:banghead: :banghead: My son and I have can't make it tonight. I'm very sorry to do this to JJB at the 11th hour, but my son has just come back from the doctors with tonsilitis, and I still have a gammy leg. My son has been told to rest, and without transport, I would be struggling.

I've PM'd JJB, but in the event that he doesn't pick up the message in time, could JW please arrange to get him and his daughter into a team?

Sorry guys, we won't be there challenging for the wooden spoon tonight :oops:

I wonder if a Skype link-up would work...can't see why not. Then those who always miss being in HH by a day or so could play from afar. Pete :cheers:

Got BB's message and grateful for the concern. We'll still be going and happy to team-up with a spare pair if there's any floating around...

12th man found for this evening, still looking for a potential +1 or happy to go with just the four as I suspect many others are not fielding full teams tonight. See you all there.

Well you were saved the ignominy of coming last (Terry had a point but there were no Lady Gaga questions!) although I'm sure we could have done better with your help, if only to save us from ourselves! :shock:

A great night, however, and thanks to JW for his customary stewardship and hospitality.

Awww, you failed us JJB - we've been trying so hard for that wooden spoon :D

Great to see you had a good time, despite such a failure - that's what it's all about.

Out of interest, what did you score on the joker round - usually our major failing with an average score of 4/20.

Just the one, eh? :laugh: :laugh:

I have to say that being the only rabble-rouser in the team simply wasn't the same. And as much as I wanted to heckle JJB's team, with his beautiful wife and daughter in attendance an element of decorum seemed appropriate... :shock:

Thanks for the restraint, DM, my daughter is all the better for it!

On the Joker round, BB, we scored a respectable 12 although as is probably often the case, we would have been better off choosing a different round to play it. I also felt a little vindicated by the two beer questions I won, which had nothing to do with the fact I was sat directly next to Steve, I can assure you!
