    I came to the party late today. What's the deal with Jamie? Has he been less than useless all evening?

    Jamie would've aced this


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 24,019 Mod ✭✭✭✭TICKLE_ME_ELMO


    Martina Navratilova would be an interesting one in the final round.

    Opponents she beat to win any of her 18 single Slam titles.
    Name of any partner she won any of her 31 Slam doubles titles with.
    Anyone she lost to in a singles Slam final.


    (Chris Evert could be your answer to all 3 :) )

    The second day in a row I've missed it, and I'll make it the hat-trick tomorrow. All going well I'll be back on Friday, silly pointless college.

    Imagine an actual Pointless College where Richard was a lecturer :)

    I've been wondering how they would get three different questions out of "Elton John Albums", which was offered as an option in the final yesterday. It can hardly be split by decade, since ultimately that makes no difference, and including soundtracks for film or stage as a separate question seems to be overreaching. Guest appearances he made on albums by other acts? Artists who appeared on the Two Rooms tribute album? Any theories?

    How many albums does Elton have?

    Maybe take whatever his most famous album is and name any song on it.

    Name any Top 40 charting album, other than the one above, bound to be at least 1 pointless answer there.

    Anyone he's done a duet with on any album.... maybe?

    Does seem an odd one.

    It did occur to me that they could also ask to name any musician - other than Elton himself - who has appeared on, say, six or more of his albums. An Elton nerd would have no problem with that, and I suppose only an Elton fan would opt for it in the first place. I just thought it was a bit weird to have the category as "Elton John Albums", rather than just the man himself.
