Not enough bullying in the world for this Powell cunt

Saoirse birther (darraghmac), Monday, 18 January 2016 21:24 (ten years ago)

I secretly enjoyed Paxo mocking Woods' whining "oh I don't know" stance (though it was a little mean).

ailsa, Monday, 18 January 2016 23:02 (ten years ago)

She was overperforming it a wee bit tbf but y

Saoirse birther (darraghmac), Monday, 18 January 2016 23:05 (ten years ago)

Lambda, who doesn't know that wavelength is lambda. Idiots, blew it.

Be still my beating heart

broderick f (darraghmac), Monday, 8 February 2016 20:03 (ten years ago)

I generally prefer my UC crush objects to get a little more involved, but yeah

Ah God this guy is just appalling appalling

Can u imagine the awful people that have to procreate for generations to produce less like that

Which one?

Mark G, Monday, 22 February 2016 20:28 (ten years ago)

Ah cmon

Woods killed it tonight

Soon all logins will look like this (darraghmac), Monday, 22 February 2016 20:30 (ten years ago)

How the hell did he (the appalling one) know the tag line for The Fly?

ledge, Monday, 22 February 2016 20:51 (ten years ago)

I know that was def a blink moment

Soon all logins will look like this (darraghmac), Monday, 22 February 2016 21:06 (ten years ago)

We noticed Woods totally ignoring Powell for large parts of the show. I reckon she developed the supercilious left eyebrow to mock him out of his line of vision.

ailsa, Monday, 22 February 2016 21:58 (ten years ago)

She was definitely there to keep the boys inline as a Captain should. And 'Warfarin' was definitely delivered to say the least...

Mark G, Tuesday, 23 February 2016 07:38 (ten years ago)

It's my life's work to cultivate an eyebrow like that

Gaz upon my works ye mighty, and despair (Neil S), Monday, 7 March 2016 20:02 (ten years ago)

I liked that movie round

only got the last artist though

Number None, Monday, 7 March 2016 20:36 (ten years ago)

Handy enough this week I thought, prob meaning the question were well below the intellectual range of the overlords

Ecomigrant gnomics (darraghmac), Monday, 7 March 2016 20:57 (ten years ago)

I got the fastest interruption, when Paxo said 'Bodrum" I said 'Halicarnassus'.

Mark G, Monday, 7 March 2016 21:00 (ten years ago)

I figured it out

So is it an oxbridge final? Fuck that shit.

Just can't get Eno, ugh (ledge), Monday, 18 April 2016 15:05 (ten years ago)

8 for me. Some near misses, a couple I should have known but couldn't think of.

emil.y, Monday, 18 April 2016 15:25 (ten years ago)

So is it an oxbridge final? Fuck that shit.

Yes and yes. Also I'm not sure I can bear to watch Peterhouse again.

a passing spacecadet, Monday, 18 April 2016 15:33 (ten years ago)

12, not bad for a Monday

great sage equal to heaven (Noodle Vague), Monday, 18 April 2016 16:35 (ten years ago)

Well, that was a touch one-sided. And I get irrationally furious when Paxo refers to Powell as Oscar, it's quite unnecessarily paternalistic.

ailsa, Monday, 18 April 2016 19:37 (ten years ago)

Is that the lowest team score ever?

Mark G, Monday, 18 April 2016 20:16 (ten years ago)

xp Wasn't Paxman just making fun of Woods?

Woods was my favourite this season. Glad to see her win.

jmm, Monday, 18 April 2016 22:06 (ten years ago)

I liked Woods too. Plus I can't abide all-male teams, am always rooting for them to fuck up.

Chuck_Tatum, Monday, 18 April 2016 22:15 (ten years ago)

Whatever it was, it was annoying. He did it earlier in the series too. Also Peterhouse seemed to get longer before he gets exasperated with the time taking conferring. I did feel he was quite well-disposed towards them xp

Woods was great, yes. Really good at going "shall I just say that?" and listening to the rest of the team as well as being pretty useful at answering questions. Felt sorry for Clegg as he'd been really good the rest of the series, but he and his team just never got started.

ailsa, Monday, 18 April 2016 22:31 (ten years ago)

I forgot about Brejevs. He was really good too. Unfortunately his team was not as strong.

jmm, Monday, 18 April 2016 23:23 (ten years ago)

Easy mistake, anybody from outside Eurasia could've made it

you can't drowned a duck (Noodle Vague), Monday, 12 September 2016 21:20 (nine years ago)

I think he said Åland which is a pretty good guess IMO since the answer was Gotland

Neil S, Monday, 12 September 2016 21:23 (nine years ago)

ah that seems right darnit

Number None, Monday, 12 September 2016 21:40 (nine years ago)

Yeah, I heard Åland which seemed a fair enough wrong guess to me and was quite surprised to see so many folk going "lol Ireland"

ailsa, Monday, 12 September 2016 21:45 (nine years ago)

oh.

kinder, Monday, 12 September 2016 21:59 (nine years ago)

Yeah, Paxo almost did one but then he thought about it, I'm positive.
