What is the most listened to radio station in the UK?
8. In which decade was the first test tube baby born?
9. Is a driver obliged by law to report to the Police an accident involving a cat?
10. What mountain range marks the border between France and Spain?
11. For what film did John Wayne receive his only Oscar?
12. Who is younger: Janet or Michael?
13. In what year did the National Lottery first take place?
14. What did Rumplestiltskin's daughter spin into gold?
15. What tree is tradionally associated with graveyards?
Comments are screened so you cam make embarrassing guesses if you want.
We managed 9/10 between the three of us in the first round, which surprised us greatly and had us joint second with about 4 other teams. So there was all to play for.
We didn't do particularly well on the picture round - although my vaguely-remembered A-Level Biology knowledge came in useful as I recognised a diagram of a diaphram. (Jim thought it was a gall bladder *rolls eyes*).
His Lordship recognised a scene form Ghostbusters in about three words and I spotted the theme toon (write the theem toon, sing the theem toon) to Friday Night with Jonathan Ross.
We got full marks on the music round although I had a total mental block for a while over the name of the band Dead or Alive.
In the end the scores were totted up and we got 29! (Usually that's a 4th or 5th place spot (thusly proving how needed Claire and Hugh are) but this week we won! Only by a point but we still won! Yay us! Eight bottles of crap beer were outs \o/
The Boys V Girls round was a fairly tense affair - thankfully this week there were more girls than just me and the Landlady. I correctly got right Hollyoaks (again), the Simpsons (again - but it was an Irish diddly-diddly version) and The Raggydolls (dolls like you or me). I also got another one but can't remember what it was. His Lordship even managed to get 4 for the boys (well done big fella) but the girls beat the boys 15-12 or something.
Another productive night. And we palyed on the Top of the Pops Quiz machine and won £4 between us.
