It's a recorded event TSS. He's on at 5
Yes, I knew that from yesterday's info. I won't be around to listen unfortunately.
IT WAS REALLY HARD!!!!
Only had five questions, and the only music one was a classical composer one. The question I made a right pigs ear of was what colour that is in both the Irish and Indian flag is a sacred colour for Hindis. I panicked and went for green (as did Matt) and the answer is orange. Other than that....
What was the year of the first FA Cup final to be held at Wembley - I went 1926, and it was 1923 - so y'know, not appalling.

My head is exploding. I accept that young kids can't pronounce Nike correctly, but Sky has mispronounced it six times in a couple of minutes. The company is named after the goddess of victory and is pronounced Nikie for heaven's sake. It's only in Britain that we can't seem to get this right

I pronounce it Nikie/Nikey when I have to say it at all, for the reason you give above. But let's not go down the correct pronunciation road again otherwise some of us will be here until the wee small hours.
Really trying to to see the positive side of this but my intestines refuse to stop turning over. I know it is irrational [hey, it's just yeast after all] but there it is.
Having now investigated the Nike pronouncing phenomenon thoroughly:
I say Nike (cos I'm British)
The chairman of Nike says it's pronounced Nikey (as in rhymes with Spiky)
The Goddess is pronounced nee-kee
