Both teams were crap at the wall, though, presumably because the Giles Coren reference threw them off course. He's even being a cunt when he isn't physically there!
I got the four cartoonists, and also realised there was a wine thing in there, but would have gone for Body instead of Legs (never heard of "legs" in a wine context before). I'd also never heard of a Radar chart, but hopefully, having got the other three right, would have got there in the end.
As for Only Connect, I'm assuming I wasn't the only one who literally screamed the answer to the 'Spanish Inquisition' question at the screen after the second clue appeared and then proceeded to hate the philosophy students after, right?
No, you weren't the only one, although I couldn't remember what it was! I knew the third one, but couldn't remember the last, and just sat there muttering "Fear...Fear & Surprise...Fear, Surprise & Ruthless Efficiency...Fear, Surprise, Ruthless Efficiency and...and..." to myself over and over.
I still managed to sneer at the philosophy students though. I had the Hitchhikers down to win from the start, simply because the Philosophers had too narrow a team (insert your own sizeist joke here).
I'm pretty awesome at the vowels round. I've started seeing how many I get before the people on the show.. got about 6 or 7 last night.
Me too.
It's odd, I did very badly last week, I barely got one question right apart from the vowels round; but this week I would have got 3, if not 5 points on the Archaic Acid Names one, and would have got 2 if not 3 for the Radio Four Theme Tunes one. There were a few more that I could have got 1 point on as well.
Perhaps we
should have a team after all? Jutl would have to be on it, mind.
