15 - update!!! Watch University Challenge being filmed!


I found out that one of the episodes of University Challenge was being aired on BBC2 this week! Funnily enough, I wasn't meant to be around to watch it, but due to a set of very strange circumstances I happened to be at home, and here I appear in the audience for about 2 seconds!

I got 15 questions (and a half) right, which was quite poor considering that I had heard them all back in July - perhaps my memory was affected by being just metres away from one of my heroes - Mr J Paxman!

19. Buy new bike from government scheme!

I don't really need a new bike, but since I never get anything from the government, I thought I would take advantage of the "Cycle to Work" scheme where you get taxfree bikes and equipment! Except the guy in the shop didn't tell me until I had handed over my credit card that you need to spend in excess of £200... Which means I've just bought a new bike and paid VAT on it....

101. The last one on the list! But not the FINAL one on the list!

101. Win something in the competitions I enter!
I won a signed album by my favourite band! And one of the members has signed it twice!!
