Certainly a great game against great opposition.<br /><br />And a great write-up, Dave (sorry, just caught up, been away).redarsedbaboonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13786514603662788547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-73065096946346553352011-11-08T08:15:43.024-08:002011-11-08T08:15:43.024-08:00Some random post-game thoughts from the Technologi...Some random post-game thoughts from the Technologists.<br /><br />I didn't know the Analysts by name but they looked experienced. It was like you described though - we hoped to keep ourselves competitive until the fourth round.<br /><br />Our wall was a struggle, including the opportunity to say on national television 'Now for the random guessing.' <br /><br />When I saw the missing vowels amphibians theme, I was pretty sure Only Connect wouldn't be able to resist using 'xltl'. I was very worried when I saw the theme of GSTQ lyrics, but Simon held the Analysts to gaining +2 on us on that theme, rather than +4. <br /><br />I felt like we weren't quite catching up, then the music reached that dread-inspiring crescendo and it was all over, and Victoria was announcing our team's score first.<br /><br />Wish we had been bolder on the Ringbearers and the iamb pattern. But had things gone slightly differently in another way, the Analysts could have been well ahead of us instead of it being a close game. Great game to the Analysts. <br /><br />All three of us really enjoyed being on the programme, meeting the production crew and the team, and of course our bit of micro-fame!<br /><br />BruceBruceLin42https://www.blogger.com/profile/18189830210921854962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-33579538973453080102011-11-08T02:34:37.655-08:002011-11-08T02:34:37.655-08:00Dear, oh dear.
