24hoursfromtulsehill Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 This evening is the annual Press Gallery quiz here in the House of Commons. I'm in the Hansard team. We're so cocky here at Hansard that the names of team members are pulled out of a hat, the theory being that any five Hansard staff can beat any quiz team put together by the nation's top newspapers and TV stations. We are the reigning champions. Ask me a question, and I'll answer it. Go on. Try me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. I give up. If they ask us anything about Latics, people will look to me, and they'll be sadly disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 Name the losing semi-finalists from the 1984/5 St Aidan's Chess Tournament. We were all losers in that contest, thanks to your besmirching it with your blatant cheating. Some will wonder how it's possible to cheat a chess match, but, ladies and gentlemen, the most talented cheats in the world always find a way. The losing semi finalists were Peter Kelly and William Holdaway. The winner of the contest was Gary Simister, who really couldn't play chess at all. Who was the losing finalist, you dumb f***?

Guest oa_exile Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Who was the last French team to win the European Cup? None have won the European Cup, Marseille won the Champions League in 1993 BUT they were subsequently stripped of the title after allegations of match-fixing.

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 Answer me this. Why on earth do so many people like to be a part of the Top Gear studio audience? I have never understood this phenomenon. I despise the show yet still tune in, just to marvel at the perculiar characters in the background. To summarise: they think that Jeremy Clarkson is God and they want him to die in a car accident. They are practising their expressions for when the day of the Big Crash comes. They are fantasising about rubbernecking when Jeremy's widowmaker supercar takes a roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
