Certain People On Quizzes
52 Answers
I often watch quizzes, and some people say, when asked " this is not my area of knowledge", when previously in the quiz they have not answered any questions correctly with the same reply. Does this mean that the have no area of knowledge? So why do they go on quizzes? Just having a moan.

I did fifteen to one when I was first ill 1999
