Mastermind

[kinboshi]

My specialist subject. Assuming I pass the final audition, having passed one

"Football stadium designs of Archibald Leitch"

Fascinating subject, Leitch was a protestant Glaswegian who owned a firm of engineers, and from the turn of the 1900s until the 1930s designed and built stadia or stands in stadia at over 40 English and Scottish grounds

Eight of his stands survive, most notably the main stands at Ibrox, Fratton Park and one side of White Hart Lane and Goodison


zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

You need to be prepared, you may be asked questions on Cary Grant!

In the semi-final, his specialist subject is Belgium.  He might be asking you for some help with that one..

Briefly hijacking G1's Thread......

Did you know that Tighty once won the real Mastermind, or come 2nd, I forget which - & he's about to go on Mastermind again. I dare not tell you his specialist subject, but it's a corker.

OK, back-on topic, you may carry on........

Train topic please.......

Good subject - hope it gets through.

Picking the right specialist subject is key - you need to get away with as narrow a subject as possible, so there's less to learn.

I remember on one recent series some idiot picked 'British history between the two world wars' - ie 'anything that happened in Britain between 1918 and 1939'.

He didn't do too well.

I was quite surprised as Jesus wasn't nearly fat enough to be American

the Street stand in Sheffield, brammall lane...see before and after photos on my diary


the Sentinel works that Laz refers to is the oldest surviving Leitch building, and Glasgow's first ferro-concrete construction

Still there today, but sadly lies derelict, grade A listed

It's under threat

In 1995 an application to demolish the building was submitted to Glasgow district council by Strathclyde regional council in connection with the proposed M74 extension. Following advice from Historic Scotland, however, it was accepted that the demolition of the building was no longer required in connection with the extension of the motorway and the application was withdrawn.
