SOAS can sod off interrupting bonus questions when they’re in the lead, doesn’t make for fun viewing. Clever bunch though.

20/135 for me. Knew they’d drop House of Balloons in the Siouxsie round. What a fucking jam.

A slow start and woeful F1 track performance has held me back from a Daddy Hundred-esque score but dead chuffed with a 27/185 after a sound finish. #UniversityChallenge

I must not sit down. Sitting down is the task-killer. Sitting down is the little relief that brings total procrastination. I will face my oh fuck I sat down and it feels so nice.

Sounds like now would be a good time for Christopher Walken and Grace Jones to blow up that mine and flood Silicon Valley or whatever it was they were trying to do in that documentary I saw once

The world is acting the cunt and Monday is swabbing it’s appalling arse on your doorstep.

Dismiss it a moment or two longer with these hasselback potatoes, most of a bottle of Picpoul and then getting involved with the brandy.

Christening a baby is nothing like christening a ship. I know that now. Once again I can only apologise.

Jason Benetti gets absolutely roasted by his own production crew with the camera cut after his Austro-Turkish War reference. 🤣

This is a dreadful loss.

There was a trend a while back for posting your favourite song not in English. Les Amants which I found by accident at the end credits of Les Amants du Pont-Neuf might just be my winner.

This song is fun and you should play it once for Catherine youtu.be/FwllzZuzz58?...

Rust showing as I was slow off the mark after two weeks off but I scraped a reasonable 18/120 in the end. Was woeful on a music round I really should have done better on. #UniversityChallenge

I’m 40 minutes into watching Cabaret for the first time. This is brilliant. Why didn’t anyone tell me?

@dasneilpferd.bsky.social Got to hang out with John, Cheryl and Jose at the Brum AFI show. Plenty of reminiscing. John said he thought of you and I as Despair Faction Dads cos we were generally a bit more grown up than the rest of the gang 😂 ❤️

I have no idea how I slept on Industry for so long, or why nobody I know raved about it, but I’ve just blitzed all four series in two weeks.

Pretty fucking magnificent stuff.
