As I said on Britarch my pristine soul has been sold already ... though some might say that happened already.. :face-huh:

[Digger]

So... has Mr Hosty had his telephone interview yet???
Inquiring minds wish to know.

[BAJR Host]

Had the tele interview... I suspect that will be as far as I get... after all they don't want to jsut give away the prize to such a towering intellect, ruggedly handsome, warroir lover poet, adventurer like me do they!!?

:face-huh:

ah... delusions...

I had already spent the prize on a Kenyan orphanage (Joyworld) a bit more for the Georgian Museum, some help for YACs and a community project (or 2 in East Lothian) oh... and funding the Digger to be a bigger glossier publication... ah well.... their loss!

I suppose only time will tell... has anyone else gone for it??

Another day another WSI?

[Digger]

Waiting on the call, supposedly today sometime..

[Digger]

What exactly is the prize Hosty?

[BAJR Host]

all they say is substantial... :face-huh:

Another day another WSI?

[Digger]

To ann archaeologist, that could be a weeks supply of alcohol and a carton of cigarettes.

[Pipeliner]

Had the call back and the phone interview.....have now sent in some photos to them.....

But like Mr Hosty, I am not holding out .......

However, they did ask if I was available for further interviews within the next couple of weeks....has anyone been contacted to go on to these interviews?

Meanwhile, some more info from Yahoo news:

Television and radio presenter Jamie Theakston is fronting a new Channel 4 show in which contestants will go on a global hunt for secret gems.

The seven-part series, provisionally called The Search, will see 10 competitors attempt to win seven prizes of buried jewels by unravelling complicated codes and solving ancient mysteries.

The 35-year-old presenter will travel around the world with the group, visiting Italy, Mexico, Egypt, India and Peru among others in their mission.

One unlucky contestant will be eliminated each week.

A show insider said: "The modern day Indiana Jones will be searching for seven symbols, which will give clues about where seven pots of treasure hidden in the UK.

"As the clues are revealed, viewers at home will also be able to join in and get their spades out as they try and dig up the booty."

This will give viewers the chance to bag it, before the adventurers return.

Theakston's new production company Ten Ton Productions will co-produce treasure search show with Princess Productions.

The series is due to air next year.


Looks like there is still chance for me and Mr Hosty to get our hands on the treasure, even if we dont make the show!!!!!
Get your shovel ready Mr Hosty !!!!!!
