Woo Hoo New Series 2021 Having already 101'ed "lack of knowledge about the geography and history of Great Britain" from previous series, that question and their answers made me smile! Just a shame it didn't produce the exasperated Paxman NO!, that would have been the icing on the cake.Hell Razor5543 wrote: ↑12 Jul 2021, 21:01 University Challenge; I knew where all three of the Universities were (although I admit I got the name of the last one wrong; I said Guildford University, whereas it was actually the University of Surrey), while the contestants didn't know where ANY of them were (and thought Guildford was Exeter!!!).

I also used to work for a DSP manufacturers in the past; LSI (Loughborough Sound Images, now known as Blue Wave Systems).NewcastleFalcon wrote: ↑12 Jul 2021, 21:21Having already 101'ed "lack of knowledge about the geography of great Britain" from previous series, that question and their answers made me smile!

No no no no! They have only gone and done it again. Tonight's British Geography howler was from Hertford College Oxford, and I am afraid to say the answerer came from Northumberland.NewcastleFalcon wrote: ↑12 Jul 2021, 21:21Having already 101'ed "lack of knowledge about the geography and history of Great Britain" from previous series, that question and their answers made me smile!

REgards NeilStarter question..Two parts to the answer from the descriptions given, one is an anagram of the other
One is the name for the area covering the upper reaches of the River that flows through the City of Durham, the other is one of the States of the United States of America.
Of course! Weardale and Delaware.mickthemaverick wrote: ↑27 Jul 2021, 08:53 Am I right in thinking that the answers may be to do with the river named after a controlled waterfall and a state that was mentioned in a song What did --------- boys, what did ----------?
