Tickled me.

[dunnitall]

Rofl, love it!

[bednobs]

some people really are idiots

[weecalf]

It would been my second choice

[Baldric]

The Girl who gave that answer was a 20ish year old, why should she know the names of The Stones, I find it odd that you think she would!

[Zeuhl]

LOL

I saw a question last night that i foolishly thought a member of my team would find interesting this morning:

who lived the longest?

singer, michael jackson
actor, steve mcqueen
novelist, emily bronte

as i did, i realised that the 23 year old graduate only recognised the first name...


(BTW: answer is indeed 'the prince of pop')

[elliemay1]

Nervousness would also play a part. A contestant on The Chase is just after answering that a kiwi fruit has yellow flesh!

[Svejk]

They're still quite famous, Balders, doncha know. Anyway, I'm not casting aspersions. It just tickled me.

[cupid04]

This should have had a spoiler alert for those who haven't watched it yet.................................................................................. :-D

[Baldric]

At her age I knew them, but then that was 40+ years ago!

[lardhelmet]

Presumably if the surnames of One Direction had been on the board (I only know one because I'm old), she'd have been in there like a rat up a drainpipe.

[TWR]

Just about right the way some mock others on here, the site is getting to something.

[jourdain2]

Even I knew that!

[Barsel]

When people say they will have a guess at questions about the Beatles/Stones etc and quite often they have no idea, it makes me feel incredibly old.x

[zebo]

It was the only one I knew on both boards!

[Svejk]

yeah, I wouldn't have done much better, Zebo. ;)

[Tilly2]

Mr T got the Blind Faith one. He was really pleased.

[tonyav]

Was that the band with Steve Winwood in it, Tilly ?.

[Tilly2]

Yes, Yont. (I had to ask Mr T though) Mr T saw them at Hyde Park.

They were useless, he said but when the album came out, It was fantastic. They only made the one album. Then Eric formed Derek and the Dominoes.

[tonyav]

Yes Tilly I remember them, they were classed as a super group at the time.

[murraymints]

on the other hand I would not know any 1D etc ! an age thing !
