125. Mon 3/7/17: Bricklayers Arms, Luton

Beer: Canopy Beer Co Hamlet 4.4%, Dow Bridge Ratae’d 4.3%

A week or two late – it’s the Rex Horton Quiz Teams’ Summer Solstice quiz at the Brickies. The starter round is name the pictured young women who have featured in FHM’s Sexist Lady poll. Bad start – and it didn’t get markedly better.

The low point was the question “how many streets are there on a Monopoly board?” What do they mean by streets? Me brother was sure it meant any potentially residential property – whereas I thought it meant those properties which were streets (i.e. Bow, Regent, Bond… Oxford etc). My brother was right, apparently, according to Mary Quizmistress – that caused ructions throughout the quiz playing populace generally, while debating the point stirred an argument within the RHQuiz team. Kingstons and Whitings at each other’s throats. Monopoly has been the cause of family disharmony for generations.

We all made up, in the end. My best contribution was an eight point haul for the answer “Johnny Depp” on clue two (I suggested him on the first – “born in Kentucky 54 years ago” - for 12 points). And I drew a beaver.

Rex Horton finished in 5th place, with a disappointing 90 points (100 being par).
