Nice job by the players in Lord of the Rinks to do well and play it out. Lady Byng made me laugh as I used to get teased by teammates, "There goes your Lady Byng" on the rare time I committed a penalty in hockey games.
The Titanic had me writing a bunch of precalls during the break, though not all of them correct:
Carpathia
Californian (I was thinking it was the California)
Mail (from RMS, but thinking royal mail service instead of ship)
Captain Smith
Astor
Belfast
Southampton (I was wrong in thinking it was South Hampton)
Newfoundland (I was wrong in thinking it was Nova Scotia)
White Star
Nearer My God To Thee
