I don't know whether I should really admit this - but I am a big fan of University Challenge! I never thought i'd be sat at the edge of my sat chewing my nails but tonights final was a blinder - yes I really did just say that.


Normally myself and batman battle it out to see who can get the most (if any) answers correct and generally enjoy Jeremy Paxman not giving a damn.


Anybody else do the same or similar with other shows - or for that matter have any guilty pleasure shows?

Unfortunately that was before my time - being of the dumbed down 'not real qualification' era....


I fall totally flat on classical music and opera, its normally the obscure science questions I get right much to the mistiication of the other half


5 seems like quite a good aim - although if you have a degree in classics or ancient history or ever went to public boarding school you have no excuse for not getting them al right


Always wondered how many kids on there come from state backgrounds lol

    • There’s a couple of Gov petitions going on in relation to fireworks at the moment but this one is for banning them entirely except organised displays if anyone wants to sign. This is the only sensible way forward in my view. No one should be able to let them off in gardens or anywhere like that, it’s crazy. I am surprised some of you have said it hasn’t been as bad this year. I live near DKH Saino and it’s been absolutely terrible my way for days. This petition gained about 20,000 just in the last day or so so clearly the appetite is there! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559
    • I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.
    • Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?
    • Kam was with us last week to wallpaper a bedroom. He was a pleasure to deal with and did a fantastic job - very neat and matched the tricky pattern very well. Would certainly use again.
