Starter for 10 Page #3

Three is potassium permanganate,

and five is Papua New Guinea.

Support our nurses. Support our nurses.

Brian, can I help you?

I'm here for the team meeting.

- Alice. Hello. Come in.

- Hi.

Brian, you're not on the team.

Alice here beat you.

- Only by one point.

- Well, even so, Brian's still the loser.

Well, loser's a strong word.

He is first reserve.

Shoes off, please. Follow me.

Brian, I am so sorry.

If you hadn't given me those answers,

you'd have been on the team.

Alice, it's no big deal.

- Really?

- Yeah.

All right, but I owe you.

Watts, Bristol.

Sorry, going to have to hurry you.

Is it...

Schubert, Death and the Maiden. Schubert!

Tchaikovsky?

No, I'm afraid

that's not the correct answer. Anyone?

- Salmon, Queens.

- Schubert, Death and the Maiden.

Is correct. That's the sound of the gong.

The winners of this year's grand final

are Queens' College, Cambridge.

Obviously,

I take no pleasure in showing that to you.

But, as someone once wrote,

"To err is human."

Anyone?

Alexander Pope's Essay On Man?

And, you know, I really feel that

with dedication

and good old-fashioned teamwork,

that this could be our year.

Which is why we're all assembled here today.

The Fantastic Four, if you will.

Each with his or her own special powers.

Colin, history, politics.

Lucy, science, medicine.

Alice, art and literature.

And myself

as a sort of floating Renaissance man.

Brian! Coaster, please.

Now, the qualifying heats

are in two weeks' time.

It's untelevised, of course,

but we'll still need to be in good form

if we're to show them what we can do.

- Brian.

- Shall I come along to that?

- That won't be necessary.

- He is first reserve.

- And I'd be more than happy.

- Team members only, Brian.

I'm sure we can manage without you.

I'm so sorry.

Now, quantum mechanics, anyone?

Dear Spencer, just a quick note

to let you know how things are going here.

My housemates are really interesting.

It's great to meet people

from different backgrounds,

and we are all having a really good laugh.

I'm so sorry.

I've also become

increasingly politically active,

and have so far protested against

apartheid, nuclear weapons, nuclear power,

gay bashing

and sexual exploitation of women.

...rather than mere objects

for the sexual entertainment of men.

Did you know that, under the bastard Tories,

seven percent of the country

currently own 84% of the wealth?

It's the same old story. The rich get richer,

and the most

vulnerable in our country suffer.

Anyway, how are you?

How's the job hunt going?

Got anything more permanent,

or are you still signing on?

I know there's not much out there

at the moment, thanks to bloody Thatcher.
