Re: Heard on a TV quiz yesterday...

I watch Eggheads occasionally and if there are a team of students on the opposing side I don't bother watching. They may have a head full of bumpf about Dr. Who, but as far as any real knowledge goes, they simply are not old enough to know anything yet. No life experience never mind common sense!

Re: Heard on a TV quiz yesterday...

Yes you're right Floydy, students know sod all. Just ask them about music in the sixties and seventies and they'll end up sat behind the big window in the final. And what annoys me is when asked if they want to go first, they don't say please....

The celebs that are currently appearing aren't putting up much of a fight either.
Where was Mozart buried.......Answer.....Berlin.......Being as he was from Austria, wouldn't Salzburg have been the better choice......

I agree. they often make the excuse that it was before their time. The great fire of London was before my time but I've still heard of it.

I was born in the sixties but still know music from the fifties and forties.
