Mudskipper - sorry you were too interesting. On the up side - it will allow several beauticians/teachers from Poole the chance to win 4k. Miserable, unthinking chunts
I'm looking forward to this years tits
First egg last year was 9 April, but we'd had very mild weather. No eggs yet, but lots of nesting activity, so hopefully will be soon. Will post pics when we get some action.
You will have to be happy with cheating your way to CUK Universally Challenged year after year
SimonMac - go feck yourself, you jealous loser.

Three people were kept back to 'clarify' things so I suspect the rest of us ate a no. Having said that, one of the chaps who stayed back did have the batteryvrun out during his minute so they might have wanted to redo it. Ah well, it was interesting.
Not necessarily - the three tend to be border-line candidates, so they want to check them out. The rest will either be a clear yes or a clear no.
Or at least that's how it's worked on the other quizzes that I've auditioned for.
Got my fingers crossed for you! What was the audition like? Do they really interview 500 people just for one show?
Apparently so. It's for 3 shows total 10 to 12 contestants. They don't do the fastest finger thing any more. There were about 20 of us. Had a general knowledge quiz, played a game, then a bit in front of the camera. Three people were kept back to 'clarify' things so I suspect the rest of us ate a no.

I believe the PAFs are all in rooms near the studio and are monitored to prevent googling. (There was a famous King of Norway question when it was obvious the answer was googled)
In the old days nearly all of the big winners had spent well over £1000 on phone calls to guarantee a call back. Only 100 people (per show) would be called back and given the same question - in my case "How many Sq miles is the island of Jersey?" The nearest 10 to the answer became the 10 in the fastest finger chair. So there was a lot of luck involved in actually getting on the show. (I never got on)
Watch out for me on The Chase shortly (recorded it last November)
