You didn't have to know his real name. You just had to know he was the singer as that's what they asked for. Saying 'member' instead of singer, would've been slightly harder.

Point taken

Did he ask 'Which U2 frontman is the father of Eve Hewson"? I hate questions like that. There are also ones like "Which [song title] singer was born [their real name] in [year]?" It's really just asking who sang that song.

IIRC, it was 'Eve Hewson is the daughter of which U2 singer ?' so yes, one of the questions you hate.

I recall once from a pub quiz:


'Nicholas Breakspear was the only Englishman....'

I start scribbling furiously

'....to hold which position at the head of the Catholic Church. It's worth a guess. If you don't know the answer then name a high up position in the Catholic Church'


Yeah, Thanks Mate.

Doesn't sound like much of a pub quiz to me. He might as well have just said "Question three, I think this one's a bit hard, so I'll just give you the answer, it's the Pope."

Like you I find it annoying when I hear a pub quiz question that I know the answer to, that I think some teams might not know, and then the quizmaster gives out a "helpful" clue that practically gives away the answer. Not very helpful to my team, if we're behind and trying to pick up points.

Hello, my first time on here, I didn't know this place existed until I saw it mentioned in one of Jenny's Q&As on twitter. Fair play to her, she answers a lot of questions and isn't mean. Considering some of the abuse she gets that deserves respect.

My favourite chaser is obviously Anne, how about everyone else.

Interesting fact that came out on Jenny's Q&A was that she has been on Mastermind, specialist subject Buffy. More interesting is that Anne has been on twice and has been knocked out in the first round both times. Shaun won it but she seems to be a lot better than him, I wonder if she would do better now.

Why is your favourite chaser "obviously" Anne?

I don't particularly mind which one of them it is on any given day. Paul's usually good value for some gags.

When I think of it I don't know why I put that obviously in there, maybe I just feel like everyone should have the same opinion as me.

Paul is great and I am looking forward to seeing him on that Royal Palladium show tonight, I've never seen any of his stand up but I've heard he is very good.

I actually like all of the Chasers, feel some are better than others but they are all very good.

Can anyone tell me why the Express seems to have a vendetta against the show? Hardly a day goes by without them having a go based on a couple of unhappy tweets.

I don't wish to sound picky, but your Join Date is showing as 2010, and you've got over 33,000 posts.

Personally, my order of preference is Paul, Anne, Mark, then Sean and Jenny about equal. I don't actively dislike them, but I find them less entertaining than the others as, to me, they don't seem like as strong quizzers.

Yes, I like Paul especially for the humour.

He can have some near flawless final chases, as shown last week (I think.)

Paul is my favourite.

Hi Ally and welcome to the thread.
Anne is my favourite too.

My preference in order . . . .. .

Anne
Shaun
Mark
Paul
Jenny

My Predictions for today:

Chaser- Mark
Team in Final Chase: 1
Final Chase Steps: 15
Chaser Catching Team: Yes, Within 1 min 10 seconds.

I meant the thread, not the site, and yes that is a bit picky.

Oh and by the way My chaser preference is below:

1st- Paul
2nd- Shaun
3rd- Jenny
EQUAL 4th- Mark and Anne

I don't dislike any chaser.

Strong performance there.

My low offer would be £3,000 and my high offer would be £24,000.

Great cash builder considering he got a couple of easyish ones wrong.

Yes, I got it right it's Mark!

Has Mark been losing weight? I can see cheekbones there and he was in that sugar free show.

£45,000 high offer for Player 1!

I wonder if these people encouraging the player to go high WILL do so in their head-to-heads.

Are you mad????

He is really good, should have thought about going high.

Why would they be mad???

Elizabeth Diana.

Easy question that.

I'd love to see your working out for that one given Jenny's more than shaky start to her Chasing career, whereas Shaun seems to be going from strength to strength recently. (And that is still bearing in mind that Jenny is a really good quizzer!)

I agree.

I think it's B. EDIT: Yep, it is B.
