If I was to appear on Mastermind my specialist subject would possibly be;

Avoidance tactics.
Culinary frugality.
Wines I have known, loved but not remembered.

What would yours be?

Witzend

Having watched it so many times, Dds and I have often said it would be Who Said What To Whom And When, in the BBC TV Pride and Prejudice. ?

Me too Witzend - I loved that programme and I loved Colin Firth as Mr Darcy. I even wrote to him and months later got a signed photo and a little note back.

My daughters and I often say to one another "And your family, they are well?" or "I will conquer this!"

And to think my daughter had to pursued me to watch it.

The life and times of Hugh Jackman. Of course I’d have to get up close and personal to study my subject…

Procrastination might be a good one for me, too.
Putting things where I'll remember to deal with them - and finding they're still there a year later.
Putting my foot in it.

How about pseudonyms Oldbat. Q. How did you come up with your GN name?

What was your friends specialist subject?

Haha. Name was given as a term of endearment by work colleague (I think anyway).
Friends specialist subject was works by an author. Being shown again this week. English isn’t her first language either. Amazing.
