We were playing Articulate on New Year's Eve (board game where you have to describe people/places/items to a team mate against the clock.

We were on People and one of the names that came up was B A Baracus so I said "Was one of the A-Team....I ain't getting on no plane fool....Big black guy, lots of muscles..." then passed as she clearly wasn't getting it.

At the end of the round she said "Who was the A-Team person?" to which I said "That was B A Baracus".

"Oh" she said "I thought he was the American President".

Genius. Straight into her top 5, which takes some doing.

At a recent New Year's Eve party, we were playing Trivial Pursuit with friends.

My mate's wife (who is 46 years old) thought that Jesus died "some time in the 1930's"

Playing a game of Trivial Pursuit with the wife a few years ago when a question came across on who Chinese actress Jianq Qing was married to.

She did'nt know this, and , not having many cheeses on the Board i said "Ok then, a clue, Little Red Book"

Her answer was Michael Aspell.....

God, your missus is stupid. Although I'll freely admit I didn't know it was Eamonn Andrews, without googling.

I was once travelling in a vehicle across a double-decker bridge when I was asked if we were on the top or bottom deck!

At Newmarket whilst watching the runners in the parade ring my missus told me to back a horse called Hunting Lion trained by Mick Channnon. I put £2.50 each way on for her on the nanny.

It won and paid over 100/1 on the tote. Afterwards when I was handing over the returns, I asked her how she had picked out that winner.

"Well, when we were watching them walk around he was the one with the happiest face." Plain

Not sure that qualifies, Slippy. Sounds like a talent to me. At least she wasn't impressed by the one with five legs!

My late Mum, sometime in the 70's was doing "Spot The Ball" in the local rag. I did the Pools coupon but spot the ball bored me so I left it to her.

After studying the coupon for a couple of minutes she handed it to me, saying, you'll have a better chance than me this week.

Why's that?

Well it says at the bottom it was Bradford City v Crewe and you go to all the cIty home games so you should know where the ball is!

And she was serious.

Likewise Foinavon. The Little Red Book was Mao´s manifesto if I remember rightly; the Big Red Book was This is Your Life I think.

according to Wiki:

Jiang Qing (Chiang Ching; March 19, 1914 – May 14, 1991) was the pseudonym used by the major Communist Party of China political figure who was Mao Zedong's last wife. In the West, Jiang was known as Madame Mao.

Too many to mention but we were driving past the airport one time when a plane went overhead. "I wish I was on that right now", she said. "FFS you silly cow, it's coming in to land."

Another was when we left our (then) 11 year old kid in the house on his own. "Don't answer the phone to anyone - unless it's us." This was the days before caller recognisation on a land line.

Was with a few mates who were taking the pi55 out of the insular nature of the yanks. One of em said that they had met a septic who thought that Ireland was attached to England. The wife turned to me after and said, " I thought it was". Another time we were watching the football and everybody was screaming at one of the players because he made little effort to go for a  cross which seemed eminently reachable. I couldn't have got my head to it said the wife from her wheelchair.

@MC Roller -- The other day, we were talking, well i was, she was stuffing her face again. I asked her to name the greatest invention ever, without hesitation she said the fridge.

Except that when you think about it, the fridge is not a bad shout for greatest invention. Keeps food fresh; prevents food poisoning, illness and death; reduces food costs by allowing bulk shopping; lets the population live further from the countryside. Your missus could be another Einstein, who, incidentally, once patented a new design for a fridge.

We were also playing Articulate on New Years Eve (it must be catching).

Also on the People round, my mate's wife said "Olympics - Rowing"

We went through the usual suspects - Redgrave, Pinsent etc, without success, so we ended up passing.

At the end of the round we checked up on who we had been looking for.

Ben Affleck

who she had got mixed up with Ben Ainslie, who we would still never have got near from her clue!

Genius!

That's a cracker. Has reminded me of a shocker my brother in law also had on Articulate a couple of years ago.

Was describing to us the banking guy who lost millions for Barings Bank, I was screaming at him Nick Leeson and he kept saying that it wasn't right. At the end of the round I asked who was on the card and it was Liam Neeson.
