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.

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 :(

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

Chuck_Tatum, Tuesday, 24 October 2017 13:38 (eight years ago)

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

Chuck_Tatum, Tuesday, 24 October 2017 13:39 (eight years ago)

Really like this Ulster team

Gary Synaesthesia (darraghmac), Monday, 30 October 2017 20:10 (eight years ago)

Questions are piss easy tho!

Gary Synaesthesia (darraghmac), Monday, 30 October 2017 20:13 (eight years ago)

OTM x2

Terry Micawber (Tom D.), Monday, 30 October 2017 20:17 (eight years ago)

Look I'm not saying that question set was a plant but....

Gary Synaesthesia (darraghmac), Monday, 30 October 2017 20:23 (eight years ago)

lol Titus Andronicus, the band, got a question!

André Ryu (Neil S), Monday, 30 October 2017 20:27 (eight years ago)

Bruce Willis?

Mark G, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 13:55 (eight years ago)

He was sat next to the bloke from Future Islands

Mark G, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 13:56 (eight years ago)

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.

Monogo doesn't socialise (ledge), Tuesday, 31 October 2017 14:04 (eight years ago)

kids these days

Gary Synaesthesia (darraghmac), Tuesday, 31 October 2017 14:24 (eight years ago)

This jumping lad tho

Gary Synaesthesia (darraghmac), Monday, 6 November 2017 20:25 (eight years ago)

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

ailsa, Monday, 6 November 2017 21:02 (eight years ago)

Really impressive right hand side of a team alright

And jumpy guy

Gary Synaesthesia (darraghmac), Monday, 6 November 2017 21:03 (eight years ago)

I can't stand ostentatious conferrers

Number None, Monday, 6 November 2017 21:29 (eight years ago)

Bit dull this week

Mark G, Monday, 6 November 2017 22:27 (eight years ago)

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 (eight years ago)

I think it's usually used for things they can't pronounce or are frightened they've misheard.

ailsa, Monday, 6 November 2017 22:53 (eight years ago)

yup

Number None, Monday, 6 November 2017 22:57 (eight years ago)

occasionally a celebrity they're too embarrassed to admit they've heard of

Number None, Monday, 6 November 2017 22:57 (eight years ago)

Lackspittle pass

Gary Synaesthesia (darraghmac), Monday, 6 November 2017 23:01 (eight years ago)

Ha, yeah "nominate Smith" "is it Harry Styles?"

*Paxo sneer* "yes, but why on earth would anyone know that?"

ailsa, Monday, 6 November 2017 23:12 (eight years ago)

*throws card down on desk*

ailsa, Monday, 6 November 2017 23:14 (eight years ago)

"Glauron, I believe."
"Nominate Trimble."
".....Glauron."

Glaurung, rather

jmm, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 02:54 (eight years ago)

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.

koogs, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 05:24 (eight years ago)

PVC! PVC!

Ah, back to those punk days..

Mark G, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 07:47 (eight years ago)

Questions easy again obv

Gary Synaesthesia (darraghmac), Tuesday, 7 November 2017 08:47 (eight years ago)

MacDougall can fuck off for a start

fake pato is kind of racist, dude (darraghmac), Monday, 20 November 2017 20:03 (eight years ago)

Golly these questions are o level

fake pato is kind of racist, dude (darraghmac), Monday, 20 November 2017 20:12 (eight years ago)

Wear a grey polo neck and doesn't know his philosophy

Fraud

fake pato is kind of racist, dude (darraghmac), Monday, 20 November 2017 20:20 (eight years ago)

can't believe "From Socrates On Down" wasn't it

Number None, Monday, 20 November 2017 20:54 (eight years ago)

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

ailsa, Monday, 20 November 2017 21:25 (eight years ago)

<3 delacroix

fake pato is kind of racist, dude (darraghmac), Monday, 20 November 2017 22:06 (eight years ago)

fake pato is kind of racist, dude (darraghmac), Monday, 27 November 2017 20:15 (eight years ago)

The way McDaid just pulled Amy Schumer out of thin air was beautiful

Big Pred aka (Noodle Vague), Monday, 27 November 2017 20:27 (eight years ago)

Aw bless Jackson having a sulk

Big Pred aka (Noodle Vague), Monday, 27 November 2017 20:28 (eight years ago)

they said 'asterix' and laughed but i only knew it was vercingetorix from reading asterix.

Monogo doesn't socialise (ledge), Monday, 27 November 2017 20:30 (eight years ago)

Otm ledge

Jackson another one wanted a shoeing tbh

That Ulster team is so genial and chill. Makes me want to go there and get a PhD in carpets or w/e
