What, preview time already? Hey, count yourselves lucky I’ve been ill then away for the last few days, or you would have had it even earlier.
So tomorrow night’s specialist subjects will be : -
Bridget Riley
The Winter Olympics 2002 – 2022
The Sitcoms of Peter Kay
The History of St. Albans
Going through them, I would say unless I have a lucky guess
there’s really nothing for me in Bridget Reilly. A point if I’m lucky. The
Winter Olympics. Now, the fact that this is limited to the Winter Olympics of
the 21st century, that suggests that in depth knowledge of each
event in each games is going to be required. (What’s that? In 2006 you took on
the Summer Olympics – all of them, didn’t you, Dave? Well, alright, I did, but
that was then and this is now.) Because I don’t think there’s going to be that
much general in them I think maybe 1 or at most 2. As for the sitcoms of Peter
Kay, well I’d say that this is the closest thing I have to a banker subject in this
show, but even then my love of Phoenix Nights, Max and Paddy’s Road to Nowhere
and Car Share are by no means guaranteed to bring much here. Let’s say a maximum
of three. Finally, the History of St. Albans. Little chance of points here unless
it asks about Verulamium, Francis Bacon, or my several times great uncle Jabez
Rainbow, who was found guilty of trying to murder his mistress in a hotel in
St. Albans by slitting her throat. She survived, and it was her testimony in
his favour at the trial – apparently he was off his . . . head on laudanum, that persuaded them to
downgrade his original death sentence to transportation to Van Diemen’s Land. And
let’s be honest . . . they ain’t going to ask about him, are they?
So – 3 – 6 I would say. Pools forecast, I’d tear up your coupon
if I were you.
