University Challenge

[loopyloops]

My absolute favourite thing on TV and what do they put on instead?

Bloody golf. Who watches golf?

DH deducted points from me because he had to rewind to hear the beginning of a question.

If I do it once more during this series I think I'm barred. I don't mean to but he won't let me do the remote.

We play spot the American/transexual/ubergeek when Paxo is giving you the lowdown on the establishment.

DH just shouts 'Wank' at them most of the time. It seems ot give him an immense sense of satisfaction but he loves the programme and hates to miss it.

sounds a bit competitive at yours jbck

Jbck - your husband is on my wavelength! You would have been barred from the room with probation next week in my house!

Loopy you've clearly modelled yourself on scary Paxo

I am duly chastised and shan't do it again.

anyone playing this week ?

I'll be playing - I'm fine on most stuff apart from the science which is totally incomprehensible if the answer isn't "photosynthesis".

Ohh my sil is a prof at Exeter

was a tough one for me - too much science only scored 11

Not my week with 14 but at least I beat rnbsdad who had 12. Get in!!!!! Depressed that I did better on the Baroque composers than the NME albums!! How sad does that make me?!

nme albums were my saviour

dh and I are still waiting for it to appear on i-player. it's our televisual highlight of the week. and I so agree with you UQD - dds get HOLLERED at if they dare utter a word. I can do the maths questions. As long as the answer is 1.

I got 7. V.sad I didn't get any of the NME albums.

I did unusually well this week!

Science/popular culture bias to tonight's questions?

rnbsmum you are in the lead so far
unless zombie scored higher

Missed it this week. Gonna play next week.

Loathed Gail Trimble.
Loved Mr Guttenplan.

anyone play tonight????

I shall be playing later this evening, if DH lets me

Hello - checking in with the rnb towers scores. A 17 from me - mighty pleased with that!! 11 from rnbsdad (I haven't gloated ....much!! ) Think I scored a hefty 0 on all the science-y bits though.

yay not playing on my own then 18 last night but was stuck on 1 for ageeeeeees.

13 for me.

Yeah me too Sharbie, took a long time to get going.

Sorry, watched it late last night then went to bed, you'll never be on your own, last time I missed it completely was years ago. :)

ahh thanks loops - i could have done with the programme going on for another 10 mins

Can I join? I got a fairly respectable 11 last night.

My adoration of UC was mentioned in the Best Man's speech at our wedding. That and my geeky love for my Shorter Oxford English Dictionaries (I want the real thing!)

hi tarty

oooo there was a good geek on last night - he had hairclips and a scarf and everything

Yes, we thought he looked like someone we were in school (female!) She wouldn't be flattered.
