Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

A John Waters round on UC?? Woooo. I was practically screaming Divine at them for the first answer. I think I could have single handedly beaten Cambridge tonight, they weren't great.

VCM has posted this morning that some viewers appear to have reacted badly to some of the less "conventional" or "traditional" characters on yesterday's OC. She's right of course; but that doesn't stop us from having personal reactions to people's personalities which are independent of other factors of their lives or lifestyles.

Whilst I didn't warm to the winning team, she is absolutely right that places like OC should be welcoming to all comers!

Quite.

Anyway... I too was glad St Andrews won yesterday. The opponents' chit chat before answering made us wonder - sometimes Paxman chivvies teams for an answer but I'm not actually aware of a time limit on answering, is there?

I think the insistence that multiple Oxbridge colleges can appear when they have hundreds of students each but other universities can't is all wrong and is an unwelcome hangover from the discredited class system of erm, the 19th century and beyond.

There *are* people on Twitter who score themselves every week and post a photo of their score.

These people should be shunned and denied food and water until they repent.
