Thursday’s questions were:
Andrei: who said: One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic. ?
George: If us white people are so smart, how do you explain France?
Paul: Who was the only person to win both a Nobel Prize and an Oscar?
Richard: Which secondary school did Trevor Mallard attend? What were his qualifications when he left school? Who was his best friend at school? Big bonus and prices for the three correct answers. (Quartermaster- “what are you wasting on this fellow?Its a joke question?)
Inventory 2: What are Saturday night’s winning Lotto numbers?
Rob: 1. Which winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature is also in Wisden as a first class cricketer?
2. Which famous rock star had his first public appearance as a boy soprano in a choir at Westminster Cathedral?
IH Stewart: What is a brass razoo ?
And another from Richard: Brass Razoo? ” – have used this expression frequently. But just to keep the HP spirit going while she is busy- What is the expression in Maori and Spanish?
I’ll leave those who asked the questions to determine if anyone answered correctly and provide correct answers if they didn’t.
Given the aversion to banana cake, those who asked the unanswerable/ed questions can have an electronic chocolate cake if they prefer it.

First, a comment: don’t know the origin of ‘brass razoo’ but its a great phrase I grew up with. A judge used it in a court case I was covering a month or so back & I got it into the headline, which I was quite chuffed about at the time.
Answers to my questions: Samuel Beckett is the first class cricketer (for Ireland) and winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Keith Richards is the rock star who made his first public appearance as a boy soprano in Westminister Cathedral. Starting the way he meant to go on, of course. (ahem).
