rebness: (Fantastische)


I am not making this up.

The Family Becky and I were watching that hella annoying quiz show Eggheads, and it totally isn't because dad and I have to compete at every general knowledge quiz, ever. Anyway, my brother's fiancée was there and it was the silly history round.

Host: Austrian archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in which European city? Prague, Sarajevo or Vienna?
Mum: Oh, I know this!
Becky: Sarajevo!
Dad: Sarajevo!
Elderly contestant: I think it was Sarajevo.
Brother's fiancée: How does she know anything about Franz Ferdinand? She's really old.

In her defence, if they would ever teach British schoolchildren anything in history other than World War II, Guy Fawkes and Elizabeth the bleedin' first, we wouldn't get this kind of situation. Still, the moment released some endorphins when it turned my thoughts to the November concert...
