When you find out you're doomed

Speaking as someone whose musical repertoire contains Wakko's 50 States and Capitals, I was caught out by the end segment of John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme, series 8 episode 3.

Have I had the ambition to learn all the capitals of European countries? Not previously, but I know my weaknesses.

Dammit, Mr Finnemore.

I have avoided learning Yakko's World and Tom Lehrer's Elements because they were both out of date by the time that was practical for my life. I know the former's been updated, but the latter not so much, last I knew.
