But basically the word on the street is you lost? Right??

If you park in the wrong place, the word on the street is "Clamt"

Not in so many words, no.

10th was honourable, given that we had to carry Orpey. Proper Essex Girl am her.

That's 10th out of how many teams?

Well, yes..I think it's only fair that Mr Kendall can boast about the level of honourability (if it's not a word, it should be) of his team.

WOW, well done...I guess there were a lot of questions like "Describe what the Big Bang looked like" and "How did Mozes smell?"

I apologise..in this case Mozes was not a nickname for TK...easy mistake to make though.

not exactly words you use everyday.

There. I thought the quiz was rigged, & it clearly was.

They asked "in which sport do the competitors travel backards?"

I answered "rowing/sculling, & backstroke swimming". Orford insisted it was curling, "because the chaps/girlies with the brooms move backwards". I mean for goodness sake, no wonder we did badly. Well, terribly. I shall drop him from my team for the next Sky Poker night out. Which is a Karaoke Night. Real Karaoke, that is.

And that Orpey - hopeless!

It was my first ever pub quiz. Fun stuff.

don't the chaps with the brooms actually move sideways?

Aye, unless they're doing it wrong (I've tried it & it's not easy)

Tug of War's the other answer.

That was the "official" correct answer - Rowing/sculling, & tug-of-war. Though I'd dispute the latter, as if one team travels backwards, then it's a reasonable assumption that the other team travels forwards. Unless the string  - sorry, rope - is elasticated.

Pedant Rules.

But, they are trying to go backwards - so the participants travel backwards unless they lose.

A bit like Brentford.

Dredfully sad that Humphrey Lyttleton - "Humph" - passsed away today, after Surgery.

He was nearly 87.

He'd Presented "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue" for 35 years, & was, arguably, the funniest man on Radio. He never told jokes, he was just "dry", & sometimes, innocently near the knuckle.

I'm not sure ISIHAC can continue in his absence, he is irreplaceable. The Spring Series had already been cancellled after Humph entered Hossie. I think they knew the end was nigh.

He had a 30 year "running joke" about ISIHAC's Scorer, "the lovely Samantha". I'm not sure Samantha even existed.

He wrote 14 books, mostly about Jazz, at which he was something of a legend. His Radio Show "Best of Jazz" ran unbroken for 40 years, until he stepped down last year. Best of Jazz, & ISIHAC, ran, between them, for 75 years, an extraordinary record of longevity by any criteria.

He recorded over 200 records, & when performing with his Band, which he did for 60 years, he generally introduced his biggest selling piece - "Bad Penny Blues" - as "a medley of my hit".

On "looking him up" today, I found that he was President of a rather unusual Society - "The Society for Italic Handwriting", & his Record Company was named in it's honour - "Calligraph".

A very sad loss.

From the Glasgow Herald today:

Apple of his eye

THE late Humphrey Lyttelton will be sadly missed from Radio 4 where his deadpan, but always courteous, delivery hid some of the most excruciating doubles entendres ever to be uttered on the sedate BBC.

He once said of his fictitious assistant, Samantha: "She has to nip off to the National Opera where she's been giving private tuition to the singers. Having seen what she did to the baritone, the director is keen to see what she might do for a tenor."

Derngate Theatre rang me today to inform me that Humphrey Littleton had died. My Dad and I had tickets for his latest tour.

Their exact words were "Humphrey Littleton has died so he won't be doing the performance."

There really is no fooling these showbiz people.  Current company excepted - sorry Tikay

A low blow. Especially coming from you. How is your Team doing then Mr Smart-Arse? Leicester Town, was it?
