Quick and to the pointless

I should have been on University Challenge this week: identifying F1 Grand Prix circuits, post-Impressionist artworks, and bands who topped John Peel's Festive 50 (Smiths, New Order, Pulp), plus a question on the longest and shortest ever Budget speeches. I did much better than the students, and I was cleaning the fridge at the same time. They're on biology now, so I've stopped listening.

    University Challenge, like A levels, is a lot easier these days. This dumbing down is, of course, the fault of the government.

    Are you sure it's not that you've got older and wiser?

    BristolBlogger, did you get a refund from the charm school. I must say some of the wit, this included, and especially Jay's end of term toy being Cluedo has kept me smiling all day.

    As this is a light hearted, I'll just say that University Challenge and Mastermind have to conducted in stony, serious silence in my house. It remains like that as I can't answer a damn question.

    I must admit I started shouting at the telly when they didn't identify the Brazilian circuit - I mean there was a SENNA corner!

    And don't get me started on the Joy Division/New Order mix-up.

    Students today.
