not sure what mine would be, but the other day one chap had chosen "British Railway Disasters 1830-1939".

He'd make a good drinking buddy.

When you think about it, you'd be unwise to choose a subject that everybody sees as 'your area', and therefore expects you to do well in. For example if you're a soccer player for Manchester United, then don't choose The History of the Premier League.

Thing is that if you did OK in that subject, then people would just say "Well, he is supposed to be an expert in that field, after all."; whereas if you do badly, then you just end up looking like a complete berk.

I remember 3 or 4 years ago Michel Roux Junior appearing on the Christmas celebrities edition of Mastermind, & his specialist subject was something like The History of French Cooking.

He suffered a blank mind and bombed totally, scoring about 3 points in that round.

I seem to remember Murry Walker doing rather badly on the subject of F1.
