How about “Which country has a gold coin featuring a maple leaf on it?”

Budapest, apparently.

Known for it.

Fucking hell MES on eggheads, it's like a parallel universe where Dave didn't break his leg ;)

Or I was bald.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Known for it.

It’s the capital of George Ezra isn’t it?

 

[Magicpole]

Pointless today...
Had anagrams of world leaders names, one of which was Jimmy Carter.
'Is it Jimmy Carret?'

Sounds like an Irish Gangster.

It is. I think they are making his haircut mandatory.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

It is. I think they are making his haircut mandatory.

Think I’ll have to visit via Turkey.

:-(

His dog has got more sense than him. It's a good job he was a footballer then a manager as I'm not sure what other job he could have done

Not a quizzer. I think we can agree on that.

I suppose if you haven't watched a y of the film's you wouldn't know. The thing is Rambo and first blood was so huge that surely he must have read or see it somewhere even if he didn't watch the film's.

I watched a repeat of The Chase last week from about 10 years ago. The team lost with about 12 seconds to go. They missed out on 2 pushbacks because the nominated captain couldn't say the answer correctly or misheard what the person on the team who knew the answer was telling him. If you are the captain and playing for £10,000 each just nominate the fucking person who knows the answer to give it, like I have seen some teams do in the past. Why throw the amount of money away just because you can't pronounce something correctly.

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Just watched the show to win a place on who wants to be a millionaire.....

One bloke hastily jumped in early to a question and got it wrong....

Q. Stan and Ollie were the........
A. (Slight pause) The Wright Brothers

And now onto Tipping Point

Q. How many countries border Belguim?
3 4 or 5

Contestant thinking out aloud says "Belguim doesn't have a coastline so must be a few...." and says 5.
(Answer was 4)

Scouser just been asked the latin name of the constellation that appears on the Australian flag.

Got the answer wrong and said “I am not much of an astrologer” thick twat.

 

[give it to gordon]

What's the point of having a quiz show to go onto another quiz show ?

Win fastest finger first to win a place on who wants to be a millionaire

 

[Xhavenjoe]

And now onto Tipping Point

Saw small bits of 2 different tipping point shows today.
First one
Name the only state in USA beginning With a D.

First lad couldn't make his mind up between Dallas and Denver.
Asked the other contestant and he said he thought it was Detroit.
When presenter told them it was Delaware both looked totally bemused.

Even worse was this evenings version when a young man was asked what county in England begins with a K, he hadn't a clue.

Back in the day, didn’t they have to ring a premium rate number to apply to go on? People spent loads getting on the show.

Probably made the show a fortune.

Astrology is horoscopes

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Yeah, that’s a tough question. It’s the southern cross is it? If so, it’ll be something like Australis Crux, if my Latin GCSE from 25 years ago did me any good.

I thought that was the full name of The Jetsons dog!

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

The answer was crux.
Can't recall what the other 2 options where as I said crux as soon as the answers came out.
He went for glory and £59,000 and got his first question wrong too so was knocked out. Can't recall his first question but he got it woefully wrong
