Its lovely to make your virtual acquaintance, and thank you for taking the time and trouble to leave a comment here. <br /><br />Its really interesting to see them recording the series later and later in the year. My final in 2007 was recorded in June, and Nancy's in 2008 in the beginning of September - not sure about Jesse's this year. They gave us about 5 or 6 weeks after the semis to learn for the final, as I recall.<br /><br />May I wish you the very best of luck , and hopefully we'll meet in the flesh some time in the near future. Thanks again for your kind words about the blog.<br /><br />Best regards<br /><br />DaveLondiniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871325359167581176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-5496727394369444492010-08-31T05:15:19.531-07:002010-08-31T05:15:19.531-07:00David - as far as I know, we haven't met. I...David - as far as I know, we haven't met. I'm a regular in the Quiz League of London, but wasn't playing the evening you sat in on the Summer League. I hope to see you in a future game.<br /><br />You're right about my previous appearences on Mastermind and Brain of Britain. I also won Counterpoint one year, which is probably why I was swearing under my breath at getting a question on Tchaikovsky symphonies wrong.<br /><br />It's interesting the way people have picked up on my moments of self-chastisement. I do them so often in the QLL that I must have forgotten that it would look odd on the TV. In any event, it's always interesting to read others' views, and thank you for your kind remarks.<br /><br />I'm recording my semi next Monday - my specialist subject is Victorian churches of London. It's interesting that mine was the first heat to be recorded, whereas last week's was apparently 23rd out of 24. I assume they're trying to pick some exciting ones to start with.<br /><br />You've got a good site, which I'll make sure I revisit.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />Paul SteeplesPaul Steepleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14850380609899260934noreply@blogger.com
