A Saucy Night

Saucy Orchestra is back in action.  Unfortunately we were not in top form, started very slowly, picking up steam and then blowing it all in the Wipe Out round.  

We arrived at the pub early to have dinner with Amanda.  You may remember her from past posts - I think the last time we saw her was in NYC over Thanksgiving weekend.  This time we saw on Facebook that we were both in London at the same time.
I was also excited that Ollie joined us.  I don't think he knew we would be there so it was a nice coincidence that he came for the quiz that night.  And of course we had Jerry and Jules.
Unfortunately the quiz seemed to go faster than I could scribe so I don't have very good notes.  And quite a few of the questions were hard to follow.
Questions
Three footballers children have all started going to some school in Barcelona - how old are these kids?  (see what I mean about not taking good notes?)
What animal has recently been discovered not to be extinct after finding new video footage?
What town is the town at the east end of the M20?
Who said swearing is industry language?
Why was a driver in Barnstable told that it would take 6 hours to get police assistance after an accident?
What are the first 5 colors of the rainbow in order in French?
What 5 host cities postponed the olympics due to war?
What was the pen name of Theodore Geisel?

We loved being back even if we lost.  Bill had more pictures on his phone that he posted on Facebook so I don't have a lot of visuals but I wanted to share some quiz questions.  Oh, and the winning team of the night??  Butt Fuzz!!
