25th February Question Masters


After a night off last week, the Lemmings were question masters this week covering three venues, The Harrington Arms Gawsworth, the Robin Hood Rainow and the Chester Road Tavern.
Nick was asking at the latter, where the Nags Head, pushing the top of the table, were playing the home team who are fighting valiantly. There was some discussion (particularly from the away team) about the sinking of the White Ship, one of the History questions, but Wikipedia (the go-to resort for objections) shows this was the touchstone for that period of British history known as The Anarchy. Nevertheless the atmosphere was friendly and rounded off with a generous selection of sandwiches.

Similar objections were made at the Harrington Arms in a good-spirited game.

The Academicals knew the answer to the White Ship question, so were perfectly happy
The Brexit round was regarded as less entertaining than the dentist and marked as such.
Tommo did a good job and the Rams were excellent company
Thanks to all

Although it depended if you had double first in history and fine art. Putting 2 beheading questions together was strange...also it depends where you are Algeria to decide if Morocco is North West if it..but hey ho
