Topic: Pointless

[Buck Pete]

Great little round just been on.  Showed you group pictures of the main cast from the films Reservoir Dogs and The Magnificient Seven and they had to name the actors.

I got Eddie Bunker (Mr Blue) for 1 point

The only pointless answer was Lawrence Tierney who played  Joe Cabot in Dogs.

Some of the scores on this are baffling. Just had a round on 'numerical values', with one question being 'how many days are there in a leap year?'. The number of people that knew it was 74 - how can more than 1 in 4 people go through life without knowing how many days there are in a leap year

Must be a Bowie answer on the show today as they just had to announce that the show was recorded before his death yesterday.

Id guess that the random 100 people who get asked can only answer once and the first answer is taken.  I reckon a few would misunderstand the question and say 29 (thinking of how many days in Feb during a leap year).   In the heat of the moment, a few might get mixed up and subtract a day instead of adding one on and say 364 days.

And like you suggest, a few are pure and simple thick as fook

Anyone see Lawrenson answer Alaska for a country beginning with A in the FA Cup special.  The stupid Pienaar.

Never mind a leap year. How many days are there in a year?

I reckon this would be a lot lower than you think. 60?

Anyone watching/playing?  It's Authors of the 100 Favourite Books chosen by teachers.

I'm going Dick King-Smith, John Steinbeck, Arthur Miller...

Anyone else see this last night, it's gone viral today, was a bit mad. The girl basically randomly picked Henrik Larsson as a name in the final due to her boyfriend being a Celtic fan and won £2,250.

To be honest I was reading his post and the first thing that popped into my head was 364

Gonna burn my degree now brb.

I'm part of a survey answering panel and I occasionally get pointless surveys. Before I did them, I could never understand some of the higher scores but the way you receive the question means that time is quite tight so you probably do miss people

Richard Osman stepping down from the show then to write books or something.

It's weird watching it without him.

They're basically having different guest presenters every month or so.

That role seems a bit.... pointless... now. He fitted the nerdy kind of behind the laptop character so well.
