Thoughts, Kint?Hi - hope all is well with you both. Just messaging you both as I know you both said you were interested in being on Only Connect in the past. I've had an email from one of the producers - they're currently looking for teams for the next season they're filming and they're asking for any recommendations. I know they're partial to teams recommended by previous contestants so if either of you are going to enter a team for next season, let me know and i'll send them an email telling them how wonderful you are. Best,Sam
Sounds good to me, mother. You still up for a shot at glory?
Now, while you, Pru and I didn't disgrace ourselves, and made a good attempt at arguing that at least one of us was born a middle-aged conservative, I just don't think that formula is going to cut it.
I think you think like they do (a frightening thought) and you need at least one older head (by at least 20 years, preferably more) alongside you.
On that basis, I would sub out either me or Pru and drop someone like LLS or Bobo in, if they were up for having a go and making the time.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.
