The HALLOs were all beyond painful but the second teams captain was genuinely a lynchesque moment of shuddering dissonance and disquiet

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.

"Tom Jones?"
― koogs, Monday, 23 October 2017 19:51 (six years ago) link
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.

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.

apart from the long awaited popular music round obv
Can't unhear Tom Jones now
― Gary Synaesthesia (darraghmac), Monday, 23 October 2017 20:49 (six years ago) link
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 :(

If you'd never heard the records, you'd imagine a Tyrannosaurus Rex's singing voice being like "WAR! HUNFF! " etc, right?

How did they miss the German physicist/1905/photoelectric effect question?

too easy, self doubt
― Monogo doesn't socialise (ledge), Tuesday, 31 October 2017 14:01 (six years ago) link
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.

Can someone explain to me the nominate
I mean it's not a thing is it
Yet some captains do it. Usually odious ones. Is it a hospital pass for answers they don't fancy?
― Gary Synaesthesia (darraghmac), Monday, 6 November 2017 22:46 (six years ago) link
I think it's usually used for things they can't pronounce or are frightened they've misheard.

Normally I'm sat there on a Monday night shouting artist names or Dickens characters at the screen as the teams struggle. Yesterday it was types of plastic, which made a nice change.

Haha, aye, that was good. Yet again, randomly-ish shouting "Delacroix" at a painting pays off for me though.
