University Challenge Final

[Prudie]

On now, good luck Manchester.

[gness]

Okay, Prudie...I'll cheer for UCL and a bottle of wine to the winner but I think you will win...x

[Prudie]

I'm not sure gness but you're on. I only like Manchester because their captain is so cute, I'd like to give him a cuddle.

[jim360]

I'm watching a minute behind transmission but Manchester are doing pretty well so far...

[gness]

Reason enough, Prudie.....I wouldn't say no to UCL's Dennis. Must be the hair... :-)

Mind you...your guy has the most beautiful smile...x

[gness]

Red, White or Rose....Prudie? :-(

Only Connect next...love that.....x

[jim360]

[Prudie]

Red please gness and thank you, can I offer you a malteser as consolation?

[bibblebub]

What was with all the hugging at the end? Whatever happened to decorum?

[Prudie]

Jim, 5 or 10 more minutes and it could have gone the other way.

[DTCwordfan]

well done Manchester.....and a good final.

I was struggling there and below my average 'take' of opening questions and then the bonuses.........

[DTCwordfan]

David Mitchell's Lady has just come on as a follow up.....

[gness]

Red it shall be and thank you for the malteser.....x
Have a hug Jim...and a malteser from Prudie...x
Beautiful Alex on Only Connect now....Mmmmm x

I took part in this season -- lost in the end to Bangor, who lost to Manchester in the semis. I kind of wanted a team other than Manchester to win for a change -- an article in the Times revealed what we already knew, that Manchester takes UC way too seriously. Organised practice sessions every week against former competitors, several trial competitions just to make the team. Just not cricket, what?

[Prudie]

Bibble I've noticed a lot of young guys hug and even kiss each other today, getting in touch with their feminine side, shaking off the stiff upper lip and boys don't cry tag I suppose.

[Svejk]

Heard an excerpt from 1996 earlier. Paxman was the presenter. I still think of him as the new boy. Sigh, must be getting old.

[DTCwordfan]

hope you enjoyed the experience, jim, weren't too drunk were we? Remember Queen's Cambridge???? I can find it on You Tube no doubt....

[gness]

Oh I don't know Jim...I take the pub quiz so seriously I scare people.
Well done on taking part...x

[Prudie]

Jim were you actually in a team then? Well done you. I went to Essex in the days when it was particularly anti-establishment, no-one would dream of being on UC. Even now I don't think they've got past the first round.
