Taking A Risk With Some Hot Gossip About A BodyGuard cont..

So as lunch is over and a certain well known science fiction series' episode has concluded; I may begin.
The title of this piece is a 'homage' to the success our team enjoyed at the quiz last night. Let me set the scene.

'doodleydoo doodleydoo doodleydoo'

After some tough questions and struggling with a quiz reader who had no tongue or lips, we were considering witholding our entry. The thought of the pitiful score we may receive, our subsequent rejection by our friends and families and forced exile to Sealand was cause for great concern and trepidation. Some doubts over Mischa Bartons possible inclusion in the picture round was beginning to cause rifts in the team, tempers were frayed, noses were bloodied. One of the six lesbians of Formby had come to our aid as no.5 was indeed not Denise Van Outen but Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift is an intriguing lady, as I do not have a single idea who she is or what she has done, but if you look at her face long enough; you could swear it was Denise Van Outen.

Things had picked up briefly during top 5, as the countries with the most air craft losses in WWII was a moment of intellectual respite.

Germany ... ok off the mark
United Kingdom ... gaining momentum
Japan ... on a roll
United States ... hang on a second, who else
Soviet Union ... home and dry

Connections was a bad time for all of us; the lack of any intonation or pronunciation in the questions was really causing us to fatigue early. Missed out on a chance of a point by not backing East 17 as soon as i made out the name Brian Harvey, poor effort.

So things were bad, with only the wipeout to go, the collective team arm was collectively picking up and preparing to throw in, in a collective fashion, the towel. Six questions down in the wipeout and we are four quesitons to the good. Two blanks but blanks are ok in wipeout, just dont get wiped out. Tensions mounted after the (rather obvious) false sense of security question: What war was the battle of Britain?

Let me explain the FSOSQ. In wipeout it is one point for a correct answer, 0 points for a blank answer and the loss of all points from the round for an incorrect answer. The FSOSQ gives you an easy point to make you over confident, so you take the fifty50 chance on the next few questions and wipe yourself out.

So the following two quesitons are just such 'not sure' questions:
8. Which dance troupe frequently appeared on the Kenny Everet show?
9. *garbled no lips or tongue nonsense* Whitney Houston *more nonsense* what was the film?

So I think the dance troupe is Hot Gossip, but its before I was born, I'm not convincing the other team members it's tricky. The only film any of is know with Whitney in is 'The Bodyguard'. What to do.

After a stirring speech (by me) about Valley People and Mountain People*, which is a bit long and a bit copyrighted for here, we rose to our feet, spilling drinks over the geeky team on the right and RAN THE WIPEOUT GAUNTLET.

8 out of 10 on the wipeout, 37 out of 60, 7th out of about 20. We left for the beer garden with old fashioned tankards in our hands(because they had ran out of normal pint glasses) and pride in our hearts. Take the chance, be the best, avoid the army.

*Mountain people, take on the mountain and rise to the highest heights, and when the get there and see that distant horizon, they dont say, "Thats how far I can see" they say, "Thats were my dreams begin".
