Lions outshone by George to Somethingth

So the British Lions' second-half fightback fell just short but I reckon they showed enough to suggest a monster-monster effort next weekend as the second Test dawns. Good luck, boys, especially Stephen Jones and Matthew Rees who'll both start or my name's Nomzamo Winifred Zanyiwe Madikizela *. Saturday was rescued by a remarkable night out down The Railway (Killay), Swansea's greatest basic boozer. A few peppery Lancastrian jars of Phoenix White Tornado, a summery session ale from Heywood, between Bury and Rochdale, were complemented by one of life's more surreal pub quizes. Okay, the congregation raised £40+ for Barnardo's ... but, by 'eck there were rumblings about the obtuse nature of the quizmaster's take on Saturday night "fun." Here's a couple of his gems: "If the Queen died tomorrow, what would be the official name of he new monarch?" And, no, the word "Charles" doesn't enter the equation. "Who was BB King's favourite singer?" How should we know - and why should we care? (Answers: George to Somethingth and Frank Sinatra, in that order ... and * is Winnie Mandela, quizheads)
