Is anyone watching?

BBC One, "Test the nation"? It's absolute bull. They call it an IQ test, and whilst the theory of IQ tests is flawed at the BEST of times, they include a memory section in their "IQ" test. Memory has NOTHING to do with intelligence. The questions they are asking are fundamentally flawed in almost every section.

It's utter pap. I found myself shouting at the TV with nearly every question.

I have to admit that,although I did get all funny about my score, some of it pissed me off. I mean those bloody idioms - knowing them doesnt make you intelligent, it just means that you're a part of a specific culture!
