Your mastermind specialist subject

[red_tom]

I'd have to go for the films of Stacy Peralta. (Many years of my youth spent watching and rewatching skateboarding videos)

What would yours be?

Belgian beer and breweries

Years ago as a kid, a mate of mine bought a book of Mastermind questions. On the works of JRR Tolkien, I only got one question wrong which was something about what do the Elves call October....

I beat one of the Mastermind contestants on his specialist knowledge round one year much to the surprise of my wife. I scored fourteen points on post grouping - pre-nationalisation railways of Britain 1923 - 1948.

I crashed and burned in the general knowledge round.

The complete works of Thomas Covenant by Stephen Donaldson
The Movie One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
The complete recorded works of Husker Du (band and Solo)
and of course
Chelsea Football Club

 

[jig-sore]

the classic mini (not that crappy new one that BMW make)

 

[accountantpete]

The words and wisdom of Stuart Hall

small clip for the uninitiated here

 

[vernon]

The literary works of Peter Tinniswood

Thanks for reminding me of the great man.

I loved his stuff.

Ahhh.... I'll need to think of something really geeky and sad-o here! Forget Tolkien, forget Larry Niven, forget Douglas Adams; far too old-hat and too often 'done before'.

Possibly I could swot up on Dreyer's NGC catalogue and answer a few questions - I seem to recall I'm better than some at remembering the numbers. The Q&A session would be excruciatingly boring to those not in the know. But isn't that the point?

As a boy, my answer would have been Asterix books.

Now, I don't know enough about anything to qualify.

Vern........I'm not sure that I'd have mentioned that!

Marcel Proust and The Detailing of Plasterboard (that's two subjects, not one). Followed by the life of Sir John Vanbrugh.

good question. I would say 1994. But will have to check.



Yep, 7 games without a win in the 94/95 season....
