What Do They Know......

[boxtops]

I'm not watching some quiz which is on TV, and did the same yesterday. I despair:

Q. In which country is the holy city of Mecca?

A. Israel

Derrrrrr......

Q. What was the pre-decimal name for a five shilling coin?

A. A farthing.

[Mamyalynne]

If I were you, I'd not watch it again tomorrow.

[mccfluff]

i don't know the answer to the second without looking it up.... :-)

[boxtops]

LOL mamya, I'm too demotivated to move six feet to the remote control, to switch it off.....

[mazie]

A crown fluff

[mazie]

Which quiz is it boxy?..

[albaqwerty]

is that The Link on the beeb?

I'm not watching NCIS :-)

[mccfluff]

i have a farthing on my desk

[Lie-in King]

fluff loves a fartthing...

[boxtops]

I had to go and look it up, Alba..... yes it is the Link. I think yesterday I might have been not watching the dreadful Ejector Seat....

whatever it is, I am delighted to report that the TV knows it's been on too long, and has just turned itself off. LOL.

[B00]

I didn't know either answer either.

[albaqwerty]

I think I saw about 10 seconds of Ejector Seat, 10 seconds too long imo :-)

[ummmm]

I don't know the answers. I wouldn't go on a quiz show though...

[albaqwerty]

for some perverse reason, I like watching University Challenge and I feel really chuffed with myself if I get ONE answer right!

Why isn't the remote control in your hand ? - your'e not a serious couch potatoe , are you

[joggerjayne]

I don't know the per decimal one.

I was 4 and a half when we went decimal, so my recollection is a bit fuzzy.

[whiskeryron]

JJ can I put you down as '' Being a bit fuzzy'' as a general rule ?

Q. In which country is the holy city of Mecca?

Oh come on! REALLY!...everyone knows it's a dance club in my old stomping ground of Streatham, South London, then named in the 80's to The Cats Whiskers, where I have you know, I used to practice my unbelievable chatting up techniques ( some would call it ***, that worked funny enough ) on the gorgeous girls there and had the best times ever ....aaaahhhh the memories come rollin' back :0)

so the answer is...........

ENGLAND innit! :0)

[redman41]

Always thought Mecca was a Bingo Company :-))

[yogi-bear]
