Picture Round
A tricky picture round this month, featuring people (vaguely) in the news, like Zac Efron, Hazel Blears, George Chuter, George Osborne (who hardly anyone got), Marcel Marceau and Lois Maxwell.
Music Round
The music round was marred by a) me cocking up the stereo, and b) many of the tracks being too obscure. Theme was biblical references in song or band names, with some obvious ones like Angels, and Devil in Disguise, and also some shockers like Jesus & Mary Chain (Never Understand) and Judas Priest (Breakin' The Law), although it was also shocking how few people knew Israelites by Desmond Decker
