Husband only got three right and isn't giving me the praise that I deserve. Normally get around 10 right so feeling v.smug.

(Can't do Only Connect but can do University Challenge)

VU, I think I could count on my fingers how many I have got EVER GrinGrin

mammmamia · 29/10/2018 21:24

Well done you. I normally get about 10 as well. DH and I compete most weeks to see who can get the most, we’ve been doing it for about 15 years Blush

bridgetjonesmassivepants · 29/10/2018 21:25

We compete too and I always thrash him!

I got lots tonight too. The 4 on musicals helped! It never happens.

I do prefer Only Connect though.

Bowchicawowow · 29/10/2018 21:25

I got loads right tonight. The DC were convinced it was in iplayer and I had seen it before.

OscarWildesGreenCarnation · 29/10/2018 21:26

Other way round here... I'd be lucky to be able to answer my name on UC, but Only Connect I can do!

Well done OP, genuinely impressed! Smile

Bowchicawowow · 29/10/2018 21:26

Love Only Connect. It’s my absolute favourite.

PawneeParksDept · 29/10/2018 21:27

I'm always well impressed to get about 5 so you've done really well

Any Maths or Science usually thwarts me

What is n to the power of quark and such like

Amazing when they get it in seconds

The music round usually thwarts me too. Not watched it in ages.

DanielRicciardosSmile · 29/10/2018 21:27

Definitely not. I still boast about the time I got 2 Pointless Answers in the final round... Blush

AnyFarrahFowler · 29/10/2018 21:28

I just got 11 and I’ve never got more than 6 before - must’ve been an easy episode (no offence! Grin )

DramaAlpaca · 29/10/2018 21:30

I'm impressed. I think I'm doing well if I get five or six right. Didn't see it tonight though.

Aintnothingbutaheartache · 29/10/2018 21:31

Smart arse 😏
Nah, well done!

MyGirlDaisy · 29/10/2018 21:32

Well I got three right and was feeling proud! Sometimes I don’t even understand the questions.........

Athena51 · 29/10/2018 21:33

Stealth boast (actually just completely blatant boast) my DS has been on both shows.

I'm better with University Challenge than Only Connect.

Pebblespony · 29/10/2018 21:34

Aggh. When did University Challenge come back on! I've been missing it!!

Pebblespony · 29/10/2018 21:36

July I see. Damn.

Unihorn · 29/10/2018 21:37

I normally get about 3 or 4 but I got over 10 tonight, and there I was feeling all smug!

bridgetjonesmassivepants · 29/10/2018 21:38

Catch up? I think it was a bit easy tonight!

LloydColeandtheCoconuts · 29/10/2018 21:48

Blimey, well done! I get 3 right and boast! 

MrsPatrickDempsey · 29/10/2018 22:01

We like to guess what subject the contestants are reading before they announce it. I usually get more right than questions!

MsMightyTitanAndHerTroubadours · 29/10/2018 22:04

I had a great week last week!...so good that i must have worn out my brain cells cos I completely forgot about both UC and OC this week.

Whitelisbon · 29/10/2018 22:07

Once, I got 3 questions right on the trot. And the contestants didn't get any of them.
They were on postman pat, but, even so...Grin

ghostyslovesheets · 29/10/2018 22:10

I got 4 connections on Only Connect and 3 out of 4 sequences in both walls - I feel like a Brainiac

mammmamia · 29/10/2018 22:16

I never get any of the classical music on the music round but if it’s popular music I normally get them all right Blush I am quite cultured really!

chickenloverwoman · 30/10/2018 19:21

I beat the winning team on OC AND UC last night!!!
I am a bit of a clever clogs, but that exceeded my best ever score by a mile.
