With @Fairbairn’s intellect he should be looking at Who wants to be a millionaire or summat with big prize ££££! 😄 I do feel a bit sorry for them when it's back to a measly £1000 again then they go through the rigmarole of asking what they'd do with the money if they win..."eh I'll put it in the bills account" 😆 Who Wants to be a Millionaire isn't the same though when you'd have to sit and make small talk with Jeremy Clarkson while perched on a bar stool.

I used to have it on in the mornings when driving to the train station. Depending on what time I started I would catch the 5k minute, its on at 8.10 am every day. Its good, particularly if the contestant is close to winning. Here is an example of a question set ( dont look! ) Time yourself and get Mrs F to read the questions. Has to be done in a minute. Unsurprisingly 😁 Listened to it yesterday, a carload of teachers won the jackpot. Quote

First one was a guess and no.8 I only know as heard it on another quiz last week! There's also a fair chance I wouldn't have pronounced the answer to no.6 correctly and I definitely wouldn't have spelled it correctly! Obviously hard to tell reading them yourself but I'd be relatively confident in doing them in under 60 seconds! I don't know the host of traitors, would have to guess 1. The rest I know. I know number 8 cause I was at a maths weekend in Milton Keynes and on the Saturday night in the bar there was a bunch of folk watching it and taking it way too serious. Quote

Pretty sure you could pronounce No 6 correct, and spell it too 😆, though its a ‘shout out’ quiz so it wouldn’t matter. You could spell it as ‘ fuck off Radio Clyde ’ and still win. You should enter, £5 k for 5 minutes work would put you in Ronaldo hourly rate ! Mrs F could be on the pc , you are allowed to google. Quote

I actually watched Eurovision and even posted on a Eurovision thread on here during it, and still couldn’t remember who won it. I am so envious of people who have good memory recall. Quote

StirlingEgg Posted January 16, 2025 Posted January 16, 2025 I guessed The Peak District and said the New York districts out loud to see which sounded familiar but still wasn't sure...probably ran out of time 🙃 Quote
slasher Posted January 16, 2025 Posted January 16, 2025 I got a creditable 9 on the 5k minute. Infuriatingly I didn’t know the last one and guessed Brooklyn 🙈 Quote
bonzo Posted January 17, 2025 Posted January 17, 2025 Got 9 guessed the bible wan(think I've just heard it a hundred times in other quizzes) and now I know what the largest national park is 😤 Quote
dan cake Posted January 17, 2025 Posted January 17, 2025 I wrongly thought Snowdonia was the UK’s largest national park 9/10 for me Quote

StirlingEgg Posted January 17, 2025 Posted January 17, 2025 18 today! Sports round tripped me up. Quote
TDYER63 Posted January 17, 2025 Author Posted January 17, 2025 14 😱 Good start , ok middle , disastrous end. I only watched one of all the tv shows and couldn’t even guess correct for the others. Quote
