We always used to play 'who's still a virgin?'
During the introductions you had to play the 'v card' but obviously there's a large amount of danger about going too early or late.

I've just switched over to have a peek. I think you may be right. Is this a new one? Whats with the clothes? It looks like the 80's!
As a matter of interest, which one wasn't?
I’m sure you’re too modest to mention it, but you were on the winning team on University Challenge on many occasions. I won’t mention your nickname though.

Wife and I remarked similarly tonight, not serial killers, more 'how on earth do you get such a high concentration of fugly people time and time again?' They all look like they stepped out of a gary larson cartoon.
Be great to be that intelligent but it seemingly comes at a price!

I was actually thinking: which one of us would have been called the serial killer?
Do you have a photo? Then we can judge.
That's precisely my concern
Took a peek and thought you were dead right.
Is it PotG?

I'm more worried about Paxman

In the early 1970s the University of Sussex we’re participating in a round of U.C. In those days the “away” team had to trog off to the host uni where the event would be televised. In this case the hosts were Keele University up there in deepest Staffordshire. The story goes that Sussex hired a coach for the journey and those involved piled on accompanied by copious numbers of crates of beer. Much booze was drunk by the time the coach arrived at Keele.
When the contest began Sussex won the first starter for ten and answered the the three bonus questions correctly. All good, all going well? Nope! The booze kicked in and our pissed up Sussex students failed to answer another question in the quiz.
This incident caused so much outrage that many letters of “disgust” and “horror” were sent to the local papers, presumably, from people who had never been on a long coach trip without a few tinnies to ease the rigours of the journey.
The upshot of the whole episode was that Sussex were not invited back to University Challenge for some years. Bravo Sussex, you did the county proud!

A question that should never be answered as it will put them in mortal danger, it's akin to when younger I was hitch hiking at night and a Lorry stopped, I climbed in and a we drove with only the dashboard lights in silence for several miles then the driver broke the silence said aren't you worried hitch hiking that I might be a serial killer.............. I laughed...... Then several more silent miles.......... Until the driver said why did you laugh.............. Well I said when you said was I not worried that you might be a serial killer I found it amusing as I thought what's the chances of two in the same Lorry

Genuinely no idea if top left in the red is male or female, and is that Ed Sheeran next to him/her?
