      I do have a tacky gold painted plastic "trophy" following my success at a Pub Quiz many years ago..... and the undying respect of a group of middle aged drunken slappers who co-opted me onto thier team - they called me "The Professor" for many years afterwards......

      but you are correct in your assumption that its not top of my hobby list.

          The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

          But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

            That was random of you, wasn't it, Scourer?

            It's all the people at the edge of the world looking at pretty red sunsets and at the other edge of the world looking at pretty red dawns. Their eyeballs suck all the red out of the sunshine as it comes round and that makes it sad so it's all blue when it gets to us.
            I also typed a correct answer about refraction according to wavelength but that's boring so I deleted it.

                    Hmm, either you skipped a couple somewhere or there is some confusion.

                      Maybe where you live, I've played against the current Brain of Britain champion. That might be a bit below your level, I suspect you are in the CUK 1% club!
