Hi all,

Just a quick note to say I won't be in chat this week 'cause I am going to London to film an edition of the brilliant Uk quiz "15-to-1"!!!!!!!

I will let you know how I do and when I will be on the Tv so you can all arrange to be out that day and not have to watch it!!!!!!!!

Didn't do right well. I got my first two questions wrong so was out at the start.

If anyone wants to see me embarrass myself, watch UK Channel 4 at 3:45pm on 28th November 2002

The questions I got wrong were:

Which square in the Italian capital is the scene of an annual horse race?

The motorcycle sport Scrambling is now known as what?

Answers will follow shortly, when you ahev had chance to have a guess!

Well, I wouldn't have known that. But we were all wishing you luck I'm sure. Maybe that's where you went wrong. . .

Me again!!!!!

Despite my spectacular failure last year, I am making another bid for TV fame. I have applied to go on BBC's The Weakest Link!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will let you all know if I get accepted. Assuming they want a link as weak as me!!!!!!!!!!

Chris

PS. I have just watched the film "Brassed Off" for the first time and seen myself. I am a trombone player in the background of one of the scenes. Remember them filming, but never thoguht I was in it!!!!!!!!!

Bouncing this back up to announce that once again, I have applied to go on the television.

This time on Channels 4's Faking It. Apparently they need a newsagent for the next series so I applied!!!!!!

Glutton for punishment or what?!?!?!

Q: Which square in the Italian capital is the scene of an annual horse race?

A: Sienna Square

Very strange... I've been in Sienna, where annually the Paladio (horse race) is held on the town square. But AFAIK, Sienna is *not* the capital of Italy (which is, like you'd know, Rome).... very strange indeed

you must really want to be on television dont you! :lol:

Chris

I think it must be the Andy Warhol effect! I am determined to get my 15 minutes!!!!!

Evil nickname, I could be wrong about the wording on the question. It was definitely asking for the square but it probably wasn't about the capital. I forgot to tape the program so have never seen it!!!!!

Does anyone remember a really rubbish ITV quiz which was shown at like 3am called STASH! I was also on that. It was done to make out that members of the public were collared in the street and asked questiopns to win cash. I gambled and lost :( !!!!!

Way to go, Chris! We don't get that show any more. Best of luck. It always looks so easy sitting in the living room, but I bet it's a bit harder against the clock, under the lights. Let us know how it goes :D

There rather a strange breed, Native Texan, especially the ones from Yorkshire - you really hafta watch out for them ones!!! All a newsagent entails is standing around in a shop all day selling newspapers and magazines - not really hard work and not very taxing on the mind - hence a job perfectly suited to our Chris.... :lol:
