Ever since I discovered the addictive telly show and my talent for memorising random trivia, a dream of mine has been to ultise my sponge-like brain to appear on the ultimate quiz show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. The random information stored in my brain hasn't been much use so far so if I can use it to win money, why not? So imagine my excitement in the weekend to see they're recruiting contestants for an NZ version. I hurriedly applied online and sat back, waiting for the call and dreaming of sitting in that chair and telling Eddie to "Lock it in!".
It hadn't really occurred to me that working for the very television channel intending to screen the programme might make me ineligable to go on the show. Suffice to say after checking company policy, I am not allowed to participate in quiz shows screened by the State Broadcaster, ie my employers.
So there goes one of my dreams in a puff of smoke. Perhaps I need to start looking for a new job. Here's hoping the show lasts long enough....
And for anyone who wants to live the dream for me - the link is here and the keyword is millionaire. Feel free to donate a portion of your winings to the poor state broadcasting employee who can only watch from the sidelines....ie me.
