Gluestick Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 OK, this is now old news, but I found this in the Draft folder written in 2005 and it's a bit of fun.Add to it with your own idiotic questions!Since I have been flicking on the kitchen TV, in order to follow certain breaking news events, recently, as I retreat for a well-earned cup of tea, in between vainly attempting to decipher ungrammatical and idiotic letters, on behalf of clients, from various government bodies, invariably written by illiterate people, with unpronounceable names, I have had the general misfortune, to realise that TV companies have spawned a new generation of revenue generators: telephone quiz competitions, with such dumb multiple choice questions, I am left totally amazed! So, in order to assist them, I offer the following for future rounds: __________ Q. Whose statue sits on top of Nelson's Column? A.1. Ozzie Osborne? A.2. Nelson Mandela? A.3. Admiral Lord Nelson? __________ Q. Which famous Egyptian Queen, is commemorated (Will they understand this word?) by Cleopatra's Needle? A.1. Victoria Beckham? A.1. Boy George? A.3.

Weedon Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 One that cracked me up was on "celebrity" Weakest Link. What word beginning with T was dug by prisoners to escape from a concentration camp.Answer from some twot called Brian who apparently "starred" in Big Brother....HerbalThe idea that he even considered prisoners sat around in some Stalag supping herbal tea I thought was rather sad.I suppose though, it wasn't multiple choice.
