Reminds me of a story from the early days of the lottery
Some woman thought it would be a bit of a laugh to buy a ticket with the previous weeks winning numbers on it and give it to her partner
she had already recorded the previous saturday's draw and re-played it on the telly whilst hubby was sitting watching with the ticket in his hand gradually getting more and more excited as his numbers came in
I'm sure everyone had a good laugh at that jolly wheeze ;)

I remember that story but I think it was the other way around gender wise. The woman was having a bath so he set up the recoding just in time for her to watch. I dare say other dick heads have copied this since, I'd never do that, it's borderline evil.
 
Many years ago doing our regular pub quiz we had the hilarious task of marking the answers for one of most intellectually challenged teams ever.

The one that's stands out

What is a jalapeño

Answer

A White Horse

In the early days of the lottery i worked in a kitchen and we had radio 1 on for the lottery results. Our head chef organised the syndicate for people at the restaurant and worked front of house and asked me to write the results down when they came on so he could check them later when having a pint. I found his little folder with all the tickets in, picked a random line and wrote the numbers down jumbled up. Gave him the numbers and left him to it. Later on in the bar i thought i'd killed him. He went pale, started re checking, then started to look around in disbelief. Only when he saw me laughing did he realise and safe to say i had to run fast.

I did feel guilty to be honest, but working in a kitchen in those days was like a warzone for setting people up and taking the piss, plus he was a rag.

Same pub, another night.

A mate of ours Jamie, was sat with his family doing the quiz, he was known to everyone as Jam and he was overweight.

Question, "what do they call Jam in America"

My mate in our team shouts out

"a fat bastard like they do over here"

Jam's mother was mortified, he's not fat anymore
 
I as at a pub quiz many years ago and I kicked of big time the question was

Name the 5 ( might have been 6 ) same city derbys.
Answer scouseland, Bristol, Glasgow, Nottingham and Manchester. ( I think )

I went mad as I didnt put Manchester as utd arent in Manchester and if you are using Greater Manchester dont forget City v Bolton, Oldham, Bury, Stockport etc. In the end the question was null n void.
The best part was the plastic rags there were arguing that the rags were in Manchester lol.
 
Remember a quiz on a radio station a while ago

The question was about famous sporting commentators. The answer was Murray Walker but the female contestant was stumped. They gave her a clue... you can suck it (Murray mints)

Answer... Dickie Davies
 
A friend of mine & his mate applied for Pointless a few years ago. They were sent a 50m odd page questionnaire with quiz questions and also personal pyscho semetric questions. After completing the forms and then attending an interview they received e-mails basically telling them they were too intelligent to go on it.

Risking a "whoosh" here, but fuck it. Was London excluded from eligible answers?
