Only Connect

[2sp_]

Anyone else see Only Connect last night?

Was I the only one screaming at the telly when one of the contestants said that you could make cheese by milking a billy goat?

[hc4361]

Hard to believe he was a medical doctor.

[Postdog]

I thought only I fancied betty rubble......and yes that was a man.

2sp...I love OC but that guy drove me nuts....so full of himself and I think Victoria would have given him a slap if she could have got away with it. I have a poorly eye and couldn't see properly....what was he wearing around his neck?

Still...he will take a bit of leg pulling for that one...not that I would want to pull his leg....x

I'd forgotten about the odd dog collar thing, gness.

I have no idea what it was. He was a bit of an odd bod. (And I'm a bit weird myself, so that's saying something.)

[gingejbee]

We were howling with laughter at this, particularly when Victoria agreed with him....we were expecting a rather smutty comment from her instead.

[2sp_]

gingejbee, along the lines of "you could milk it, but it won't make cheese"?

(I have others, all tried and tested on Mr P last night.)

[gingejbee]

....2sp...yes...they were my very words...and worse!

[gness]

I guess she wasn't used to having to deal with an eejit at that point in the quiz...she rarely holds back.

Perhaps she'll comment next week....☺

[pixie373]

I said exactly the same- the thing is-every one of them were nodding along. Nobody pointed out the obvious!

[gness]

I missed the introduction...was he a doctor or doctor to be?....Only I have a hospital appointment next week....☻

[shoota]

Sore eye? - too much winking......;-0

[2sp_]

gness, if your appointment does turn out to be with this man, tell him that you don't get milk from billy goats, his hair is ridiculous, stop wearing a dog collar and ask for a different doctor.

[hc4361]

gness, he is an ex-doctor. I did wonder if he sqad's grandson going by his Twitter profile -
Ex-doctor, but still enjoys feeling up old ladies in a purely amateur capacity

[2sp_]

hc4361, was he struck off for not knowing the difference between male and female mammals?

[gness]

Way too much winking, Shoota......now just look silly...:-(

Hc...he didn't look old enough to be a doctor let alone an ex.....he won't be hard to avoid next week though....especially as I'm an old lady....☺

[hc4361]

Wish I knew. My guess is he is one of those who can retain facts and figures and spew them out in exams, but if needed to put in to practice what he knows is hopeless.

[mikey4444]

I thought there was something not quite right about the chap's daughter as well. I was looking for an adams apple, but could really see one.

If she is a transexual, than she is bl00dy brave, appearing on nationwide TV
( Oh God ! TV ! )

[hc4361]

And if she's not, she'll get a complex reading all the comments about her on Twitter, Digital Spy and lord knows where else.

As it happens Emma is transgender and is active in support groups etc both in university and in the wider world.

[mikey4444]

The odd-bod with the silly metal thing around his neck and the ludicrous hair was part of a University Challenge team last season. Its amazing to realise that he now a medical doctor...If I saw him coming towards me, with a syringe in his hand, I would probably run a mile !

[hc4361]

Fear not, mikey - he is no longer practising.
