Sphincter preservation and the lapdog in the 18th century - and the questions haven't even started yet.

Do you feel guilty about your wight western priva (ledge), Monday, 5 October 2015 22:01 (ten years ago)

I would like to note that I'm on a roll recently for getting first questions correct and before they do.
Is this week the first week in a while there's not been a Morrissey reference?

kinder, Tuesday, 6 October 2015 15:10 (ten years ago)

my run is broken
Didn't they have a similar question on 'c.f.' last week or did I imagine that?

kinder, Tuesday, 13 October 2015 20:06 (ten years ago)

Was that not on Only Connect?

ailsa, Wednesday, 14 October 2015 06:57 (ten years ago)

cf. - it wasn't on UC that I recall

Loveday worked in our office as an intern a few years ago, nice kid, terrifyingly intelligent though.

Not enough bullying in the world for this Powell cunt

Saoirse birther (darraghmac), Monday, 18 January 2016 21:24 (ten years ago)

I secretly enjoyed Paxo mocking Woods' whining "oh I don't know" stance (though it was a little mean).

ailsa, Monday, 18 January 2016 23:02 (ten years ago)

She was overperforming it a wee bit tbf but y

Saoirse birther (darraghmac), Monday, 18 January 2016 23:05 (ten years ago)

Lambda, who doesn't know that wavelength is lambda. Idiots, blew it.

broderick f (darraghmac), Monday, 8 February 2016 20:03 (ten years ago)

I generally prefer my UC crush objects to get a little more involved, but yeah

Ah God this guy is just appalling appalling

Mark G, Monday, 22 February 2016 20:28 (ten years ago)

Ah cmon

Woods killed it tonight

Soon all logins will look like this (darraghmac), Monday, 22 February 2016 20:30 (ten years ago)

How the hell did he (the appalling one) know the tag line for The Fly?

ledge, Monday, 22 February 2016 20:51 (ten years ago)

I know that was def a blink moment

We noticed Woods totally ignoring Powell for large parts of the show. I reckon she developed the supercilious left eyebrow to mock him out of his line of vision.

ailsa, Monday, 22 February 2016 21:58 (ten years ago)

She was definitely there to keep the boys inline as a Captain should. And 'Warfarin' was definitely delivered to say the least...

Mark G, Tuesday, 23 February 2016 07:38 (ten years ago)

It's my life's work to cultivate an eyebrow like that

I liked that movie round

Number None, Monday, 7 March 2016 20:36 (ten years ago)

Handy enough this week I thought, prob meaning the question were well below the intellectual range of the overlords

Ecomigrant gnomics (darraghmac), Monday, 7 March 2016 20:57 (ten years ago)

I got the fastest interruption, when Paxo said 'Bodrum" I said 'Halicarnassus'.

Mark G, Monday, 7 March 2016 21:00 (ten years ago)

I figured it out

So is it an oxbridge final? Fuck that shit.

8 for me. Some near misses, a couple I should have known but couldn't think of.

So is it an oxbridge final? Fuck that shit.

Yes and yes. Also I'm not sure I can bear to watch Peterhouse again.
