First topic message reminder :

Does it include that one with the birds, I forget what it is called.

Skimming over the thread, I read turfcare as turdface.

Shall we get a team together for eggheads. Think between us we would not be bad. Superfly seems pretty clever. Jules has a wisdom through his age and obviously I am proper bright. Tina, Rick and Sean can fight it out for the last two places. I am not taking Kevin on though.

I've already declared my areas of expertise. Other than that, the cupboard is bare. RiCk is way more intelligent than I am. Union as well.

I'd go with RiCK if I were you.

Galted almost certainly has to be in, you can take the film round. Union scares me a little bit, am not sure meeting him in person is a risk I want to take.

Exactly. At least start with Galted.

by Rowley Tue 24 Mar 2015, 10:37 am

No offence Union, it is the reverse linear stuff, they were clearly not the work of a healthy mind. Galted is a Villa fan and a film geek, I suspect we would bond.

I see myself as more of a CJ de Mooi kind of guy. You know....nod along with everyones elses answers as if I knew it and then act surprised when its wrong.

CJ de Mooi (pronounced [də moːi̯]; born Joseph Connagh, 5 November 1969) is a professional quizzer and is a panellist on the BBC television show Eggheads. He adopted the name de Mooi when modelling; he translates it as Dutch for "handsome man", though a more literal translation would be "the beautiful".

ACtually, I am nothing like him:

He also competed in the 2012 Virgin London Marathon, completing with a time of 3 hours 16 minutes and 30 seconds.^[15] De Mooi is teetotal and a vegetarian.^[16]^[17]

But look at his shoes?

You'd really bond with a man who wears Hi-Tec's?

I've mentioned this before but I do a great Daphne Fowler impression, back from the days when they used to introduce themselves at the beginning.

Go on then. Let's hear it.

Union also does a brilliant Bruce Forsyth, it is truly fantastic.

by **seanmichaels** Tue 24 Mar 2015, 11:35 am

I only have Forrest Gump and Glenn Hoddle in my repertoire.

by Mind the windows Tino. Tue 24 Mar 2015, 11:39 am

I have John Bishop, Steven Gerrard, Jimmy Stewart, Al Pacino and my mate Lance.

by Guest Tue 24 Mar 2015, 11:40 am

I used to do a brilliant Jimmy Saville and Rolf Harris but nowadays saying that particular phrase can get you kicked in the face quicker than Steven Gerrard can f**k up his team's season.

Also do a reasonable Nelson Mandela

by Adam D Tue 24 Mar 2015, 11:40 am

I can do Tinos mate Lance as well.

I can also do Billy Connolly and Sean Connery.

TSMR's granddad told me the other day CJ has the highest IQ in the UK. I do not know the truths of this or where he heard this, to be honest as it made a welcome change from the racism that is his normal topic of conversation I was happy to accept it unchallenged.

by **rIck_dAgless** Tue 24 Mar 2015, 12:22 pm

I think he has in Mensa Jeff, but most of the really clever, high IQ guys (Hawking etc) can not be bothered with such a pretentious bunch of bell ends...

I'd be confident I know more about Steve Backshall and the German offensives of early 1918 than CJ does.

Has anybody ever noticed that a capital Q looks like a little balloon floating away?

Or a sperm with a shortened tail and more rounded head?

I bet CJ doesn't know as much about the letter Q as Tina does.

He does seem to know quite a bit about tennis. I would like to unleash Jules on him, let's see how well his mega IQ does him then.

You're all thinking it now though.
