Egg Heads - Natalie Pike

[kas_tippler]

I've met Kevin and Barry in real life. Kevin's very quiet and you can't move in his house for books apparently. Barry was sound and a good laugh.

Barry seems a top guy, Kevin is uber clever and dopey Dave is a rag!

I'm related to the big bald guy

It is.
Bound to go head to head with Dave "Tremendous Knowledge" Rainford

If ever any Rag typified the arrogant, smug, self-serving, entitled Rag hordes, this guy does. As soon as he appeared, my interest in this programme vanished!

Used to live off free beer from St Catherine's Wednesday night quiz.

As I have moved widely in the world of quizzing I know most of the |Eggheads very well, and played against them all except Judith (of the original ones. )

There was one of the others who is disliked for being egotistical, manipulative and disingenuous. Before I played against this person an experienced quizzer rang me up and said "Watch out for ------, who is a cheat and will bend the rules." He was right.

I mustn't say who.

How do you cheat (unless calling / texting a friend) and bend the rules? The question is either right or wrong!

Would I be right in thinking I could See Jay leno disliking the player too?

Believe me, some do bend the rules. In this particular quiz ("Brain of Britain"), you are supposed to wait until an opponent has had a wrong answer declared incorrect, or in the case of no answer the ten-seconds allowed must have elapsed, before anyone else buzzes in. I abided by those rules, and found this person buzzing in before he/she was entitled to, without being penalised by the adjudicators.

The quiz world can be very cut-throat and peopled by those with pretty non-existent lives outside of that bubble.

It is not sour grapes on my part since I have won prestigious TV and radio quizzes.

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, my friend. I mean PRESTIGIOUS. Since this is my thousandth post I shall content myself with that comment and return to my fireside.
