Tipping Point

Today's gem

Which former deputy leader of the Labour party wrote a book about losing 8 stone in weight and reversing their diabetes ?

I don't know but the name Agatha Christie has come in to my head.

Who was the DEPUTY leader of the Labour Party 10 years ago? Asking who was the Labour leader then would be bad enough. Tough question. At least he had a go rather than saying nothing.

Give me the correct answer in 30 seconds

BUZZ. Time's up.

I wouldn't have got it right. But equally I wouldn't have given the name of the best-selling novelist of all time!

Still, he's got the balls to go on TV and potentially make a fool of himself, so good on him.

I think you might be a candidate for Tipping Point, Glyn.

Tom Watson was In office until December 2019 which isn't 10 years ago (I looked the exact date up, but I knew it wasn't 10 years) and had an ITV series on losing weight just last year so he was in the public spotlight more than most and definitely when the show was recorded.
He said AGATHA CHRISTIE. Imagine applying to go on a quiz show and not knowing who Agatha Christie, the best selling author of all time, is ? "At least he had a go" doesn't cut it.

Name a country that has won the Football World Cup ? Middlesex. Well at least I had a go.

Don't expect everyone to know Tom Watson, I did because of the great golfer he shares his name with, but there you go.

Let me know when you're on.

Quite. If the guess had been John Prescott for example you could have said he had a go.

Ahh, I would've guessed Prescott. Am I in?

I was on holidays in the US a few years ago, and a US quiz was on the tele.

That same question was asked.

The young lady's answer??

"Fellatio"

You can't beat a woman with a dirty mind.

Today ...

Q. How many feet in 10 yards??

Contestant. "I know that, it's 12"

Today's 'Tipping Point' was a Soccer Aid special featuring celebs, including Lee Juggernauth, a presenter on 'A Place in the Sun'.

Thick as a canteen mug doesn't begin to describe him. His best one today was:

Q: What large breed of dog takes its name from a peninsula in eastern Canada?
Lee: Yes, I know this, it's the Bernese Mountain Dog.

 

[WxmJax]

I don't think most people would have got that, me included, and I'm not bad at geography on the whole.

I think many people would know Labrador is in Canada and is a big dog breed, and that Berne is in Switzerland

 

[Squarebear]

Newfoundland would've been my guess. I didn't know about Labrador.

Saw this, and indeed I had 'Labrador', but had to double check Newfoundland, until I remembered, of course, that Newfoundland is an island, a fact I gathered from the wonderful film and book 'The Shipping News'....yep I'm a pretty dull bloke.....
