9. Do forest fires move faster up- or down-hill?

(Comments are screened so you can all have a go)
We did terrible and only managed to get 8 out of 15. Terrible, really terrible. Got us into joint second place after the first round.
The Picture Round was more fun with Bonnie Langford as one of the people. (Hardly anyone got her right - we were super geeky and gave her Who character's name too because we weren't sure what he wanted). We managed 9/10 which is very respectable.
Another week, another terrible voices round. I really am rubbish at it - thankfully the others aren't much better either. The TV/Film round we got full marks on thanks to my encyclopaedic knowledge of crap TV adverts (I don't even watch *that* much TV).
So the scores were totted up and we somehow managed to come first. Go Team Cheddar Pavement! Go 6 bottles of Grolsch and 2 bottles of crappy alcopop were ours.
Then the highlight of the evening the Boys v. Girls round. I got many TV themes again this week including Evita, the mighty, mighty Fraggle Rock and two others which I can't remember. Embarrassingly I didn't get Angel (His Lordship got it before me. Forshame) - my head was stuck in "it's Buffy!" mode. Forshame. Luckily there were other girls on my team who were pretty good and we managed to beat the boys 15-12.
Then it was out into the rain and back home. Until next week.
