I'm getting a moderate amount of traffic relating to my posts on Gail Trimble. Moderate but significant, and with spikes every time she appears on TV. I expect another blaze of hits tomorrow when she appears in the final. Good luck to her with that. I have a terrible fear when it comes things like this though, I'm always worried that a winning streak will come to a spectacular meltdown just at the most critical moment. I'll be watching anyway, on that expensive super-deluxe model TV I mentioned that I own.
Just a few moments ago I read an article written on the Guardian website, about Gail Trimble and the final tomorrow. The writer wonders if Gail Trimble is the smartest contestant on University Challenge ever, and goes on to describe the buzz she has created across blogs and the internet in general. My posts have the second highest page rank in Google search results, but do I get a mention? No. Does this blog get a mention? No. Is there even a quote lifted from here? Not even a string of similar words! I'm not surprised, I never seem to get a mention with these things. I could put up a cure for AIDS on this blog and it wouldn't even get noticed. And you know what... I wouldn't change a thing, because I'm odd like that.

Funny enough I was reading the Guardian article and wondered what she looked like - hence the google image trip here.
If you get a nudie snap of her, you'll have had this blog made!
Well thanks for stopping by and letting me know :)
Ironically, I feel that if I had some spent time to get decent vid captures and not just crappy photographs of a TV screen I probably wouldn't have gotten any interest whatsoever.
Nice TV.
That's not my TV obviously, it's far too luxurious to be mine. That has a black and white picture while mine only has black. What can I say, it makes watching football matches very interesting.
Never mind mate -- I don't know who you are, but your blog came top of the Google results when I searched for "trimble university challenge"!
I'm a fan of Miss Trimble, too. She's clearly exceptionally bright, which I find appealing, and although not strikingly beautiful in the conventional sense, there's something about her that causes a distinct stirring in the loins.
Looking forward to her performance in the final tonight, and feeling sorry for Manchester already.
Oh yeah and Gamma? Looked like a problem at first but WHAT an ending. She was like a rabbit in the headlights to start but hell, did she wake up!
dammit! added to the 'ooo what does she look like....' fly trap of google sending people here... ;-)
Dogbert: yeah it certainly was amazing at the end! Like a middle distance runner sprinting for the line :)
Anon: Flytrap? Nonsense! It's more of a quagmire really :)
