link Newsnight couldn’t be more excited about the election if they tried (and, for the next fours weeks, they will try), I almost expected Paxo to say “this is even more fun than a WAR!!!” but the highlight has to be Michael Crick IN A HELICOPTER like some sort of SUPERHERO (in glasses), THWARTING hypocrisy, FIGHTING untruths and ASKING STUPID QUESTIONS to people who know better than to answer, truly this will be an great election…
MAD AS HATTERS?
Pub quiz hell: what football team is nicknamed The Hatters?
In the white and black (with a bit of orange corner): Me with Luton Town.
In the blue corner: Ben with Stockport County.
And then we get to explain why we believe what we did. Which gets us down to that most visceral level of fact knowledge, I don’t know why I know Luton are the Hatters, but I do. Ben countered with a convincing story about working for the BBC in Manchester. Yet I knew I was right, so much so I would rather have the wrong answer put down so I could lord over everyone my knowledge (this is when quizzes get nasty).
Quiz lady said Luton. I was vindicated. Though as any fule no, both teams are nicknamed The Hatters. This is a rubbish pub quiz question therefore, on a par with asking what team is nicknamed The Bees.
