Only Connect And University Challenge

BBC 2 8.00 and 8.30 tonight. I know someone has posted about O/C but not U/C so thought you would like to know.

Jno - you can get much better free papers in Waitrose than the Torygraph e.g. the Guardian or even the Times.

AH, and so it should be pleased with itself. Clever, lighthearted, completely devoid of bumptious people, and no squawking, hysterical audience to ruin its gentle ambience. More like it would be a bonus on what has truly become, in the main, a veritable idiot box.

Got two of the sequences right which doesn't usually happen. The walls I found difficult

[DTCwordfan]

diddly-doo, I didn't know that Waitrose was offering free toilet paper...

Only connect, I managed to get some of the early rounds and then two sets of four on each of rhe walls. Usually do okay on missing vowels rounds. Got about 15 correct on UC uncluding two I didn't know I knew the answer to. Therefore guesses but was chuffed when they were right.

/// they got Frida Kahlo right - I thought it was Gauguin ///

Snap ! So did I.

Regarding Victoria's "jokes", I'm obviously missing the irony, so thanks folk for the heads-up on that. I will now view them in a new light :-)

The geography on UC was hilariously bad ...

[naomi24]

^Oh wasn't it just! Appalling!

/// geography on UC was hilariously bad ///

Yes, wasn't it. But not uncommon amongst today's youth IME. Mind you, there's always been ignorance in that area, in 1972 when I moved from Norwich to Swindon, occasionally folk back in Norwich used to say,"Swindon, that's somewhere up North isn't it".
