Is that really a stupid answer? Its a very specific subject and one a lot of people would struggle with IMO.
Its more of an answer than I would be able to give and tbh it sounds a perfectly reasonable one. I wouldn't have a clue on that question. |

There was one on Eggheads on Friday. Question was what decade Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys was born, 1930s, 1950s or 1970s. Now you'd think somebody who said he was born in 1960 himself and knew who this was would have been aware they were active in the early 80s and so he was unlikely to have been born in the 70s, but no.
Then Barry, who is 66 and was first reserve for his college's University Challenge team, and that it was his all time favourite programme and remembered watching it in black and white, was umming and erring whether it started in 1962 or 1982. I suppose he may still have had a black and white telly in 1982. |

One from an episode of tipping point last week, I just caught a snippet of the program. Not so much a stupid answer, more a stupid question.
"With which sport is a professional golfer associated?" I'll give you three guesses... |

Who's Doing the Dishes is my guilty pleasure and this happened yesterday.
Four contestants go to a celebrity's house and they have to guess who is cooking for them by clues throughout the house and the meals that are cooked. This is obviously filmed in 2015 and someone threw out Freddie Mercury as the celebrity. |

You can't break an omlette without breaking what? erm.... the pan? a sweat?, fingers? A one from Millionaire Hot Seat - multiple choice. Something that has not gone correctly is said to have gone what shaped? Plum? Peach? Prune? Pear? |

Yes it has. Some right thickos on In It To Win It. Last night a woman was asked 'which European island country is known as the land of fire and ice'. She said England.
I guess she dodged what she thought were a few geisers on the way down to the shops on a cold winter's day but in reality turned out to be no more than a car splashing her from a flooded gutter. |

Ben Cohen, a former Strictly contestant, gave the answer "Darcey Brussels" as presenter or judge on a 2014 reality show. This was in today's Pointless.
