^ 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.

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

scored 115 pointsor 17 answers
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

Shut your face and get off the show, son, you don't say 'awright' to paxman

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.

Also, Paxo gave Manchester way too many benefits of the doubt.

On Challenge +1 you have just missed Zaphod Beeblebrox guy giving 'jizz' as an answer on a repeat of Pointless.

just caught the last seconds of that episode yesterday. I hate him so.

he's just this guy, y'know?

I've noticed they seem to have totally done away with the popular music questions on UC which is quite vexing. Hasn't been one in ages

^ Zaphod Beeblebrox dude on twitter. He seems quite alright, actually.

It's the same deal as UCL. They have these jokey conferring sessions that last forever (which get worse the further ahead they get) and Paxman totally indulges them.
― Number None, Tuesday, 6 March 2012 00:32 (fourteen years ago)
it's hard to judge how bad it is with quiz shows because those gaps are edited to suit the show pacing
― Mo Money Mo Johnston (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 6 March 2012 00:36 (fourteen years ago)
it's his face too tbh
― Number None, Tuesday, 6 March 2012 00:37 (fourteen years ago)
and his voice
I do sympathise w/ Jamie Karran, it's not that 'it's harder when you are up here' as most quizmasters say, but the temptation to get silly/daft can be huge...
― Mark G, Tuesday, 6 March 2012 00:38 (fourteen years ago)
he actually wasn't as bad compared to this dude. Still no pop music round as well
