I remember coming home from college and telling the family you know they had showers and toilets in 2000-1500bc in crete, my granny had an out house in ballsbridge in the 1980's, their eyes used to glaze over

    Paint brush holding techniques for the specific task of applying paint where the wall meets the ceiling.

    My sub category would be the mental state to be in to achieve the above.

    Would probably do ok in the movies of Sean Connery.

    "Shocking, Miss Moneypenny"

    OK got one for you Chrongen? Name the 1973 film where Connery who plays a burned out detective who snaps when interrogating a suspected child molester. Its my favourite film with him anyways. :)

    Well i was always told never specialise as specialists are the 1st roles to go when "change" happens!
    In that vein, I could probably score 8 or better in a quite a few chosen topics.
    Granted a lot of those would be subsets of political, military, religious or economic history.
    Or technical such as Aviation, naval or military equipment and uses.
    Thats before we get into sports!

    Was actually watching it a few nights ago and 1 of the contestants had the American Civil war as their specialist topic and I handily outscored him!

    But real quizzing is "only connect" and "university challenge" ��

    I think it'd be handy to do well in the specialist subject round so long as you don't too wide a topic. Once I was l looking at Mastermind when I saw that the racehorse Arkle was somebody's specialist subject. I read it's Wikipedia entry in two or three minutes, and got 6 right. I know that's not brilliant but imagine if I had even done 2 hours research?

    Repeat threads on Boards.ie on what would be your specialist subject on Mastermind.

    "What was your pick when the thread subject resurfaced again towards the end of 2017?"
