The TV Quiz Show Thread

The Eye do a 'Dumb Britain". The best I ever heard was the guy on Dale Winton's In it to win it' slot. The question was 'Where is the Algarve?' He said, "I know this, I was there a fortnight ago. It's Spain'! FM with a raw carrot!
Costa De La Luz is known as the Spanish Algarve so quite possibly had been there.

At a pub quiz we were marking the card of some itinerants who were Student Types, first question, “what’s a jalapeño?”, answer was “a white horse”, we were like hyenas marking their answers, thick as fuck.

Anne Heggarty and Trmendous Knowledge Dave come to my local now and again playing away in the Quiz League. Dave is ok to be fair, he does like a good drink but that Anne, what a miserable fucker she is.

Jeez, he'd have to improve a hundred fold on his tv persona. He comes across as a fucking smug bastard and so well fitted to Rag support.
 
When you were young didn’t you know anything about the world and it’s major events? I know stuff about the black death, the English civil war, the history of my country, I wasn’t there, but I was brought up to be interested in where we came from. To try and understand what was going on. It seems now that this is a thing of the past and as long as you know trivia about who you like us acceptable.

They say youth will be our saviour. Well I hope so too, but if they aren’t interested in the world what chance is there of that happening?

I don’t think ignorance is a thing to be celebrated. No matter what age you are. Dumbing down helps keep us down. I despair how people don’t care to know what’s going on. Or what went on to lead us to where we are. I think that’s dangerous.

But again, the point was not being stupid or ignorant, it was going on a show that exposes that. That I cannot understand. If the quiz was about pop culture and the Karadashians type thing, she may well have won it. But, the show isn’t about that. I get the same feeling when adults tell you with pride they never read books. As if that’s something to be proud of. They don’t care about politics etc. These people are easily manipulated and we are seeing the fruits of that ignorance and manipulation all over the world today. I don’t think it’s healthy.

When we were young we FOCs from CBL3 went to the local library, got out a couple of books about the world and things, read 'em, took 'em back and got a couple more, instead of pissing about in front of a computer zapping zombies!

He’s honestly well liked and very polite, the landlady thinks he’s great. As soon as someone says they are a Rag I take an instant dislike to them but sometimes they prove you wrong (but not often).
