Chantelle had never heard of dressage. On now.
Well blow me…:shock:
Not only did they pick Kevin and knocked him out on Sport, they went on to win six grand…Mind you, they were from Yorkshire…
Saw that
Ah, they were cheating.
Wash yer mouth out…
Tipping Point

A. The S.A.S
Q. ‘The Union Cycliste Nationale is a union representing which sport?’
A. ‘Football’.
Tipping Point tonight. 2 contestants. Both in their twenties. Question for the first one, “Which TV comedy series shows the now famous “Chandelier” scene?” err, I don’t know that one so I will pass to Carol. Carol, sorry, I don’t know the answer to that one either. OMG. Fancy not knowing that one!!
Another which made me laugh:
Which puzzle did the top brass, during the second world war, use to recruit people to break codes? Answers were Crossword Puzzles, Sudoku or Wordsearch. Yep, you guessed it. His answer - Sudoku
DOH.
Don’t you just love em’ Longdogs …
I’m sorry SG I didn’t know the answer to the first one either…
The bloke on the Chase was brilliant tonight, the only one who got through to the final with forty odd thousand and scored 19, he even bagged some pushbacks. I was sad when he lost out to the Beast…:-(…I bet he was from Yorkshire…
I can picture them all doing sudoko during the war.
I’ve watched Tipping Point, but only a couple of times. Sadly, I haven’t heard any real howlers first hand, but the ones posted on here are brilliant.
Perhaps I should make watching the programme a regular routine.
Even better, if they ever did an ‘out-take’ series!
The contestant was only a kid,if history is not taught this day and age,general knowledge will be lacking.
You sometimes get them on University Challenge. Ask the students about anything about the eighties whether it be history
or music for example, they haven’t a clue.
Aye, in Japan where it was developed.
I have noticed that and sometimes the chasers don’t know the simplest questions such as 'what is half of a half?. Sean seems to struggle most with this type of question despite being a barrister.
One of my greatest moments on University Challenge was when I beat the lot of them to a very difficult question. None of them knew it. Even after conferring for a few minutes, no one knew the answer, they were all looking blank and then I said it…
…‘Clumping Litter.’
Most of them couldn’t even wire a plug up…
They wouldn’t have to, they’d get some pleb of an electrician to do it for them.
Tis true. They could do it in theory but not in practice.
Show me a man who could quote the works of Ovid ad lib
And stand him beside a man who can wire a plug
…I know which one I’d be walking out with!
Where’s me wire strippers…
