Hi Ben (and any others who happen to be hanging around - I was one of the dozen or so watching you on the livestream a moment ago).

In terms of substantive questions: what are your nightmare and dream categories? Please feel free to be as weirdly specific as you like.

I am not a particularly seasoned quizzer, but frankly, any time anything on art comes up, I go and make a cup of tea and come back when it's over. I remain hopeful for questions on the use of swearing in The Thick of It and the descant lines of Christmas carols, but neither has happened yet. (Someday. Someday.)

In less specific questions, have you seen the British show Only Connect? Because you should really watch Only Connect.

Where's the best place to start if you're trying to become a better quizzer? I've identified some categories (monarchs, presidents, flags, rivers/mountains, Shakespeare), but is there anything that most people don't tend to think of?

And is there anything that proves more useful on The Chase than other quizzes? You certainly seem to get a lot of questions about obscure and obscenely named villages...
