Hello FTers. I'll be showing my face on TV Monday after next (Aug 29th). I'll be one of four members representing Manchester Uni on University Challenge. BBC2 8pm. :)

Very impressed, doublemm. Wonder if you'll be sitting on someone's head or someone will be sitting on yours!

Not quite sure how to take that Mr Viking, sir! Anyway,doublemm's from Greater Manchester like all the best people- he doesn't need luck, he'll walk it!

If I remember correctly I was doing the head-sitting. Since the show is filmed in Manchester we were playing on home ground. Our opponents came all the way from Cambridge.

Oh, fiddlesticks. I don't get the BBC!

Thanks Acorn :). Someone will occasionally upload an episode onto Youtube, but it doesn't look like anybody's done that with the episodes which have been broadcast so far. There is a site which does a pretty thorough write-up of each episode. If any non-Brit FTers are interested I'll post a link to the site after the episode has been broadcast.

It's on this evening so the llamas are pacing nervously round the paddock because we don't know if he won either!

It starts in 3 hours time, so 3 and a half hours and the report will be up :)

In my opinion, Peanut will win with flying colors and we will all cheer and offer him congratulations.

I do hate waiting....but I will....just because I have to....lol

Just over one hour to go.

I am beginning to suspect Peanut likes us being in suspense.

He probably signed a 'keep your lips sealed' agreement.

One minute has passed.....lol
