Some years ago in a pub quiz we were convinced that we had all the questions correct but were told we had one wrong.
The particular question was; Who wrote Three men in a Boat.
Unfortunately I had a brainstorm, somewhat distracted by the tightly jeaned lady at the next table who seemed to be pleasuring herself against the table leg.
I wrote Kerome J Kerome !!!

Amazingly enough, the house he lived in is only three miles away from where I live. There’s a blue plaque there too. That’s Jerome K Jerome. Fuck knows where Kerome lived.

Nice image and brain freeze, VV. :) Was it before you could have pulled the dyslexia card?

Three Men In A Boat ... I'm sure it was side-splittingly funny in 18 fucking 83 or whatever, but not at any time since.

No dyslexia.
It was diagnosed as sexlexia.

Anyone seen Jon Snow's Most Difficult Quiz or whatever it's called. What a load of wank. I like quiz shows but this is so fucking slow. They ask a hard question but give the option of having loads of clues and the team end up not risking answering for fear of losing a point, and the whole process of getting through ONE question takes THREE minutes. Tedious, I won't be watching that again.

This is funny. Billy Butler doing a radio phone-in quiz with a very thick woman.

Best ever easy question was on some daytime shit decades ago (yet I still recall Ross King was the presenter).

It was: Which famous actor's mother was born in Calcutta, India, and he spent many holidays there as a child?

And I thought 'Ooh, that's strangely difficult for a shit phone-in quiz'

And then Ross King said 'I'll give you a little clue - he played The Saint and James Bond'.

I mean...

Top Moore-o, Endo.

Ross King was a fantastically Orange, double breasted, cream suited, paisley tie type of daytime wanker back in t’ glory days.

Roger Moore remains all that’s great and good about a Bond. PEGASUS.

Billy Butler programme on Radio Merseyside. Always good for a laugh.

Billy: Which famous Hollywood actor’s real name was Marion Morrison?
Caller: I don’t know Billy. Give us a clue.
Billy: [in a strong American drawl] The hell I will.
Caller: Oh, come on Billy, don’t be mean.

As was Greater Manchester Radio. Sunday morning phone in quiz.
Question: In which city in Italy would you find the Leaning Tower of Pisa?
Caller: is it Rome?

A regular question on Greater Manchester Radio Sunday morning phone in quiz, used to be.
"How long should a chicken last in a freezer"
Usual answer was 'about a month or two.'
Presenter; "That's odd. We put one in last night and it was dead this morning."
Every week someone fell for it.

Was this the worst ever quiz show aired on British tv?

Maybe 20 years ago when Tarrant and Carla did the Capital breakfast show they did the Letter Getter game.
The same contestant each day, a letter at random and then 30 seconds to answer questions where the answer would begin with the that day's letter.
By the Friday if someone had accumulated enough points they could win a hefty cash prize.
In our office we listened each day to one guy who was heading for the chance of a jackpot on the Friday.
That morning several of us sat in one car outside the office listening to how he would do.
Tarrant " Your letter today is L"
Guy: "OK"
Tarrant "Start the clock"...a citrus fruit "Lemon"...a young sheep "Lamb"...an expensive Italian car "err..Lamborghini"...the most common name of kings of France....err,err, silence..." Is it Trevor, Chris?"....they had to play a track because I suspect the whole studio was in hysterics...
Listen to Talksport and let it be a lesson to you
