So the wrong title and the wrong artist?

 

[Slime]

If the question was who sung that particular song, maybe they had the correct answer?

Not the worst I've heard. We were in a quiz once last year where, I've forgotten the exact wording of the question but essentially the answer was one of the batman films - say, Dark Knight Rises for example. When shouting the answers he said he'd accept 'Batman'. How many bloody batman films have there been?? I wondered, if the question was 'which film featured the villain Scaramanga?' would he have accepted 'James Bond'?

Problem with pub quizzes is that the quizmaster's word is final, even when they're wrong.

A few years ago one of the rounds was "which was the first band for these famous people".
The quizmaster was a Marc Bolan fan, so the answer he required was John's Children.
He then announced the answer for Phil Collins was Genesis, and when I pointed out that if he wanted to be pendantic about Bolan, then Collins' first band was actually Flaming Youth, he got very snotty.

Chicken blooming pox for crying out loud

The wife and kids due to leave for a little holiday tomorrow, I'm nights so was all set to paint the house during the day

Youngest we just noticed spots.. how? Just how?

She had it 3 weeks ago! Well we thought but then we thought her twin had it but had just got over it .. but this one defo had proper spots

Mental

Yes it's a pain but it's more annoying that eldest is really excited to go away.

Tempted to see if the mother in law (who was going with anyways) wants to just go away with eldest as she's easy work and they can have a nice time at least

My wife buys the Easter eggs for our house, I can't be trusted apparently . I've seen the bags with them in, happy days. She dished them out this morning, 6 to my son, 23, 6 to my daughter, 20, I got 1 . The kids have largely left home so there is some compensating going on.......but 1 . Next year I'm going rogue.

You’re doing better than me. I had my eye on Ferrero Rocher one, where the egg is like the shell of one of the chocolates, dropped lots of hints. After the madness of my daughter opening her eggs and other stuff, my wife quietly told me my egg must be in the bag that she took to my Mam’s for the Easter Egg hunt later. So not only do I not have one, I have to watch one of my niece or nephews ‘find’ mine. The Easter Bunny is playing some kind of sick game.

My buying starts when the cream eggs come out… I may have a large stash

I'm off playing golf as the supermarkets open. I'll drop in on the way back but I suspect the shelves will have been stripped by then

Oh my! Sun and blue sky on a Sunday at last!

My irritation is now how slow the family is at leaving the house.

I thought my morning was bad . That's an absolute shocker.

All supermarkets are, apart from the very small independants and garage type ones.

I'm surprised I was able to get a Tesco Whoosh delivery then! Would have been a thirsty watch of The Masters otherwise!
