Goddamn! You guys are really bad at picking my answers!!!

[Mam of 4]

Well now , if you want to fail , do it in style seems to be my motto ... that's fecking abysmal, even for me .

[Wichita Lineman]

Question 7: Name any former President of the USA. (Minus points for anyone naming the one with a head that looks like a poorly combed basketball.)

Neowise ignored my warning of a points deduction and named the tangerine oaf. That might come back to haunt you if there’s a tiebreaker required. Jp liz v1 also threw in a wildcard - Ronald Reagan - but everyone else flocked to Barack Obama.

Question 8: Name any female TD in the current Irish Dail –
 
If Mary Lou McDonald polled as well in reality as she did here, she might get the Taoiseach’s job yet. Although there are no wrong answers, there was a ‘spoiled vote’ as someone nominated Mary Lou McDonagh as their choice. Due to ballot box secrecy I obviously cant reveal who it was but you remember I said something might come back to haunt someone…..

Also Mary Lou McDonagh is hilarious.

Vote Sinn Fein!

Also, d'ya like dags?

[E.N.]

Also thrilled to see Dube inventor Dion Dublin get mentioned by E.N. who seems to be a big dube / Dion fan.

Damn straight - Homes Under The Hammer wouldn't be the same without him

I'd actually have gone for George Foreman if I was chasing points, even though he didn't invent the grill, he was just the inventor's tenth(?) choice for a celebrity name to put on it

[Wichita Lineman]

Question 9: Name a ‘Friends’ character who appeared in all 235 episodes –

Monica Geller clearly has no friends here and she was the only one of the gang not selected. I doubt if Mam of 4 expected to serve an ace with Phoebe Buffay but she managed it.
Just as in the programme, there was a lot of focus on Ross & Rachel and just like then Rachel got the better end of the deal by not ending up tied to Ross. Always a bit slower on the uptake than the rest Joey Tribbiani made late headway to zoom past the Geller feller to pair off with Rachel.

Question 10: Name a TV quiz programme -

Another category with a massive pool to select from and BBC / ITV rivals Pointless and The Chase were neck and neck for a long way. Bradley Walsh surprised me by outrunning the tall Alexander Armstrong and the insanely tall Richard Osman but they wilted just before the finish line. Mastermind with 3 gets an honourable mention while thankfully Only Connect doesn’t. Oh it just did. Bugger.

Question 11: Name anywhere in Co. Wicklow that starts with the letter G –

Admittedly, not the most thought out category in that there are limited options. No mentions for Glenealy or Greenane so remember those if it’s a peehs game. I had to check where Glenmacnass was & would you believe I was there a few weeks ago. I got absolutely soaked seeing as we went walking in the lashing rain. Well I wasn’t going to stay sitting in the car after driving 70 miles to the sheep winning Glendalough was I?

Three quarter way through. Maybe I should have asked this earlier but is the pace of the reveal ok? Too slow? Too fast?

I wasnt brave enough to try a bonus point option on my first time out. Although some of the answers I'd be taking points off not adding to them!!

Question 15: Name any movie in which Cary Grant appears –

This must have been torture for Cary Grant fanatic DejaBoo and I’m sure it took hours for her to choose. In the end, she went for romance at the top of the Empire State Building (with Barney 92 no less) while 16 sided with intrigue & danger in ‘North by Northwest’.
