I heard him mention this on the podcast. I hope he just answers the questions without then going on and saying “I have a theory about that …” 😉
Not even a proper university.
I was just wondering myself if Middlesex was a University when Heppers was there and not a Polytechnic.
Poly
Did he say when he was there?
Graduated 72
Does he have a book out on what the best year to be at Middx Poly was? Or why it’s underrated?
@Colin-H
If he hasn’t yet, he soon will
Thanks Colin, I dun a lol at that.
The answer is always Benjamin Britten or Vaughan Williams.
…even when it’s Saint-Saëns?
Especially if it’s Saint-Saëns.
He did well
That Heathcote chap who came off the bench to replace the captain got a lot of the questions right and made a big difference.
The Middlesex oiks beat the Corpus Christi Oxford toffs ! Not just beat them, smashed them!
Well done Heppo and pals. The super sub that came in for the semi and final certainly knew his onions
Huge fun this Christmas series.
I loved that super sub Heathcote kept forgetting that there’s no conferring on starter questions.
The opposition was from Bangor, I think. Two rugger buggers on the right.
Bangor was the semi final .. the final was v CC Oxford
The new Bamber/Jeremy seemed to be pretty good although he does have a Jezzer-like sneer at very wrong answers. Bamber used to just smile and say “er, nnno…”.
He has settled in very quickly, and been good and likeable, though he really must stop asking every losing team ‘Have you enjoyed yourselves?’ – as if they’re going to say ‘no we hated every minute, and we wuz robbed, you bastard’.
Sad indictment of how far this once great show has fallen
is that there’s no sign of a gonk* or student scarf draped over
either of the two team benches
* Other whacky mascots are available
CC Oxford did have a large* pelican.
* very large in fact full size.
What’s really sad is that if a team chooses to display a mascot of any kind, they’d better check it out first with the Thought Police in case their choice of fluffy animal turns out to be interpreted by a vanishingly small number of keyboard warriors as some sort of outrage, like an octopus, which was obviously an ‘antisemitic trope’, FFS.
Interesting article:

I agree. Excellent.
The Jewish currently have “friends” who they really would be better without.
