Hi guys - this is my first post on TSR in a loooong time. Just want to say a few things:
1. THANK YOU for watching the match last week. I'm glad you've been having fun following the series and hopefully you found our previous matches a bit more entertaining!
2. I genuinely hope that no wrists were slashed. Looking at you here, golddust
Yep, we got stomped all over, but we had a great time getting to the semis! There's no shame in being outclassed.
3. It's been great lurking on the interwebs and reading messages of support and knowing that people enjoyed watching us play.
Looking forward to the semi tonight. Can't wait to see what surprises the UCL captain trots out for us. Now if only I could stop the adrenaline rush whenever I hear the theme tune... -

Re: University ChallengeTBH I only watch it occasionally, it's not like general knowledge questions are going to help me much me with my degree lol. What I don't get is why most of contestants are always male, surely they should have an equal representation of both males and females
