2. Dont get this new fangled humour. More sort of Bernard Manning myself
Christ, imagine sneaking into the Embassy to even take a pee for free? Manning would eat you alive! Nevermind playing the machines without buying a pint.

The point I was making was that buying a drink that I do not really want is an operational prop not a moral imperative. If it is not necessary it is a waste of money.
That sounds just like Mr. Logic, as I remember he was always getting booted out of the pub too (usually with a good kicking) :lol:

Argggh the gnome nightmares will start all over again now :shock:

Totally agree Grecian.

Long gone are the day's when you could just walk in - help yourself to chips - have a go on the barmaid - pot the quizzer then p*ss off with out even nodding to the landlord.

Listen lads this is the 90's so buy a feckin drink - your SWPy skills should easily recoup that!

Which sportsmen cannot wear beards?

Answer: Jockeys.

Can anyone enlighten me as to why this might be so? (better still provide a URL)

You're so right quizzard.. I got thrown out of the pub yesterday just for not buying a drink as I warmed myself by the fire and watched the match on the box while waiting to play the quizzer. I pointed out that I had just bought 20 B&H for the heavily inflated price of 6.20. To no avail.. The ch...

This does harp back to the question of whether the game prize pots are linked (or not) in any way.

These days I'm willing to believe they're not.

It hasn't got the drama of Millionaire, the sheer volume of questions of Weakest Link or the difficulty factor of Mastermind or University Challenge. But it does have the egg-heads who you can love to hate. Don't you think they're told to ham it up a bit? Make you hate the smarmy eggs, root for the...
