Day Twenty Seven : Pointless

Date :  Monday 27th January 2014

Time : 20.08

Location : Millennium Apartments, Birmingham


Pointless

"What. More TV? But you spoke about TV yesterday!"

I know I know. But Pointless is more than TV. It's a way of life. (*Disclaimer* - I have no idea what I'm talking about.)

A typical evening for me goes like this...

17.30 - Finish work
18.00 - Get home from work
18.15 - Go to the gym / chill at home
19.30 - Start cooking dinner.
20.00 - Eat dinner / watch Pointless.... (the rest isn't important!)

Pointless, for anyone who doesn't know, is a BBC quiz where the object of the game is to find the most obscure answer from a given category. Hosted by Alexander Armstrong, he and his sidekick Richard Osman have amazing chemistry, bouncing off eachother like a kid on a trampoline. 

It's just brilliant entertainment each category is put to 100 people before the show, with the most obscure answers getting the fewest points. 

Hannah and I like to play along at home, we both have our strengths, mine football, sports in general, geography and music. And hers, fashion, geography too and (some) music. Though to be honest, what we find more fun is guessing how low each answer is going to get! We've gotten pretty darn good! 

As of yet, Arsenal's 2003/04 Invincibles season hasn't come up as a category, but when it does, I'll do pretty well! 

I've always wanted to go on a TV quiz show. It looks so easy (and is ...... if you know the answer!). 

Once, we both had phone auditions for The Million Pound Drop, which would have been amazing. We had a quiz on the phone, I got 7/10. They didn't call us back. I just find it infuriating to watch when I know the answer, but the people on TV don't. 

Being on a TV quiz show is absolutely on my bucketlist! 

Oh, something else I was thinking today on my walk into work. I am only working a 3 day week this week (jealous much?). So on my walk to work, I was thinking .....

"Is today still Monday, or should I class it as Wednesday?"

I wasn't too sure how to think it. I could think Monday today. Tomorrow could be Wednesday and (actual) Wednesday could be Friday. That was I'd still finish the week on Friday. I then thought that if I class today as Wednesday, the week may seem shorter!

So yeah. Monday today. Wednesday tomorrow. Friday on Wednesday. Happy days. This weeks gonna fly by! 

Lesson of the day : Watch Pointless. It's brilliant. 

TWENTY EIGHT DAYS. WOAH.
