relatives on tv!

If anyone watched University Challenge tonight, the dark-haired bloke - Wallace - on the Durham team - that was my cousin Mark. Yes, the smug bastard who got a lot of the answers right and saluted at the end when everyone else waved.

We did proceed to ring up his parents and point out that we got more answers right than he did. (not to mention me pouring scorn on the Kingston team for getting none of the Disney questions right)

What was surprising was that me and dad got all the operatic ones right, as this branch of the family? Not that musical. I was 1/3 of the school orchestra's percussion section and I can sing a bit. Thing is, also not a lot of people even think about what range an opera's in, it's merely a matter of 'oh, sounds nice'. I just know what a tenor is because I know what Pavarotti and Carreras sound like.

And yep, this family is trivia and smug bastards r us. Fear us at Trivial Pursuit.

Though quizzes always get you surprised at what you *do* know - all the bakery questions, for instance. Though we would've poured scorn on Mark for not getting stottie cake right.
