Woodland is a refreshingly likeable variant on the overachieving quick-buzzer answer robot

Especially given the even-worse-than-usual gender split this year

Chuck_Tatum, Tuesday, 24 October 2017 13:39 (six years ago) link

Really like this Ulster team

Gary Synaesthesia (darraghmac), Monday, 30 October 2017 20:10 (six years ago) link

Questions are piss easy tho!

Gary Synaesthesia (darraghmac), Monday, 30 October 2017 20:13 (six years ago) link

OTM x2

Terry Micawber (Tom D.), Monday, 30 October 2017 20:17 (six years ago) link

Look I'm not saying that question set was a plant but....

Gary Synaesthesia (darraghmac), Monday, 30 October 2017 20:23 (six years ago) link

André Ryu (Neil S), Monday, 30 October 2017 20:27 (six years ago) link

How did they miss the German physicist/1905/photoelectric effect question?

jmm, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 13:58 (six years ago) link

too easy, self doubt

Monogo doesn't socialise (ledge), Tuesday, 31 October 2017 14:01 (six years ago) link

how did they miss that the second question after 'the lady's not for burning' would also include 'burning'? I don't (didn't) know what a present participle is and I still figured it out.

This jumping lad tho

Gary Synaesthesia (darraghmac), Monday, 6 November 2017 20:25 (six years ago) link

That was a bit of a thrashing. Serves them right for thinking Cardigan is in Scotland.

ailsa, Monday, 6 November 2017 21:02 (six years ago) link

Really impressive right hand side of a team alright

And jumpy guy

Gary Synaesthesia (darraghmac), Monday, 6 November 2017 21:03 (six years ago) link

I can't stand ostentatious conferrers

Number None, Monday, 6 November 2017 21:29 (six years ago) link

Bit dull this week

Mark G, Monday, 6 November 2017 22:27 (six years ago) link

Can someone explain to me the nominate

I mean it's not a thing is it

Yet some captains do it. Usually odious ones. Is it a hospital pass for answers they don't fancy?

Gary Synaesthesia (darraghmac), Monday, 6 November 2017 22:46 (six years ago) link

I think it's usually used for things they can't pronounce or are frightened they've misheard.

ailsa, Monday, 6 November 2017 22:53 (six years ago) link

yup

Number None, Monday, 6 November 2017 22:57 (six years ago) link

occasionally a celebrity they're too embarrassed to admit they've heard of

Number None, Monday, 6 November 2017 22:57 (six years ago) link

Lackspittle pass

Gary Synaesthesia (darraghmac), Monday, 6 November 2017 23:01 (six years ago) link

Ha, yeah "nominate Smith" "is it Harry Styles?"

*Paxo sneer* "yes, but why on earth would anyone know that?"

ailsa, Monday, 6 November 2017 23:12 (six years ago) link

*throws card down on desk*

ailsa, Monday, 6 November 2017 23:14 (six years ago) link

"Glauron, I believe."
"Nominate Trimble."
".....Glauron."

Glaurung, rather

Normally I'm sat there on a Monday night shouting artist names or Dickens characters at the screen as the teams struggle. Yesterday it was types of plastic, which made a nice change.

koogs, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 05:24 (six years ago) link

PVC! PVC!

Ah, back to those punk days..

Mark G, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 07:47 (six years ago) link

can't believe "From Socrates On Down" wasn't it

Number None, Monday, 20 November 2017 20:54 (six years ago) link

Haha, aye, that was good. Yet again, randomly-ish shouting "Delacroix" at a painting pays off for me though.

ailsa, Monday, 20 November 2017 21:25 (six years ago) link
