Even if I didn't know the answer to your standard quiz question, he wasn't assassinated.

Chapeau'd

The irony is that although incorrect, it quite possible wasn't pointless

The most annoying answer to any quiz question EVER,  always comes from the younger generation of today.

'It was before my time.'

The battle Of Hastings
the signing of the Magna Carta
Henry 8th coming to the throne
the Great Fire Of London
The battle of Trafalgar
The battle of Waterloo
The American Civil War
Titanic sinking
The first World War
The Lusitania being sunk
The stock market crash
The San Francisco earthquake
Hitler invading Poland
The bomb on Hiroshima
and the day before I was born.

All before my time, but I know about them, you dumb young bastards!!

Ask them a question no Big Brother or the lyrics of a rap song, and they're straight in with the answer.

W*nkers.

And her partners answer wasnt much better - which French revolutionary was murdered in the bath?: answer Joan of Arc.

Is it true one contestant thought Joan of Arc was stabbed in the bath?

Just watched it

ffs

which French revolutionary was murdered in the bath? - next person said Napoleon

Sorry ITG - just read your post!

I didn't realize how many of these there were but they are brilliant! One round had the initials of Hitchcock films:

NBN
P

Answers: 'Naughty but Nice' and 'Pollyanna'

which French revolutionary was murdered in the bath?

This is going to annoy me for the rest of the day. I do remember the assassin was Charlotte Corday, because of the racehorse of that name a few years ago.

Now you've spoiled the fun I'd have had when it popped into my brain during lunch.

LBJ dunnit

The one thing you can guarantee is that when young people appear on TV quiz shows they seem to have absolutely no general knowledge whatsoever. I shudder to think what it's going to be like in 50 years!

Absolutely, you can just see a quiz in 2065 asking " who was the virgin queen " & someone answering Queen Elizabeth 2nd

I blame the parents.

Polybot, I know you like your conspiracy theories, have you ever seen the video below?  It really shatters a few myths about the deaths of JFK and Princess Di

Clerkmore's right. I mean, when I was 14 I could name all 92 English Football League grounds

The Dell
Baseball Ground
Burnden Park
Highfield Road
Ayresome Park

I've been to the Dell and Burnden Park. And Roker Park, Ninian Park, the Vetch Field, Highbury

and Filbert Street

Baseball Ground was the first pro match I went to in a proper ground

Forgot Elm Park and the Goldstone Ground

Fellows Park, Leeds Road, The Manor Ground, The Victoria Ground, Gay Meadow

Millmoor, Plough Lane, the Den, Victoria Ground, Highbury, the Dell.

Upton Park and Carrow Road.

That's my lot.

Maine Road

Forgot Plough Lane - been there

Upton Park and Carrow Road.

That's my lot

They are still football grounds... until next year when one of them will be developed into a luxury madrasa

Also been to Dean Court although I'm not sure offhand if Bournemouth's current ground is the old one revamped and renamed or a completely new venue.

If it is the latter, I'm pretty sure it's within a few yards of their previous home.

New name. And pitch turned 90 degrees. Plus probably pretty new stands, etc.
