University Challenge

[nbc@inf.rl.ac.uk (Neil Calton)]

Watching University Challenge on BBC TV last night I noticed
one of the contestants for Warwick University was a certain
Steve Thomas. Was this the same person as the Lovehounds'
luminary who has often frequented this forum? Steve if you
are still around - let us know. I have a feeling that we might even
have met at a Convention but I am terrible at remembering faces.

If it was "our" Steve, what was amazing was that there was a question
involving Kate Bush viz. having to name the month featured in
3 pieces of music: one of which was December Will Be Magic Again.
And this was indeed answered correctly by Thomas of Warwick.
Judging by his reaction on hearing the first chords of this tune
I can only assume it was Lovehound Steve. This is the first time I
can recall Kate being featured on the programme, which only adds
to the coincidence (unless the programmes are rigged!).
