I get some amusement from the bad answers which get handed in at the quiz.
Here’s a roundup of some recent gems:
1. Mysterious New Lands
Almania and Alberia sound like great places to visit. If only they existed…
2. Brian Giggs
This was a question about Sports Personality of The Year winners. There is a real Brian Giggs but he does cabarets and cruise ships, rather than wing-wizardry and shagging his brother’s wife.
3. Shakespeare Limited
This question asked teams to name five Shakespeare tragedies, a question to which they responded magnificently at first, before running dry roundabout answer 4:
4. German Surnames
Again this team started this question well, which asked for any 5 of the top 10 surnames in Germany. I never got the chance to ask them but I would love to know where they got their last answer from…
5. Faint Insult
If you’re going to diss the orginal Prince of Paedo Pop, I’m sure you’d want to find something stornger than ‘bell-end’
6. Clue(less)do
Another fine start to a list round, marred by shit memory of elusive character names that definitely include a colour…
… but probably not the words shite, twat and cunt.
7. Fact versus Fiction
Question three in this same-letter round asked for the fictional character whose diary was the top selling book in Britain in the 1980s.
For the record: Adrian Mole was made-up but Anne Frank was REAL.
8. Easy Mistake
With Australia competing in Eurovision these days, it’s easy to get Tasmania mixed up with Bulgaria.
