I was DELIGHTED to see a newspaper listing describe last week's episode of Only Connect as "two teams battling to make the third place play-off".
The last opportunity to qualify for that key match is TONIGHT AT 8pm on BBC Two. (And whichever team doesn't make it will be in the final).

I have the fortune / misfortune of sharing my name with an American politician. Every now and then I had to point out on the other place that I wasn't him. Looks like I have to do that here as well
