I just read your Quiz Team characters out loud to my wife. We are not quiz folk but this was really funny--I do love strange facts but prefer reading them and not guessing them! (Did you know that an octopus has three hearts?) I loved the bit about the landlady's dog shatting on her time machine of the old-timey obscurity. And, to answer your query about radio show winnings, my dad actually won tickets for our family to visit the African Lion Safari (*not the real one in Africa, this one is located in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada). He simply had to be the sixth caller and roar like a lion. Winner! Thanks for this one!
I hereby assure your Dear Readers that the voice snippets were totally incomprehensible! I doubt I'd recognise any of the celebrities they used if I was given a close-up mugshot, there's about a snowballs-chance-in-hell of me guessing it from a barely audible grunt.
Bravo to whoever did win that rollover prize, they really earned it!
I’m the type of quizzed that people want on their team, but am actually diabolically bad, given my mantra of “never store anything in your brain that you can google”.

Thank you a much Jules!
Your comments made my day! 😃👏👏
Years ago, my oldest friend won £100,000 (!!!) on a Capital Radio voice comp that had run for ages. IIRC, the voice was Sarah from Bananarama.
Omg! That’s amazing! 👏👏👏
I bet she is still a huge Bananarama fan!
Oh absolutely 🍌

Loved this!
Thanks Una! I’ll let you know if we have a spare seat! 😉
I am definitely three of those personalities. 🤣🤪
Substack makes you smarter!
Shusher is definitely one of them! 😂😂
