offlineMemberYou wouldn't catch any of us stupid people getting knocked out in the second round because we wouldn't have got that far, or even bothered in the first place. Ha! That'll teach you that you're more stupid for being cleverer!
(Is that the sort of thing you are after Oxy? Well done anyway).

offlineMemberI watched it a second time and did really well. Even got most of the specialist questions right, which surprised me. Worth considering next time.
I think the old cliche 'there are no losers, only winners' really does apply....oh, and 'it's the taking part that counts' is relevant....and 'there are more questions than answers'....and....Posted 3 years ago # -

offlineMemberThey actually changed the date FOUR times - 7 May was the original one, then they wrote saying it was 2 April, then they wrote saying that that was a mistake, THEN they changed it to 16 April, THEN they rang me in India on 15 April to say it had gone back to 7 May because some off-colour political remark was made that they didn't want going out before the election, though I'm b*ggered if I can see what it was. This is where our licence fee goes, are you listening Mr Cameron?
I might have scraped through with the previous set of GK questions, as I got 13 on that. But there you go. And Humphrys is a miserable sod, who doesn't even bother to say hello. On a positive note, Rachel Riley did come out of her dressing room in a salmon pink miniskirt, smiled and wish us good luck, so it wasn't a complete waste of a day

Incidentally , me and her indoors were wondering what it was you said when you returned to your seat because it looked for all the world like a mini-rant, perhaps some expletives aimed at Humphrys along the lines of "I actually did know the Latin name for 'pivot' you abysmal grey-haired sack of piss."
Anyway , bad luck . The shrew-faced woman will probably win it, her or one of the kiddie-fiddlers.

Zadok the second
offlineMemberI had the following conversation during your appearance:
Me: Ooh look, I know him.
Other people in the house: Do you really?
Me: Well he, you know, writes for Newsbiscuit.
Other people, slightly dismayed: Oh. Have you met him?
Me: No, but I have read his stuff and some of it is very good.
Other people: So basically you know him as well as you know Dickens or shakespeare.
Me: Yes! How did you know?
