More Glory No Idea


All I can say is thanks goodness for Mr Tim Jones! It was a pleasure to see him, Mary and her mum Jo. And what a contribution. Zak, Colin, Meredith and I were pleased to have such fine company.

Rounds included Extinct, Sport, Arts and Literature, and Cartoons. The picture were all native birds so we gave the pics to Mary and she delivered us 10 out of 10. The Giant Sloth made an appearance.

We also did well on the Arts and Literature. I had been telling an amusing story about the swarming sparrows in The Dark Half by Steve King in response to the question about the extinct American Passenger Pigeon when up popped "Who writes under the pseudonym Richard Bachman?"

We also managed 8 points from the connecting word. See if yall can get it from these four questions as Tim did.

What is the name of the law firm in Ally McBeal?
Which Bond villain had the first name Auric?
Which book told the story of John Merrick?
What was the name of the aeroplane in which Charles Lindbergh crossed the Atlantic?

Now that's a win. Well done twitchers.

Good post, and thanks for the praise, but some of it was misplaced: it was Meredith who came up with the connecting word, not me - I was just the runner. So, all hail Meredith!
