A poll of questions

[slemslempike]

A poll for a morning, a Thursday morning, apparently, which means that I must remember to buy the Guardian to get the booklet about Freshers Week.

[Poll #1446248]

And I would have posted about this horrible review in the Independent before if I'd been here. I haven't seen The Girlfriend Experience, though it sounds interesting, and I've no idea if his other criticisms are valid, but this:

One of them, the elephantine Tessa (Debbie Chazen) giggles nervously about going to see a play that she's in.
There's no point in not saying that these huge and unappetising women come across as being incredibly sad and curiously stupid, with their whale-like lolloping around

is fairly vile no matter what.

The worst kind of pub quiz questions are the ones about sport.

And my current answer to your final question is 1 but a year ago (when I did drink) it would have been 7 or 8, I think.

I can sort of see the sport ones because it's a valid category of questions. But motorways are just BORING.

I didn't tick the motorways bit because there is logic to how the motorways are numbered - or at least there is logic for the A and B road numbering and I assume the motorways also have that sort of thing behind them. I think knowing that logic does make it a bit more interesting, as you can see some history behind it all rathr than it just being random.

I like the logic of motorway numbering, but I think just "what is the number of the motorway that goes from a to b" is a dull question.

I'm a total infrastructure geek, so I think motorways are fascinating in the abstract (although deeply dull to drive along)!

But just matching up a number with a route for a question? I would probably quite happily read a (reasonably well-written) book about motorways, but I reject them utterly as a quiz question.

That's funny, motorways are not a standard subject in Irish table quizzes! Don't think I've ever encountered a question on them...
