Presumably by the tone of the OP they were quite optimistic on British cinema.

Food and Drink or you're sitting out the last round. Them's the rules.

Title: Re: Gameshow imponderables Post by: Cf on October 03, 2015, 12:04:36 AM There was a fun question on two tribes. Basic premise for those who haven't watched is you get asked a question and if you're wrong it passes to the next player and if they're wrong it passes to the nest until everyone is wrong and game over.
Question: What vowel does *whatever it was represent in morse code*' in morse code? Player A: E. Wrong. Player B: Pass!!! Player C: S!!! Game over. |
