English History
I didn't know this afternoon's english history question on are you smarter than a 10 year old Come again? it's a television programme that common people watch  Do people really watch it though? Even common ones? why would anyone not watch it. it's brilliant when you first turn it on because you don't know whether it's gonna be an old one or a new one so you don't know whether you're gonna get noel edmonds or dick and dom presenting but whichever one it is you still feel like you've won even before the questions are asked |

It's shit, really poor television. The idea is ok, the presentation of it is woeful. |

Didn't see the original set, but the current ones are pretty good IMHO. I've entered, and I've not done a RSQ since about no.6, so they must be ok  . Or maybe it's just because I'm "working from home" today. I didn't go to Oxford, but I know the Cambridge college I went to has an inferior namesake in Oxford, so I went for that. They're all inferior in Oxford! I was surprised he didn't go for either of the great universities (Cambridge or Hull) in the question. Not that I'm biased in any way (GO THE LIGHT BLUES!) |
