(It was only laid last year and is regularly pressure washed- not even the remotest hint of moss) *slams door* Throbber not aimed at you particularly ( well actually it is you rude so and so ) I never get this attitude Why not just so , No thank you I'm not interested , he still doesn't get a sale but moves on to the next door in a happier place , you don't buy anything but don't have to vent on a football forum ..everyone's a winner We don't get that many cold callers knocking on our door , but I usually decline have a little chat with them , ask how things have been generally , wish them good luck and then give them an address of a bloke up Liverpool way who I know would be interested in their product 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Wasn’t quite sure where to post this but I really didn’t like the start/new series of a Question of Sport. Only one episode in mind, but…. New host (Paddy McGuinness) just failed to bring any charisma and charm to the role. A little annoying actually. New captains Sam Quek and Ugo Monye again failed to show any personality and really lacked humour. Perhaps needs time but I think this could be the start of the end of the show or they may require a drastic rethink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said it was a failed attempt at a competing comedy sports show like A League of Their Own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think they lacked any sort of chemistry between the captains, and that can only really be achieved with time. It bothers me that they've gone with Paddy McGuinness though. The host for that show shouldn't be deliberately funny and make jokes and stuff. They're the host and they should just bounce off the captains. Plus it annoys me that they didn't go with an ex sportsperson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do the English actually like him? He's **** terrible, and I got about 5 minutes into 1 episode of QoS before giving up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was considering that he might actually go and annoy just my neighbours that actually have moss on their drive My toast was not in optimum condition when I returned to it.

Mark Albrighton Posted September 8, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 8, 2021 Maybe it’s my memory playing tricks on me, but I remember Question of Sport as being a proper quiz with the occasional moment of humour thrown in, typically during the “what happened next?” round. Then something changed after Coleman, Beaumont and Botham left and it became more like a pre watershed “They think it’s all over” in tone. FYI I was always supporting Botham as I knew who he was. But whenever Dean Saunders was on as a guest he was ALWAYS on Beaumont’s team. Left me very frustrated and conflicted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly what I meant by the host shouldn't be "deliberately" funny. The humour should come spontaneously through the character of the guests.
