Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Excellent surprise last night, University Challenge was back on! I mean television is so bad right now, cricket on the BBC excepted, but even that has been 'jazzed up' a touch too much.

Missed it but noticed it fiddling about on iplayer.

Got some nice answers, about 12 in all, slow start, warmed up, made a massive balls-up of the Spanish/Flags, could do better...rooting for Exeter as Glasgow looked the usual set of quiz misfits!

Hopefully they filmed OC before LD.

Yes it was a surprise, nearly missed it. Didn't keep a tally of my score, but did get a couple of the flags.

I'll have to admit a couple were lucky guesses. The description wasn't left on the screen long enough for me to read through and translate!

Aargh I didn't see that it was on. Hopefully the magic box has remembered to record it given that we had all the previous series were on linked record. (or I could just find it on iplayer of course)

Not just police officers who are looking younger: the answer 'Roxy Music' was a good guess but - was there any team member who was alive when 'Virginia Plain' was released?

No, but at least spotify and the like have some positive side effects.
