Life After Mastermind: July 2015
http://lifeaftermastermind.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
A loveable miscellany of all things quiz. Sunday, 26 July 2015. I've just read in Weaver's Week that Jenny Ryan is going to be the new Chaser. That's great news. Jenny is possibly best known to the wider quizzing public as a member of the victorious Only Connect Series 3 champs The Gamblers. I first met Jenny in 2006, when we were both stand-ins for the semi finals of Mastermind. I'm absolutely delighted for her, and wish her every success. Saturday, 25 July 2015. Who won the Open in a play off? The Cali...

A loveable miscellany of all things quiz. Saturday, 8 August 2015. Only Connect Season 11 - Match 4. Collectors v. Railwaymen. The collectors were, collectively, Daniel Nazarian, Anna Kirby-Hall, and captain Elliot Costi. Their opponents, the Railwaymen, were Sree Kanthamneni and captain Bob Thompson. Not knowing who to root for I settled on the Rails, since I was quite partial to railways in my younger days. Round One – What’s the Connection? Round Two – What comes Fourth? The 2013 Quiz of the Year Book.

Life After Mastermind: December 2014
http://lifeaftermastermind.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
A loveable miscellany of all things quiz. Monday, 29 December 2014. Sleb Mastermind - Show 5. Century one-time Queen consort. Takes all sorts, I spose. Now, following Rob’s round, the other GK rounds were going to be put in the shade anyway, but actually Amy’s round wasn’t that bad. She had obviously put some work in, since some of the questions she actually got were the more difficult ones in the round. Nonetheless 6 wouldn’t put her in contention at half time. The Novels of Jane Austen. 6 – 2. For his ...

Life After Mastermind: University Challenge - Round One - Match Three
http://lifeaftermastermind.blogspot.com/2015/08/university-challenge-round-one-match.html
A loveable miscellany of all things quiz. Saturday, 1 August 2015. University Challenge - Round One - Match Three. Kent v. Newcastle. So Newcastle won by 145 to 115. For once JP hit the nail on the head when he said that 115 is a perfectly reasonable score, but I dare say that there is little or no chance of them returning with that. Well played New3castle – a good win. I don’t know if JP was on a promise on Monday night, be he seemed quite eager to get the show over with. ‘Come on Kent! He did give Nich...
