Great British Spelling Test

[Athers]

Well I just won a pint each off my housemates by beating them but I only scored 36/50 which I was a little disappointed with. 30 was the called pass mark and my mate with A-level English failed with 28 :laugh:

Did anyone else play?

[Jo]

no but i would have got all of them right because i am an ACE speller!

[StretfordEnd]

Play it where ?

Was it on the TV ?

Missed it in any case . . . :cry:

[Athers]

It was on ITV from 9-10:30. Sorry I did not warn you but I dashed off for the housemate challenge.

[Gruffy]

sorry mate, there was football on i missed it

[TAFKAP]

I totally missed it as well... poor do.

[jshaw]

i did the 1st 2 rounds of it but got real bored.
was male or female more brainy?

[Jo]

my housemates all did the IQ test and had a competition - the brightest one of them got 104.
wish i'd been there :no:

we were playing on the itbox at the pub once and one of them turned round to me and said, "wow, you're really clever actually, aren't you Jo?" nearly slapped the daft b1tch!

[TAFKAP]

I wonder how many spelling mistakes we'll find in this thread alone before it dies...

[Jo]

none so far but the eejits aren't around at the moment

[Athers]

Males won in the studio, females in the people daft enough to pay to take part on the phone/text.

Privilege and Manouevre were my finest moments.

Don't mean to be picky Dan, but I'm pretty sure it's manoeuvre. Hopefully that was just a typo!

I so would have gotten 50/50.

[Athers]

Yes typo! Of all the times :rolleyes:

[Infidel]

can't have been very hard if it was on ITV at peak time.

[QPRW12]

what a shite thing to put on tele.

[Bluetonic]

40/50

[StretfordEnd]

38/50

Pathetic.

:cry:

[jshaw]

it was kinda stupid if u were playing along at home
because if you were this sad and wanted to get 50/50 you could write down all the words then just look during the break for a dictionary

[Jo]

yeah but i'm not so sure many people would actually be arsed to do that...
