Well,this is quite fun,this thread lay dormant for over a month and then I posted on Thursday to start it back up again and since then it's got quite lively.
I have a good general knowledge and would probably consider myself an above average pub quizzer but I'd still be wary of going on one of these shows and potentially making a total horlicks of one of the questions. Unless it was Food & Drink,which I freely admit to knowing nothing about,nor caring either. Any time I'm doing a pub quiz and it's a Food & Drink question I just switch off and let the rest of our team answer it. They don't bother asking me my opinion on it because they know I'll have absolutely no clue. Or interest. I can name you all fifty US state capitals but as soon as I hear a question with the word "ingredient" in it I'm off to the bar. ![]() ![]()

On the Big Money Round of Family Fortunes, Led Dennis asked a gentleman 'name a type of ache?' The response was a 'fillet of fish'.

Saw this when it was originally shown back in the day.
Old Max Bygraves, a jolly contestant with his family quietly fuming behind, and of course 'Turkey'. ![]() https://youtu.be/MHiGT_odU2Y?t=117 |

The brilliant Steve Harvey hosting Family Feud, the American version of Family Fortunes and this doozy of an answer to the question: "Name something that follows the word 'pork...'"

http://youtu.be/fdcleUk-T4U When she shouted,"LOIN! LOIN! PORK LOIN!",and then she spells it out because the host doesn't understand - and she spells it L-I-O-N. I'd have held her to "Lion" - "Sorry,it's not up there". |

Tipping point today:
"Used in lightbulbs, which metallic element has the highest melting point?" Answer offered: "Mercury" - That well known metallic element that is already molten at room temperature! "What was the name of Nelson's flagship during the battle of Trafalgar?" Answer offered: "The Cutty Sark" |

Answer offered: "The Cutty Sark" Incidentally I believe the reason there has never been another ship in the Royal Navy called HMS Victory (unlike,say,the Ark Royal,of which there have been several over the years) is that it is technically still a commissioned ship in the Navy and has never been retired. Perhaps we should resurrect the Tipping Point thread,since so many of these seem to be from it. But I don't even know if there is one. |

Pretty lame answer but at least it's a sailing ship.

Today's Tipping Point gem:
"Which Labour Party leader lost both the 1987 and 1992 General Elections?" "Harold MacMillan." Wrong party and about thirty years out. He was young and probably wasn't alive in 1987 but I've never thought that's much of an excuse to not knowing the answers to what I consider to be relatively easy questions. At the end of the day these people volunteer to go on these shows and therefore should be expected to have a reasonable general knowledge. Incidentally Harold MacMillan's first name was Maurice. Harold was his middle name. George Osbourne was born Gideon Osbourne. He changed his name when he was thirteen. |

Although I wasn't even 2 months old for the 1992 election and even I know it was Kinnock. |

Maybe I was being a bit harsh but then I'm a bit anal about politics and stuff.
I can name all the Prime Ministers since 1900 and all the election years since then. I would get the defeated candidate in all the post war elections but I might struggle a bit before then.

I'm waiting for the question "In which country was PM Lloyd George born?". It would be interesting to see how many people got it right.

Tony Blair was born in Edinburgh but he's never made much of his Scottish roots. The Duke of Wellington was born in Dublin but never considered himself Irish,he is supposed to have remarked that,"Being born in a stable does not make one a horse." |
