I thought that team had kind of an annoying style of conferring
― Number None, Tuesday, 6 September 2011 12:27 (fourteen years ago)
was he a goth? i thought it was some sort of Brian May wannabe toolishness.

I assumed it was a Fat Bob-esque hairstyle, with a weird goth-y cyber punk necklace thing too.
― Neil S, Tuesday, 6 September 2011 12:30 (fourteen years ago)
he was a wanker, even had he dressed as marilyn he'd have been a dick who ignored the right answers offered by his team in order to give a showy wrong one.
There was a dude on the other team who didn't actually say a word all night, not even to his team. I liked him.

Paxo said the captain was chosen by "who had the best hair", so something weird was going on.

xp Dinosaur round was hilarious. I would have nailed that aged eight.

there were no velociraptors when i was eight, they were retconned in the 80s

Ha, that's true - a Jurassic Park round.

Indeed, I'd never heard of them till the 80s

^ just realised what a weird thing that is to say to a parrot, budgie, cockatoo, w/e
Parrots are the least attractive of all avians.
― Neil S, Tuesday, 6 September 2011 12:57 (fourteen years ago)
you don't say it to a parrot a parrot says it to you!
― conrad, Tuesday, 6 September 2011 12:58 (fourteen years ago)
You have to say it to the parrot first tho

I knew someone who had a parrot who used to squawk "Say Hello", because everyone used to go up to it and shout "Say Hello!"
― Mark G, Tuesday, 6 September 2011 13:07 (fourteen years ago)
was watching some old QI the other night and they reckoned that parrots have never been observed imitating sounds or movements in the wild, its only a behaviour in captive birds. Sinister.
― placeholder for weak pun (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 6 September 2011 13:11 (fourteen years ago)
remember some prog with footage of some birds in the wild doing the sound of trees falling down and stuff and then after they'd been filming them for a while they would do the camera autofocus sound too

though I can't tell you what the scientific alphabet equivalent of the words asparagus or bananas are.
― the pinefox, Monday, 12 September 2011 19:37 (fourteen years ago)
that round was easy but unfair to the other team. took far too long stitching together the answers for 9 and 10 letter veg . if I was on the other team I'd be raging

Just catching up on this week's episode and I really want those smug fucks from UCL to be eliminated. Their endless, chortling conferring sessions are really, really annoying. They're getting one more chance thanks to whatever the hell the qualifying system is now though.
