A couple of months ago I got the opportunity to represent my college on University Challenge. :D I was going to make a thread then, but it's more exciting now because I actually know when it will air: 29th July. :DD

You all should watch it, is what I'm getting at here. (BBC2, 20:00). For those of you who don't have access to the wonders of iPlayer, it will probably be on youtube. I will make sure it is on youtube. And link to it.

:D

:DD
 
Sorry opal, watching it on TV would be... suspicious to mom and dad, yup yup.

20:00GMT? Anyway yeah I'll definitely watch it on YouTube at some point :DD

Congratulations!
 
I totally knew nothing of this.

I look anxiously forward to hearing TRINITY DRNOVSEK ZORKO all of the time.
 
I forgot but then BBC 2 happened to be on in the background so here I am watching it.
 
I spent way too long figuring out a way to watch this, but I did! :D

TRINITY DRNOVSEK ZORKO.

(I liked the Pink Floyd question. And the "Can we name any Swedish director besides Bergman?" And "18th century Italian inventors, anybody?" And "ZULU!" And "Zinc...?")

(You should have gotten Sigur Rós, though.)

In hindsight there are lots of things I should have got. :P I'm still kicking myself for not risking the phenolphtalein question.

haha, I didn't really want to go overboard with "look guys I'm on TV!!", or I would have stubbornly bumped this thread for every subsequent UC episode as well. :P

also wtf who cares you're like the only one on this forum who has been on TV
 
"Because most of us, when we hear 'deep throat', think immediately of the Watergale scandal" no, I... thought it sounded like a porno.

That's because that's where he got the name. A porno called "Deep Throat". I know this because I once watched a series on the Sexual Revolution and have a good head for useless trivia.
