general/specific knowlege

[Laura]

Can I just join with Laura and point out that my only areas of expertise are rugby, radio and real ale. (And the real ale is only as a consumer) With a smattering of canals and classical music.
How about that then Scurra?

Do you know, I think between us, we could come up with a pretty amazing team to beat the egg-heads!!!! Anyone good at History, Politics and Geopgraphy?

I didn't join in this debate earlier (too busy googling.....!) but have to say I've quite enjoyed exploring new topics that I was ignorant about before. Cornwallis was a fascinating discovery, for example! I was dreading having to hunt and hunt for all those obscure pictures, but once I spotted the theme, it became real fun to try and backsolve them (well, didn't manage them all unaided... )
Mind you, I haven't tried Lord Vader yet! And of course, I have always thought I was a bit of an expert on the subject of Lord Lang - but that is proving of no benefit at all in solving it
As for the topic of preferred literature - it is perhaps worth noting that when Scurra was a mere lad, he got his hands on "Jane Eyre" and couldn't bear to put it down - he reckoned it was the best mystery story he'd ever read (no editing allowed!!)

Thanks all, this is just what I hoped would happen. A frank exchange of views.
Scurra, be assured that I think,we probably all do, that you've done a fantastic job. If it wasn't for you & Gill we would have nothing to take the place of DVP/RUNES and I for one very much appreciate it.
Personally I'd like less research, don't mind a bit,but I'd rather be puzzling than googling. Having said that different themes do require research. I personally prefer general knowlege, like the impressionists to films/music, probably coz I'm not good at them Its early days and I'm sure that you'll find the right balance.
Well done

Anything with tarot cards, Paddington Bear or national flags will be fine for me...
