And although it was a ridiculous answer, even if they'd understood the question, they probably wouldn't have got it. The scathing look from the girl in the previous video would be one of those things I think about and cringe for decades to come. Awful. To be fair to the bloke, the video cuts out before Ben Sheperd repeats the question and the bloke clocks it straight away that he's misunderstood the question. The woman doesn't though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here it is. Her partner's reaction is incredible Pointless is brilliant in general when the player gives a stupid answer and the partner tries to disguise the anger.

Not just random lines it's got to fit the message you're trying to relay, but you say the exact line in the voice or accent from the film. I’m quite fond of using “bed? Beds for sleepy people, let’s get a kebab and go to a disco” whenever the missus gets tired on a night out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Referring to Whales as fish, describing people as close talkers, close walkers, etc, if there is a Senfeld line I will use it. Unpopular opinion: I never saw the fuss about Seinfeld. Don’t crucify me, I know I’m in the 1% minority and heard all the reasons why I’m an idiot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it's the pinnacle of television comedy. I go back to it weekly and laugh out loud still. It's not for everyone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember the question, but it began 'Which European city is the . . .?' Two women in the final round, clearly not going to be able to win because they had a puny score. One women says to the other 'Slovakia?' 'No, it has to be a city' the other replied. Three seconds later they agreed on 'Belarus'. It's amazing just how many people are completely and utterly clueless when it comes to geography. I know following football probably helps but I have a genuine interest in places and where they are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bog standard typical American sitcom, no better or worse than the scores of others. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to lie I have never heard of corner gas. Might give it a watch but as Seinfeld has been up there for me since the 90s, I'm not ready for anything to take its place.Yeah it's available on Plex for me so I will give it a go.

Mandy Lifeboats Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 If the UK was in a similar position to Ukraine (invaded by Russia and not protected my Nato) what would happen? Let's assume we don't use nuclear weapons. I am sure that our military would give a damn good account of themselves. But would the general public flock to the cause? How many foreign nationals would fight for us? Would people seek refuge in Ireland and/or France? How much of the UK would we be willing to lose? Would we leave the Falklands and Gibraltar unprotected? Which celebrities would grab a rifle? Who would shell St Andrews first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted March 30, 2022 Author VT Supporter Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) If a two-wheeled ride-on vehicle is a 'bike', and a three-wheeled ride-on vehicle is a 'trike', why is a four-wheeled ride-on vehicle a 'quad bike', and not a 'quike'?

If VT is a gauge , then we'd be welcoming Russia with flowers and helping them do a Mussolini on the Royal family and throw in Johnson for free The army I think would give a good account of themselves but I'm not convinced the general population would show the same appetite to fight as the Ukrainians have tbh , we'd probably show our support for the army by going out to clap once a week , unless there is something good on TV that night I guess I'd take the family and join the exodus , though if the choices were refuge in Ireland or France , I think I'd take my chances with a Molotov cocktail 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
