Christ alive! Tonight he's shouted out "Bananarama!" and "Woodstock"! with no concept of adding in the extra part to make the correct answer. Night after night he does it and cannot work out why his answers are wrong. We have it on all the time, and he still cannot seem to grasp the idea of it. Drives me mental!

My DH does get Answer Smash but just can't get his head around pointless.

Next time I marry I'm going to try and find a DH with better comprehension Grin

Stiffany was very fun to say.

Oh, I gave up trying to explain it to mine and just let him look baffled as I shouted answers at the telly.

But Answersmash is the best bit!!

ScupperedbytheSea · 16/10/2024 18:53

I've spent 15 years trying to explain the rules of Pointless to my husband, so I feel your pain.

It took my DP a while but he got it eventually.

To be fair I really struggled to say the bananarama one out loud tonight. It was a good episode for 80's teens.

CurlewKate · 16/10/2024 19:09

Is HofG back????? Tell me it is!!!!

GhoulWithADragonTattoo · 16/10/2024 19:13

I agree LTB! This is not an overreaction...

GhoulWithADragonTattoo · 16/10/2024 19:14

@ScupperedbytheSea I'd watch that!

TheHangingGardensOfBasildon · 16/10/2024 19:16

Half the contestants don't seem to get it either - with some of them who DO clearly get it at first forgetting again halfway through!

whiteroseredrose · 16/10/2024 19:25

Ha ha. Drives me nuts too.

DogInATent · 16/10/2024 19:27

How is he with Mornington Crescent?

Pain is the right word. I cannot fathom what could possibly be so difficult about the concept.

PolaroidPrincess · 17/10/2024 18:20

Thinking if you at this sad time @StarGirrrl77 Grin

MeowCatPleaseMeowBack · 17/10/2024 18:24

Richard's being rather mean lately!

StarSlinger · 17/10/2024 18:41

I'm glad Sam won today. I really like him.

TeenToTwenties · 17/10/2024 18:44

I like Where is Kazakhstan and the Estimating and Dating games.
