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

[scifisam]

Museums in London. Broaden it to England if you don't think the 80+ in London are enough.

Or air crashes.

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

The Life and Works of Brian O'Nolan aka Flann O'Brien.

Probably give me a week to bone up on him and I could do it.

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

Hello Paul

You could do it on the "Pictorial History of the Naked Urbanites" thread

 

[cyberfairy]

Riot grrl music and the haunting of Borley Rectory.

 

[_angel_]

The Life and Works of Brian O'Nolan aka Flann O'Brien.

Probably give me a week to bone up on him and I could do it.

I think that'd be my second choice, altho I never managed to plough thru At Swim Two Birds, I read the rest (would need a brush up).

 

[_angel_]

for what? i haven't reported owt. but learn to control your other half ffs.

Control? You make him sound like a dog. Imagine saying that if the genders were the other way round!

 

[krtek a houby]

It's the fairy blood that tastes so sweet. I didn't like series 4 ending, too many loose ends.

oooh, don't tell me - have only finished season 3!

 

[krtek a houby]

That's the one that I found too much to read, was very disappointed not being able for it. My local in Dublin has an IOU to the then landlord from Flann & he used to live up the road from me...

 

[lizzieloo]

The wives of Henry VIII

 

[dessiato]

oooh, don't tell me - have only finished season 3!

Season 5 is due summer 2012

 

[binka]

Yeah, we know. Can't say we're happy about it because they're racking up.

does it really matter?

 

[krtek a houby]

I'm so behind... bit like Law & Order SVU, reckon I'm 4 seasons behind there

 

[stavros]

What you meant was " ....that would be an ecumenical matter"

Right so...

I can't work out if the chances of me going on Mastermind are small or far away.

 

[Kidda]

The BBC sitcom The Royle Family (including specials)

The BBC sitcom The Royle Family (including specials)

Torture!

 

[ElizabethofYork]

The wives of Henry VIII

Me too. Or maybe Women of the Tudor Court.

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

It rewards the investment in my opinion, give it another go

 

[Captain Hurrah]

Control? You make him sound like a dog. Imagine saying that if the genders were the other way round!

 

[Ceej]

Could probably have a stab at modern British crime novels 1985 to the present day.
Or the films of Mel Brooks.

 

[redsnapper]

The art of growing Bonsai trees. Seriously. Been into it since I was about 14.

 

[purenarcotic]

The best sitcom ever!

Corrected for you.

I tried about a hundred times. Wasn't that the only one that was published during his life? I think the Third Policeman is the best one, but wasn't published till after he died?

 

[davesgcr]

The New York Subway System , or The life (not the poems) of Dylan Thomas

Both quite major obsessions.

 

[DotCommunist]

Could do Dune but would be hamstrung by my denial that the prequels exist

 

[starfish]

The 87th Precinct novels by Ed McBain, although id need a bit more time as ive still got 16 of them to read.

To amuse Ed I'd do History of Cardiff City FC.

 

[Pickman's model]

a history of cardiff city's hooligan firms

 

[badlands]

The life of Roberto Duran
