kalihaA smaller, more compact team this week of His Lordship, Me, Claire and Hugh. Claire's doing a PGCE at the moment and is learning about pedagogy (i.e. teaching). We weren't sure how to pronounce it so we thought to foil Pub Quiz Guy with something unpronouncable. *laughs*

At the end of the general knowledge round we had ten and were in joint 3rd place.
We got nine out of ten on the picture round, a cartoon of Colin Farell making me giggle at terribly-repressed memories of That video doing the rounds on t'internet.
We also did bosting on the sounds round and my (sad and geeky) knowledge of what year Billie released Girlfriend snagged us an extra point in the music round.
The proze this week for first was four bottles of Becks and four bottles of low-sugar Raspberry Bacardi Breezer so we really wanted to win.
And we did! Only by a point, but we did! Yay us!
Then it was the highlight of the evening, the Boys v Girls round. Loads more boys than girls this time.
I did stunning again this week with correct guesses on Star Wars, Ghostbusters (literally a fraction of a second before His Lordship), The Sound of Music, Jungle Book and Snow White (on the second tweet of Whistle While you Work) I just missed out on Red Dwarf by about half a second and guttingly I was also half a second behind the boy who correctly guessed Round the Twist. The girls lost 15-10 oh well.
On the subject of Round the Twist can you get it on DVD at all? I loved that when I was younger than I am now.
