Mastermind

I'm kinda happy to not know most of the answers to those obscure questions. I'll be the first to admit that I need to get out more but Jayzus!!! I'd do better with a Moz solo career quiz but not much better :)

I've been doing the Wythenshaw Waltz and watching the fireworks in the park. Just got back and watched it on iplayer.

I got the first one wrong - I know it's Wolstencroft but my first answer was Dale Hibbert. Schoolboy error.

And I had no idea about the Chickory Tip question. But, come on, 250 miles for this crap?


I got 8 of his general knowledge questions as well - so, in theory, 20 points - at least I wouldn't have been last.

Absolutely. But I think I'd definitely do better than most of the contestants on "Million Pound Drop"...

How the hell did he get the song lyric wrong? Well, I wonder? What was he thinking? :eek:
 
Uncleskinny, you spoilt my enjoyment.

I've been to Oxford to see Edwyn Collins featuring splendid Boz Boorer this evening.

You could've added spoiler tag to each answer.

I make that 9 points :confused::confused:
 
I seem to recall the Johnny Rae question being asked last time someone did The Smiths on mastermind. This guy obviously hadn't seen that episode!

The guy doing John Betjeman as a specialist subject was useless. I think I answered more correctly than him and I only have a passing interest in Sir John!
