OT - University Challenge!

For those who don't know, it's a television program where teams from
different Universities compete in general knowledge questions.
Generally, Cambridge and St. Andrews seem to feature quite frequently,
so the good folks at the Dundee University Students' Association
contacted Granada studios and expressed an interest in forming a
Dundee team.

That is where I come in. I went along to a quiz night tonight and
impressed them with the cesspool of useless information that swims
about in my head. There were no questions about Scots law or American
history, so it was all trivia that I've picked up over the years.

There will be another quiz night on Friday, then in a week's time or
so the final team of 4 will be selected. Fingers crossed they'll pick
me! It will mean flying down to London in May or June (after exams!)
so that would be fun, since I've not been to London since 1997 and
loads of things have been built in that time.

Wish me luck!

Good Luck, Jo! I'm rooting for you! I wish I could mentally transport of
of my useless information to you! You just never know when it will come in
handy! Have fun.

goodness! WOW!! amazing!! just the chance of being able to join in sounds
great to me!

Jo underplays the wealth of information these teams have when they join -
they make the average MENSA member look like they have an IQ of 90 max LOL

good luck Jo!
