Penultimate Quiz Night

We had the whole gang and more this week.
Weak Sauce - Jen, Bill, Jerry, Jules
Orchestra - Mike, Kat, Ollie, Ann Maria and a bit of Robert.
But we still had time for some acting.
Here we are as the Jets or the Sharks while seated - it's hard to be a Jet (or a Shark) sitting down.
No Teeth Tuesday
Attack of the headless Jen.
Bonnie & Clyde
Stoners
And we did some actual quizzing.
Quiz Questions:
In what movie did Kevin Costner play a minor league baseball player?  
What 5 countries begin with the letter A and have 7 letters?  
What Beatles song has he line "sitting on a corn flake waiting for the van to come"?  
What Asterix character was played by Gerard Depardeau in the movie version of the comic?  
Used as an Australian insult, what is a drongo?  
What European capital was known by the Romans as Lutetia?  
What duo was killed in May of 1934 on the streets of Bienville Parish, LA?  
What actor recently received a Golden Globe for his portrayal of Stephen Hawking?  
And some plain old fashioned posing
Then we've got some pics where I have no idea what was going on…
Sophie came too and was on C&A. I don't know if Mike is flashing her or a vampire about to attack?  Sophie's reaction works for both.

Quiz Answers:
In what movie did Kevin Costner play a minor league baseball player?  
Bull Durham (not a  well known movie in UK apparently)
What 5 countries begin with the letter A and have 7 letters?  
Albania, Austria, Andorra, Armenia, Algeria

I am the Walrus

Used as an Australian insult, what is a drongo?  
A bird
What European capital was known by the Romans as Lutetia?  
Paris
What duo was killed in May of 1934 on the streets of Bienville Parish, LA?  
Bonnie and Clyde
What actor recently received a Golden Globe for his portrayal of Stephen Hawking?  
Eddie Redmayne

Results:  Weak Sauce fourth, Orchestra third.  
I didn't even listen to who won because we really didn't have a chance the whole time.  Fourth was a shockingly good placement by the end.

We celebrated by acting out a scene in Peter Pan (I'm Peter Pan and Jerry is my puppet master ).

I managed not to get sentimental during this, our penultimate, week.  Next week will, no doubt, be a different story!
