University Challenged

I don't know about you, but I get the impression that the bastion of youth culture known as University Challenge, has been dumbing down of late.

Why?

Because I find I can answer so many of the questions asked by the venerable Mr. Paxman.

I didn't scape together enough brains to go to Uni. I have never studied advanced biology, physics, chemistry, although an absolute love of the English language has stood me in good stead over the years.

However, sitting in front of the box whilst pairing socks tonight, I answered more questions correctly than the four combined brains of the St.Johns College - Cambridge team.

Now, I haven't recently been swallowing large amounts of Omega 3 essential fish oil tablets, and I haven't taken to scanning the Encyclopaedia Britannica in my spare time.

So something must have changed.

Perhaps it's life experience.

Maybe not.

I have yet to pair up one pair of socks correctly.
