(Not) famous for thirty minutes...

You can keep your reconstituted Paxo version of 'University Challenge': this was the daddy of inter-college gameshows in 1990. (What do you mean, you've never heard of it?)

One day I might expand upon how a rather hungover Sandy Fraser, Chris Pope and I got to represent Cranfield Institute of Technology in a national TV show. For now, I'll just tease you with this image:No, Sandy - the answer isn't "oh f***".

Actually, his response was to me picking 'Science' as a category, only to get four questions on biology - which we promptly fluffed (researching marine technology and molecular electronics as we were!). But he did restore some honour to Cranfield by giving four straight correct answers to questions on the 1988 Olympics.

From which one could conclude that we were a bunch of wasters who knew nothing about anything except sport.

Wasn't my hair scary!

Not as scary as losing to Manchester Poly, though.

Thank God no-one had a squarial.
