Mar. 1st, 2010 10:11 pmOh this week Jeremy Paxman suddenly knows how to pronounce Don Quixote. About time too. I loathe his smugness when people get questions wrong. He’s got the answers in his hand. I’d like to see him on a team.
Question: After Miranda’s declaration “Oh Brave New World that has such people in it” which is her father’s response.
Me: Whatever.
Answer: It is new to you.

I got many right. Am smug.

Jeremy: "I don't think so."
Person 2: Yeah, he's right.
Jeremy: Whatever. [Goes off to look it up.]
