A reward for female intelligence

[User482]

You'd be irritated because she'd be telling you that you're wrong. All the time.

I'm used to that. Mrs User482 went to Oxford...

 

[sheddy]

Too right.
You don't want some smart arse bird arguing with you after you told her that she can't get pregnant if you do it standing up.

Her name is Trimble - not Tremble !

errrmmmmmm a quick search on Google Image tells me you have a very strange taste in women Patrick. Miss Trimble is about as good looking as a used tea bag.

After you've seen a heavily tattoed 24st Rhyl woman, you wouldn't be so fussy.

I thought the guy from Manc. - Leo the 'pussy' would be a perfect match for her as he was busy waving his brain around for the first fifteen minutes. Imagine them breeding a team of 'Challengers'...20 years time they'll be thrashing some dusty college 600 - 0...

she annoyed me on radio 4 this morning, momentarily, because she comes across as posh. but then, when you get to know a posh person, they're mostly OK.

I have nothing but admiration for someone with that amount of knowledge who can apply it under pressure like that.

Does this explain why you're so argumentative here?

 

[ChrisKH]

Reading through her graduate profile, I suspect that no one here would measure up. In her eyes.

The odds of winning an argument here are more favourable.

last night's final was spectacular stuff. Manchester started brightly, took a fifty point lead, which Gail's team slowly whittled back. Nobody stood out. Then, five minutes from the end, the Trimble afterburners ignited. Poor Paxo could hardly get the first two words of the question out, before the blessed Gail was in there, shy smile fronting a mind like a steel trap. 100 points racked up in seconds. Manchester just sat there like goldfish - mouths opening soundlessly.

I suspect that there is something in Patrick that rather likes the idea of being dominated intellectually. He's always rather cowed the theclaud's thunderbolts. Minor public school? English teacher? Detention after lessons?

Who's this Claire?

whoops! Just shows how taken I was with the shy smile.

She's played you like a violin.

. He's always rather cowed the theclaud's thunderbolts.

Nice of you to say so, but I don't think I cow her too much. I hope she's not put out by it. Should I go a bit easier on her?

 

[Arch]

Of course, if she was a bloke we wouldn’t be having this conversation. He would just be the annoying speccy freak who no-one fancied and no-one wanted to go for a pint with. Trimble is getting a rather better deal I suspect…

Actually, you could be spot on.

When I was on UC, we got to the second round and then were knocked out by Balliol. And the reason we lost was that Balliol had this one chap who pretty much got all their questions. And not only that, he had the confidence to buzz right away and know that he'd have remembered the answer by the time the voice said "Smith, Balliol", so he was really quick to buzz.

Afterwards, one of their team was talking to us in the Green Room, and said, not to worry about losing, this chap was unbeatable. He apparently sat and read dictionaries and encyclopedias in the Union Bar, and all the rest of the team reckoned he was a total geek, with no friends.

I haven't been watching the series, but from what I've seen in the news, she seems like a nice enough girl who happens to have a good memory for trivia - I have heard her say, it's all about recalling facts, rather than actual intelligence (which she no doubt has as well). I can't comment on her fanciability, but she seemed nice enough looking too.

BTW, the chap who arranged the selection of our team, and who I think was in it for his CV (he was doing Meeja), was overheard to say of us, in a dismissive tone "oh, they're ok, but they are a bunch of knowitalls.". Which I kind of thought was the point....

She also rides a bike , or at least poses in front of one (today's e-metro and probably elsewhere) , which fact alone must make her rather fanciable
