    Thanks very much Matt! It's on at 8 pm down in the South East! I won Mastermind twice, sitting in my front room the subjects were heavyweight Championship Boxing and Ernest Hemingway.Ive no doubt I would have failed had I been in front of a camera and on TV.Plus I think the questions are harder these days.

    Ah, well, I won't give away any of the questions then. You'll be surprised how well you do, some of them are so easy I was a bit confused. You'll definitely know most of them.

    i live by the thames and i see these people searching the shore at low tide, in all weather and even in the dark, had no idea you could be a proffesional at it. that combined with learning the word asphyxiw ank meant i was too amused to pay attention to most of it so far. got 1 nazi question right tho.

    went about 50/50 on the johnson questions, those guys answer quick.

    I did pretty well in that.

    If I had actually bothered to prepare, I would have had a prety good shot.
