Dear Orgers
Last night I sat down with my dinner of turkey breast with a cream sauce and chilli, ribbons of carrots (never had those before), oven chips made from sweet potato and a glass of wine (thanks to whoever in Lidl's recommended the bottle it was lovely) with the propspect of a night being entertained by the British Broadcasting Corporation.
Having had enough of the Winter Olympics coverage on BBC2 my attention was switched to BBC1 and Junior Mastermind. This is where my problem began.
At one point a little American girl was answering questions about the Harry Potter books. During her general knowledge round, in which she was doing stunningly well, I found myself getting more and more annoyed to the point where I was shouting "ask her questions on cricket" and laughing uncontrollably when she didn't know which Middle Eastern country has borders with Iraq and Afghanistan (Iran.)
I feel ashamed that I reacted so badly. Can anyone help? Is there a name for my affliction?
I am etc,
Tymey
