I am fully recovered from by 3 days tubing so I am up for some evening fun, perhaps a Z1 where Matt or Andi could nominate the starting station / time....... Or else I am more than happy to take you all on at darts again.....

[palkanetoijala31]

That was my suggestion meeting in Springbok pub.I have a suggestion for u if u do a zone 1 afterwards the starting station should be Earls Court.

I can't wait for Wednesday and having a crack at the Eggheads. Personally I would prefer to do something none tube related after the filming, besides we will probably have too much baggage with us anyway. I reckon either an evening of darts or maybe we can try and find another pub quiz somewhere? Also I'm now saving all my tube energy for the Olympics!!!

[Going Underground]

I am not a great fan of the bottle and the all lines is too intense...

I am liking the Earls Court Z1 or darts / quiz machine.....

How was I suppose to know the boxer when I was just 3 years old at the time!

Don't worry Steeevooo is our sports guru

[Steeevooo]

Is he?!

[palkanetoijala31]

i didnt get a general knowledge quiz i just got grilled on a referee course i did.

[Steeevooo]

I didn't get a quiz either, just a ten minute chat about this that and the other, but certainly no quiz questions were asked.

[Soup Dragon]

I think that Sam & Matt were asked the questions as they did not attend the auditions with us. Frankie called me yesterday as well and also chatted for about 10 minutes, apparently there are a few changes to the show, including a new host Jeremy Vine, but that is all Frankie was allowed to tell me.

[palkanetoijala31]

Well the day is here im exicited wish us luck its gonna be a blast.

At work, forgot photo ID. Well, I have loads of things with my name on, and my railcard has my photo but most likely isn't acceptable, even though you need to use a driving license/passport/birth certificate to get one.

So, do I go home first and get my driving licence? This will delay my arrival to probably just after 1pm (in the 1pm-1.30pm bracket), jeopardising the team's chances of being let in. Or do I go with what I've got, and risk being turned away, jeopardising the team's chances of being let in.

Hmm :S

give the production team a call, matt. i'm sure they won't be keen on cancelling the teams' appearance just because of a technicality. and since they wouldn't be able to call in another team at this short notice, they'd be wasting money wouldn't they?

anyways, the best of luck to the team! hope they're not as nervous as i would be right now in their position!

[Going Underground]

I'm bricking it and I'm not even going on screen. My railcard is sufficient if combined with a bank card. Excellent.

See you all there!

LOL you are not the only one...... who knows Matt see how the pre-show camera takes etc goes..... you may yet be on

Right I am heading off now.....gulp.......
