Pom Michael Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 Team, Looking over our answer sheet from last night : a. I did write in "Untame my heart" instead of "Unchain my heart". 1 point deduction. I'm ashamed. b. LA Law - Susan Day was not an original member ? c. Beverly Hills 90210 - Shannon Doherty was not an original member ? d. Hockey. This one is BS, but since it is a British Quiz Night - what do I expect ? Hockey means Ice Hockey. If the answer was Field Hockey, then you would need to classify it. It is the National Hockey League, not the National Ice Hockey League. A one point deduction was not called for in this case. A bit unfair to give others a point for Speed (vice Ice) and nothing for Hockey (vice Ice Hockey). e. They did not give us any points for Imran Khan as the Indian Legend who said " I would rather die than take a bribe." Was this not correct ? (Found the answer - Kapil Dev). f. We changed from Columbia to RCA. g. It is the King of Diamonds who has the Axe. King of Spades has the sword. The quizzes are starting to be a bit more competitive, and not as much fun as when you win ! I wonder how many people will turn out at Woodstock, and where will they put everyone ? Cheers!
