Pointless

Tickled me.

I think that the Beeb and ITV must put adverts in local newsagents windows, asking for really thick people to appear on TV and make complete wassocks of themselves. I have lost count of the number of times that contestants on the Lottery program have been asked really quite simple questions by Dale Winton, and they start their answer by saying ::

" Well Dale, Geography is not my specialist subject ! "

You just know that they are going to say that kangaroos come from Africa, or the Andes are in India, etc, etc !

I had a colleague once that had to drive to Exeter from South Wales for a meeting and when I told her that all she needed to do was to go over the Severn Bridge and take the M5 south, she amazed me by saying that she didn't know anything about compass points. Admittedly, she was a bit on the thick side but how anybody could possibly get into their 40's and not know the difference between north and south is completely beyond me.

I thought Richard's answer to the girl who said "The Bee Gees" was even more amusing, he said - If the answer had been the Bee Gees the board would have said Gibb, Gibb, Gibb.

Another thing that puzzles me......what is the point of Dale Winton ? Am I missing something here ? He is about as effective as a damp flannel !

[Tilly2]

He's good at making people feel at ease, I think.

[Peter Pedant]

very pop Mikey
gurlz love him - that is day time viewers, who are girls love him
and as you know it is the clapometer that counts !

( sudduv Terry Wogan effect )

[weecalf]

when is a band not a group, so were the stones not a group ,misleading question .

[RATTER15]

I thought everybody knew it was the Beatles!!!

[mikey4444]

PP...please use plain english !...please !

Its just that he seems so listless and damp.

Remember "Supermarket Sweep" ? I know we can't have John Humphries everywhere but surely the Beeb could come up with someone other than Dale.

[weecalf]

think they meant musical band RATTER15

[weecalf]

Wilters is okay sure they name a soap after him mmmmmmmmmerdale

[Peter Pedant]

// PP...please use plain english !...please !//

Girls like Dale winton but wouldnt like a 20st something

is that plain enough ?

[mikey4444]

Yes PP, but gurlz and sudduv weren't ! I'm not being awkward here but its just that I have never learnt all these new abbreviations and I am happier if English as wot we used to know it is used !

By the way, not sure why girls should love Dale ? I know he is probably the ultimate unthreatening male but he's hardly a dish is he ? I mean...that face looks as if its been put together by a Photofit profile.

What do they AB Sisters think ?

[Baldric]

Think they would be wasting their time if they did fancy him tbh!

[Tilly2]

I've told you what I think but you ignored me, brov!

[Cloverjo]

Dale seems like a nice man, but I don't think lots of gurlz/girls or women fancy him.

[mikey4444]

Come on Sisters...keep this pot simmering away !

Jordy....not the slightest grain of truth there.......not even a teensy-weensy bit ! He is a camp as a row of tents, and we love him for it.

Now Graham Norton I have no time for whatsoever...about as funny as a dose of piles.

[lardhelmet]

Are they told to answer every question he asks them with his name?

Well, Dale. If I won some money I'do this Dale and then I'd do that Dale. What 's that all about?
