I don’t know why tweeting along to University Challenge became a thing I do, but it certainly has. It’s got the point where, if I’m out when it’s on, I start to feel tetchy; “What am I not at home, when I could be being gently snarky about a socially challenged student I’ve never met?” This was nearly the case today, as I was meant to be gigging, but London's tube strike meant I had to forgo that, with the positive upshot that I could resume my usual Twitter antics. See below for today’s result: Peterhouse Cambridge Vs. Corpus Christi Oxford (09.01.17) 8:01pm: Paxman's eyebrows look darker. Discuss. 8:02pm: Levinson has so many names. So many many names. 8:02pm: I'm taking how Levinson says "Hello" as my own. 8:03pm: Sweetenham: pour honey on it. 8:07pm: The lenses of Oxford Fleet's glasses are as thick as Bowen's. 8:07pm: Sweetenham's thick luxuriant hair. ...

See below for my childish moment by moment commentary of tonight’s show; I apologise if I cause any offence.  Queens' Cambridge Vs. Peterhouse Cambridge (01.08.16) 8:03pm: Jeremy Paxman's still rocking the look of a weary old woman. 8:05pm: Swentenham: hair like a young Aled Jones. 8:07pm: Syvret has committed a massive, sickening crime that's yet to be discovered. 8:08pm: I'd appropriately like to hold an enquiry into whether Levinson's real. 8:10pm: Paxman even feels disdain for the question cards in his hand. 8:13pm: Adamson has the shiftiness of a man who killed the fourth of Queens' chosen contestants and taken his place. 8:15pm: Sweetenham's hair is softer than the softest hair y...

Here’s today’s Twitter snarking about this evening’s episode of University Challenge. I apologise for my directness; I assure you that I’m not as bitchy as it seems. 8:06pm: Cambridge's Powell: the # UniversityChallenge Gimp Apex. 8:08pm: I do love a # UniversityChallenge contestant who's speech impediment precludes them from saying the subject they're studying. # Powell 8:09pm: Oscar Powell: a Boris Johnson love-child. 8:13pm: Cambridge's Langley used to present Look Around You. 8:16pm: Oscar Powell will be a future Tory Prime Minister. Mark my words. 8:18pm: I'd like to ruffle Russell's fluffy hair whilst singing Proclaimers hits at Clegg. 8:22pm: If Wood and Sowood married each other and then double-barrelled their names, they'd end up as Mr & Mrs Wood-Sowood. 8:25pm: The sexual tension between Paxman and Woods is palpable. 8:26pm: Powell has a poster ...
