I only knew that one because of ILB.

Funnily enough I got that one right as soon as Paxo said "The Book of Disquiet". (I didn't hear the rest of the question because I was explaining to the other half *how* I knew all about that).

But seven reasonably unassassinatable from 8 seems noteworthy
winning captain was a bit eye-rolly, the best bit of the match was when Nielsen slowly but clearly asserted herself as being their one good player

I never knew the Radiohead plagiarism story but just realised it before Paxo gave the answer

Ha

Yeah, I told me band about it, they thought I was kidding.

Yas I got that death valley one thanks to wasting an evening on this: mongoose murder, a fatal zipline and suicide by san francisco area park: a compendium of internet failure

I want to go back to university just to go on this, tbh.

the thought has crossed my mind

It seemed like they were making more effort to get women contestants last year, but now it's back to the usual nugatory levels
― Chuck_Tatum, Monday, 18 September 2017 20:12 (eight years ago)
Still ended up being an all-male final tho right?

Fuckers and timetables
Awful people obv
The HALLOs were all beyond painful but the second teams captain was genuinely a lynchesque moment of shuddering dissonance and disquiet
― Gary Synaesthesia (darraghmac), Monday, 23 October 2017 19:09 (eight years ago)
Woodland pretty extraordinary

*searches brain for old person's popular music name*
"T-Rex?"
― ailsa, Monday, 23 October 2017 19:22 (eight years ago)
Ha yes
These questions are easy or is it just me tonight
― Gary Synaesthesia (darraghmac), Monday, 23 October 2017 19:24 (eight years ago)
I got loads right, I thought it was one of the easier episodes, or at least stuffed full of things that come up in quizzes a lot. I stopped counting my own score years ago, perhaps I'll start again.
― ailsa, Monday, 23 October 2017 19:34 (eight years ago)
"Tom Jones?"
― koogs, Monday, 23 October 2017 19:51 (eight years ago)
tbf, we actually remarked during the clip that his voice did go a bit Tom Jonesy at one point, which I'd never noticed before.
― ailsa, Monday, 23 October 2017 19:52 (eight years ago)
I thought it was really hard today but I know nothing about stuff from the past. tbh the only thing I know about is iso codes.
― kinder, Monday, 23 October 2017 20:46 (eight years ago)
apart from the long awaited popular music round obv
Can't unhear Tom Jones now
― Gary Synaesthesia (darraghmac), Monday, 23 October 2017 20:49 (eight years ago)
They come out of the same vocal tradition innit, except Starr was immersed in it and Jones worshipping it from afar.
Good performance from my homegirl Varela, despite clear defeat :(
― Daniel_Rf, Tuesday, 24 October 2017 11:13 (eight years ago)
If you'd never heard the records, you'd imagine a Tyrannosaurus Rex's singing voice being like "WAR! HUNFF! " etc, right?
not really "dugareedug a dugareedug redug"

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

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

How did they miss the German physicist/1905/photoelectric effect question?
― jmm, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 13:58 (eight years ago)
too easy, self doubt
― Monogo doesn't socialise (ledge), Tuesday, 31 October 2017 14:01 (eight years ago)
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.

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