Its hardly clumsy! (and, yes - I did know the origin of your name pratik).

the Biker-X is a duel slalom race which was the only one I won when I was a junior, and 23 is my lucky number (also the number i was racing under on the day, coincidentally). Its served me well though, as its rememberable and easily abbreviated.


Fair enough. It was also the number of Michael Jordan's jersey IIRC. Anyhows, I'm happy enough with my new one (for now), plus I had an awesome time seeing Ash at Reading after my GCSEs when I was really high*, so it will do.

*obviously in terms of altitude. :wink:

Tell that to everyone else then. :p:

Anyhows, this thread has gone completely off topic from me saying that Oxford/Cambridge have only won so many titles as they are allowed multiple entries.

Technically every university is allowed to enter as many teams as they want... Although Granada probably wouldn;t let two from the same university both get onto the show.

We got to interview stage last year. This year's is to come. Btw, whereabouts in Berks you from? I'm from Reading!



I'm from Newbury (well, one of the tiny villages outside it). I didn't know there was an interview stage, mayb we'll have better luck this year (we can't let Magdalen keep winning :smile: )

Have Merton ever put up a team? For an supposedly 'academic' college I don't think I've ever seen them :s

hmm, they won in 1980, but i havn't seen them on the show in the last few years.
