It was US vs UK last night at the Vic. Weak Sauce was made up of Fiona, Sandy, Jen and Bill. Orchestra was Mike, Kat, Jerry and Jules.
We sat at the same table but did not cheat.
Despite help later in the night from Ann Maria and John, we lost.
But let's start at the beginning.
Bill brought Woodman.
Woodman was very popular. Everyone around us was snapping pictures. The folks in this picture went as far as calling their quiz team "Anita Beaver".
It's been a few weeks since we've seen Ann Maria!!! We've missed her!!
Early in the quiz the mic died - luckily they had batteries on hand. It's half term so Chris was away with the family and Hugh was stepping in.
A table of two teams.
Jerry can't deny it. He loves the beaver.
Are you ready for quiz questions?
What was the name of the hurricane that hit the UK last week?
Scientists have discovered that the microbrachius dicki is the first fish to do what?
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge announced that their new baby is due in what month?
What are 5 anagrams of Ripest?
Who was the longest serving first lady of the US?
What song by Glen Campbell hit #4 in 1975?
Who had the alter ego Ziggy Stardust?
What color are the G's in google?
In the nursery rhyme, who kissed the girls and made them cry?
What is a scrivener?
The answers are near the bottom of the post. In the meantime, enjoy these photos of us at the pub and Woodman entertaining the punters.
Mike was pulled outside for the jackpot question. He didn't get it (I forget what it even was) but it was only worth 10 pounds after Bill's big win last week.
I love this picture of John having a drink and telling his troubles to the beaver.
I just realized that there aren't many pictures of Jules in this post. But here are her funky tights.

What is a scrivener?
Scrivener is the question that put us in last place from the wipe out round. We said a scribe. They said someone who copies legal documents. When I google it now - the first answer is scribe. But I guess the quiz master gets the ultimate decision and last night it did not fall in our favor.
Everyone look like Woodman!! Oops Jerry didn't do it….
Take 2.
We ended the night with a little can can.
The flat is a little lonelier this morning. Sandy had to leave at 4:15 AM to catch a flight to Dublin. It was so fun having her here.
We will miss you, Sandy but enjoy the rest of your adventures!!!

A good time was had by all ... especially Woodman. I call foul on the answer to the Scrivener. We should have gotten credit for it and ended the night ranked much higher. xoxo
