University Challenge

I hope everybody enjoyed this years final !

I was personally disappointed that Wolfson College didn't win, and even more disappointed that Emmanuel College wasn't in the final, with its Captain, the wonderfully named Bobby Seagull !

What a continuing treat UC is....long may it continue !

I loved Monkman. Such enthusiasm.

I love Tipping Point too. Fun - and that machine fascinates me. ;o)

Can't resist posting this:-

Interesting it was the all english team that one, against 2 canadians, 1 irish & 1 english

[jim360]

The all-English team featuring someone from Australia, you mean?

It's annoying when Jeremy starts reading a question, when the applause from the previous answer hasn't died down. I struggle to hear the start of the question! A small niggle for a great programme.

[naomi24]

Sipowicz, me too. Only Connect has no audience. So much better in that respect.

[Hopkirk]

I enjoyed the Only Connect final, with Victoria Coren Mitchell.

[Hopkirk]

Did no one else see her? She dressed for the occasion.

....I thought it was both childish and silly of her to be messing around "drinking" from the champagne glasses throughout the programme...

Stopped watching it years ago.
Just makes me feel as thick as £$%%^$"
I tend to look for feel-good TV programmes.

[donny48]

I thought the bonuses were pretty bonusy

Neoplatonism ( plotinus' idea) came up in one of our games in 1973
but I wasnt aware that Theon had retained Euclids elements

it implies that at one time - there was ONE copy in the world
that cant be really true can it ?

[ searchers would board every boat coming into Alexandria - and take all the books - they were copied in real time ! and the COPIES returned to the boats)

sort of like My Little Pony ?

I thought only connect was good
since the setters were all verbal they thought an all maff 'wall' would defeat them -and it was aced by the silent ones....
