Prancing Pony is a good pair with the Leaky Cauldron and I think due to the films alone is justifiable in a pub quiz.<br /><br />Last night I was shocked that a teammate of long standing didn't know the answer to: "In which film would you hear the line 'There's no place like home'". Admittedly there are probably numerous films with that line. But he had never seen the Wizard of Oz and it meant nothing to him. Yet I bet he would have got Prancing Pony.Gruffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04248577840110150085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-86149905968502648822012-06-11T11:56:37.097-07:002012-06-11T11:56:37.097-07:00Hi Hugh

So, unless there is a way of blocking him, he's not going to stop.<br /><br />However I like to think it's the director of 'Clerks' trying a new career.<br /><br />In relation to your post, I think it's good to have the odd tougher question as long as some people can still get it. The questions you mentioned I think are fine. Without being much of a Tolkein fan, I knew The Prancing Pony, and most people have at least seen the film. 'The Herbs' was broadcast twenty years before I was born, so I didn't get that one but it's fairly guessable as it's going to be a herb. The sort of question you described in a recent post, where you're just guessing on something meaningless and unknowable, are the ones that annoy me.HughTubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02159363601030942474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-66347529814231132122012-06-11T08:41:55.419-07:002012-06-11T08:41:55.419-07:00Kevin Smith - if that's your real name - pleas...Kevin Smith - if that's your real name - please stop leaving comments which have nothing to do with anything I post here, with links to your own commercial site. I will delete them every time I find them, so please don't waste any more of your effort or mine. <br /><br />With thanks<br /><br />DaveLondiniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871325359167581176noreply@blogger.com
