What would your "Specialist Subject" be?

    Was watching Mastermind a while back and when it came to the individual "Specialist Subject" rounds some of the subjects were fairly out there and quite baffling. But even more baffling was some of the contestants were able to answer nearly all the questions.

    Got me thinking though. What would my "Specialist Subject" be? Haven't a clue tbh.

    So what would yours be?

    I don't know. I know a little bit about alot of things rather then alot about one particular thing. I know alot about female monarchs and leaders but that would cover an awful lot of areas.

    So inkslinger, for the title of master mind champion 2010. Which should you opt for first, the easy pink or the tricky brown?:D

    The novels of Douglas Coupland.

    I'd be the same. I'd be great at general knowledge but I'd never be the guy that's picked for a pub quiz for a particular subject.

    It's hard to find a chick that likes sci fi. It's just one more reason why we're better than them!
