So, you're on Mastermind. What's your specialist subject?

[xes]

Acid techno, cos I love fat 303s, fat rigs, fast drugs, fuck you.

 

[wtfftw]

You haven't seen any of it, have you?

I have acquired all of it.

 

[Boris Sprinkler]

The life and works of Vivian Stanshall.

This reminded of my friend Sutcliff (his urban name). Thanks.

Damnit, I was going to post that clip .

Bizarrely, my specialist subject would be Piers Plowman.

 

[Orang Utan]

I got more questions right than Wayne Hemingway did on disco music, so maybe that, or something else music related.
I know what my dad's would be - Antarctica.
He appears to have read all these books on it:

Has your boyfriend taken over your account completely now?

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Has to be a subject not too broad, Leeds UFC is far too broad, Leeds UFC 1976-1991 is cool.

Personally I'll take 'The Novels of Tom Sharpe' please.

Oh, and the celebrity Mastermind that's on right now, are the questions far easier than regular mastermind? I'm getting around 90% of the general knowledge ones correct!

 

[Orang Utan]

They're a lot easier, even the specialist questions. One of the disco questions asked what disco film john travolta starred in

 

[Lo Siento.]

trade union militancy in the 1970s (though I'd wager there's a fair few on here, who would know a lot more than me...)

Damn, I thought I was getting more clever

 

[Thraex]

I tend to get fairly obsessed about a particular subject, read loads around it and then move on. So at the moment my specialist subject would be Gladiatorial spectacle between c. 250 BCE - 0 CE; or The Flavian Amphitheatre (the Colosseum).

 

[krtek a houby]

The life and hard times of Sooki Stackhouse. Easy revision, great fun, and I like it!

Then you should do it for Mastermind, too.

 

[wtfftw]

No. I'll happily shout wrong answers at the TV though.

 

[Greebo]

The vampire fiction of Lucy Palmer.

 

[Captain Hurrah]

I do the same.

For me, it would be either:

The films of John Carpenter

Russian Jacobinism 1870-1890s (ish)

Rural rebellion and Communist insurgency in Cambodia, 1967-1970

 

[Thraex]

I do the same.

I find it quite trying at times, on my third book about Gladiators this year, with about four more on my table at home...and I was searching for a couple more earlier.

There was only about 6 of them. Would be too easy.

If I am interested in something, I want to the know most I can about it. Resources allowing.

Not The Wire then?

No, you're first against the Mastermind wall.

not quite as much, but he does have a few books. it's not as interesting as the antarctic as it's 'just' ice.

 

[Orang Utan]

No, you're first against the Mastermind wall.

please elaborate on your topic. it seems very interesting.

 

[Stigmata]

The Lindisfarne Gospels. Or the life and works of St Aethelwold of Winchester.
