I don’t know how I missed making a preview las week, but I’m going to ty to make amends now. In Monday night’s Mastermind the specialist subjects will be:-
The New York Subway system
The Ocean’s Films
The Easter Rising
The Novels of Donna Tartt
Now, there isn’t really anything which resembles a ‘banker’
subject there. If we take the first, I absolutely love subway and metro systems.
I’ve enjoyed using them all over Europe. But . . . I have never used the New
York subway and know very little about it. As a matter of principle I will wiki
it to try and get one or two points.
I’ve seen and enjoyed the remake of Ocean’s Eleven – ie not
the Sinatra one – but it’s the only one I’ve watched. Potential of a point,
maybe 2.
The Easter Rising offers a chance of another point or maybe
two – 20th Cenury British and Irish History is not a banker subject for
me, but it is something that I know a bit about.
As for the novels of Donna Tartt, well, I did read The
Secre History, and I’m afraid it’s one of those novels where I can appreciate
the prose, and the skill, but I didn’t really enjoy reading it very much.
Again, maybe one, maybe none.
So looking at that, while last week’s was my lowest
specialist aggregate for a while, I ca’ really say there’s any guarantee I’ll
beat it on Monday.
