University Challenge.

[vivandorron]

I have watched this evening 'University Challenge' and put my knowledge in the category of Plymouth who lost to Durham by 280 points. ( Plymouth 45; Durham 325.)

Is there any ABer who would claim to be more knowledgeable than me?.:-):-)

Ron.

[bednobs]

sorry ron, don't understand your question - do you mean you predicted the score?

[To-Ryscum]

Oi -Ron - thats a poor score mate

Damn, I forgot it was on as I had visitors. Will have to watch it on the iplayer. I am usually lucky if I can get about 4 or 5 questions correct. My record is 9 but they did have a music round that night.

[Prudie]

Yes Ron, I answered more than Plymouth did!

Don't be too downhearted. Durham was my alma mater. We have a reputation for being a bunch of clever ******.

[Psybbo]

I can think of a few - but not me.

[Philtaz]

...or do you mean you class yourself as intellectually inferior to the AB community?

[vivandorron]

5 points off you all for failing to correctly answer my question.:-)

Ron.

[boxtops]

I got quite a few questions right tonight, but the mathematical formulae were way over my head.

[To-Ryscum]

well,Come on..come on...come on....we must have an anwer .Ron!

[Philtaz]

Got a couple of bonus questions, the only starter I got which neither team did was the Madonna question!





Hardly a claim to fame though.......

[mightyWBA]

I regularly compete for the "University of West Bromwich" when it's on...Got 100 points the other week..No conferring!

Not bad for a tin basher :-)

[boxtops]

They were probably all too young to remember Madonna...

[To-Ryscum]

...er,Baggies Poly

What I have noticed is that very few of the students these days use the term 'reading' when describing their field of study.

[DTCwordfan]

well Alistair Cooke outscored the Indians on the first innings - ten vs one, so what's the point if one could outscore Plymouth.

Honestly, put a glorified tech college up against the equivalent of an Ivy League Uni you are going to get this sort of result. Bet they had never heard of three-quarters of the history, english, art, philosophy and logic questions of which there were plenty....

The Plymouthteam probably thought that Exmoor was Bobby Moore's old woman......

[boxtops]

Mike, it's seems to depend which topic they study, I have noticed that some do, most don't.

[mike11111]

Harsh, but true.

[Prudie]

I'm not so sure, I doubt they've heard of Bobby Moore
