What would be your Mastermind specialist subject?

    So let's say Ireland finally decided to broadcast a knowledge based TV quiz show (long shot, I know...) and you had the chance to become Ireland's first Mastermind champion, what would your specialist subject be?


    For me, it would probably be the something to do with Jack The Ripper - I have all the case notes, documentaries, books etc - I reckon I could get a high enough score on that one. Or maybe American cinema of the 1970's... have loads of books on that subject too.

    What are the subjects that could see you take home that all important (and highly unlikely) Irish Mastermind trophy?

    Is 'Useless Information' a valid category?

    That's all covered in the general knowledge round. Fair few points to be had there too, though.....

    I spent many of my teenage years learning everything one needed to know about Tupac Shakur. It took the place of anything I was supposed to be learning in school so that would be my specialist subject!

    Trick question. On that day Keith, being a belligerent child, refused to eat his lunch. I've been watching you Keith :pac:

    Also, take your hand from under your chin.

    I'd be next to useless on a round about my own life.

    A good portion of my latter teenage years have been almost wiped clear from my memory.
