I'm back
I was the first one to win 'fastest finger first' by putting the parts of a wine bottle in order from top to bottom (Lip, Neck, Shoulder, Base) in 3.04 seconds!!!
First thing I should point out is that sadly Chris Tarrants dad died last week so thay cancelled some of the shows. That means that the broadcast date has changed for my show.
It will now be broadcast on the 16th April
I mentioned DarkBASIC but the bastards cut it out! I went a little something like this:
Chris: So, Craig you only have 12 months left in the RAF, what are you going to do when you leave?
Me: I am hoping to take a course in C#.NET because programming is my passion but I need about £5000 to pay for it ... maybe you can help?
Chris: You say programming is your passion but you need a course to learn to do it ... so, how do you know you will like it?
Me: I have written a few games using DarkBASIC Professional it's a great tool for anyone that wants to learn programming because it is so easy to get into but unfortunately it's not an industry standard. That's why I need the C#.NET course.
Floor Manager: OK, we need to stop there. Craig, we prefer you not to mention any product names. We can let it go sometimes but that sounded like an advert. Can we go from the intro again please Chris? I like the fact that you need money for the course, that's good, emphasise that this time.
I tried
I suppose you want to know how I got on?
The rule is that I can only tell my closest friends and family how much I won. The thing is, I like to think that we are all close friends here. Not only that but this community is like one big happy family. So, I suppose i can tell you
I won £8000
It was tough, I got some real stinky questions. The guy after me got £125,000 but he said to me if he'd had my questions then he would have only taken £8000 aswell!
I got to £2000 without using any lifelines and I honestly can't remember the question up to then but I remember the ones that I need lifelines for.
For £4000
Which actress has Jude Law just announced his engagement to?
I can't remember the four answers and I can't even remember the correct answer. I asked the audience and got a 78% favourite ... I went with it and got it right.
For £8000
Which Latin phrase translates to English as 'come with me'
Again I can't remember the four answers or the correct one. I phoned my brother-in-law he said it was definately not the first two but couldn't say which of the last two it was. So, I used 50/50 and was left with the first answer and the last. I went with the last answer and got it right.
For £16000
Which country does famous shoe designer Manola Blahnik come from?
The four options were:
Tunisia Greece
Lebanon Spain
I had no idea. I had already used my lifelines so I took the money.
The actual answer for those that are interested is
I went with nothing. I had two days in London free of charge and came home with £8000. I'm happy
The cheque is post dated to the 16th April though, so, I can't spend it until the day it airs
If you watch the show and want to look really clever in front of your wife/girlfriend or whoever, then when the guy after me is going for £250,000 and he gets the question:
Nam Co in Tibet is what kind of geographical Feature?
Lake Mountain
Gorge Peninnsula
Then tell her/him that the answer is
and feel proud of yourself for getting to £250,000
