Mrs Almareallymatters has come up with a spiffing idea - A Moz-Solo team to apply for Eggheads. Anyone interested, bung me a PM. Also - any suggestions for a team name? Disappointed? Dear God Please Help Me? Those Eggheads are not so tough - I played a quiz against three of them about 8 years ago, and whooped their sorry asses.

Bye for now,

Peter

Oh Alma will suffice!;)

You can count me in...obviously...if anybody hasn't seen the show its on NOW on BBC2...and every weekday evening at 6pm!:)

RANK could be good as a team name!

I think Eggheads v Smegheads would be a good combination. Maybe it's been done before though?

I wouldn't be much good, but I can lick my lips more than that smug Millionaire winner. :)

She has got an amusing gob arrangement mate! I 'll be sure to tell her...after we've whooped her sorry arse!

I've just asked Grim if he would be interested in this, but he's too thick. I always get the answers on Eggheads if they're multiple choice but would struggle on the stand alone questions.

Actually, Suedeheads v Eggheads would be worth watching no?

Suedeheads.....BRILLIANT!

OK, I've got the application form, we need 6 people, got 2 already. We need photos, real names, ages, contact numbers - the whole shebang. Time is short, apparently.

Peter

I've already appeared on (and won!) a BBC2 gameshow, so count me in!

Brilliant!...that's three then...although with you and Uncle-MASTERMIND-skinny on the team I feel woefully under-qualified!:o

COME ON!...we are still three players short of a team!

I know, what's wrong with all these users? Offer them a chance of a few grand and what happens? Nothing. Pah.

Hmmm...I'm tempted, but haven't watched the programme yet.
I'll let you know later.

Kewpie...watch it on Monday if you can...it's not too difficult...I think anyone with a decent amount of general knowledge would do just fine...THINK OF THE MONEY!!!!;)

Alright, I'll watch it on Monday.
When I was a child I wanted to be on quiz show because my mum often watch them on telly.

well, hubby is cleverer than me, I wonder if he'd like to do it...

I would like to nominate Jukebox Jury and Morrissey 23rd to take part. And who is the person who does the nice coloured T-shirts? Anyway, don't you need yellow, red purple, green etc in the team? That would be a nice idea too?

I do that all day any way:p

how dare you misquote me to suit your own statements! :D ;) :P

This is all sounding quite promising now!:)

All those serious about possibly taking part should PM Uncleskinny...who incidentially I am nominating for Team Captain!;)

Oh and Grim...I have already PM'd Jukebox Jury in this regard!

is there a cash prize and, if so, can we donate it to the Lads Club?


I agree to donate some of the prize, not all of it! :p

The prize money rolls over to the next show if it isn't won...at the moment its about £8000...but a couple of weeks ago one team scooped £70,000!!! It goes up by £1000 each day until a team beats the Eggheads.

I think a Lads Club donation is a wonderful idea....but as Kewpie says...not ALL of it!!!!;)

pardon?

pardon?

you don't want to do it though :confused:

Yes, good on you everyone who's said yes.

Hubby, take note! :mad:

Love that Eggheads show!! Would love to get on there and wipe the smug smiles off their faces. Don't live in UK, so not that easy for me. For those of you considering it...go for it.
What a coup it would be to have a team of Morrissey devotees proving to the disbelieving world around us that we are well read, well educated and certainly not miserable!!

Filmed at Wood Green, London...

EXACTLY!

At last count I think we still only have a team of four...we need six...come on!

If, like Lux Girl, geography is a problem we are still looking for team name suggestions and T-Shirt ideas!!!!

Thanks for the info.

Peter and JJ have another excuse to come to London. :D

Alma, I think we need one person.

Grim is trying to get Hugh, so we'd better wait for his reply. :)

oooh well i'll be right here waiting

I reckon you look over 18. ;)

I think you have to be under 83, due to fire regulations.

lol, if i grew a beard, or wore a dress

:p


i bid everyone a goodnight, Goodnight!!

oooh well i'll be right here waiting

I can't see the answer on the website...but I expect as its a cash prize it will be 18 though...if you are under 18 (which from memory I think you are) maybe you could help us swot up! I envisage many an early night with an encyclopedia on the horizon...Mr Alma will be well chuffed!!!!:rolleyes:

I spend my spare time reading encyclopedias anyway...

I'll take Entertainment against Chris. I haven't seen him get a question about anything post-1969 correct yet.

Like some kind of quiz show, like family fortunes?! A solo team - fantastic idea!!

Am I right in thinking it's 5 to a team rather than 6?

Also if you don't turn 'em at regular intervals they have a tendancy to go rock hard on the underside.....

Uncleskinny says we need six for the application form...so I guess we need a reserve?...maybe incase one of us is struck down with stage fright!:eek:

I always make the mistake of putting them in there for too long and ending up with a rock hard potato. Last night it was like eating a clog.

The trouble is nothing quite beats a jacket spud done in an ACTUAL oven rather than a microwave one...you can't get a crispy skin in the microwave...and the CLOG effect is a very common result sadly!:(

My friend Gertrude is very good at quizzes.

And her head looks a bit like an egg.

Shell I ring her?

Absolutely. Alas, I just don't trust myself with an oven. I could make myself a bowl of Corn Flakes and end up with it bursting into flames.

On the bright side, I like to pretend I'm Charlie Chaplin in The Gold Rush when I'm eating my clog/rock hard potato.

Shell I ring her?

i think you should...get her on board...would you go too?

Unfortunately Gertrude is unavailable at the moment (rehab) so I can't ask her if she would consider joining the team (perhaps you don't want her anyway).

But she wishes you good luck and says she'll watch the show if they are allowed to have the TV back in the dayroom.

In Spanish, Eggheads would be Cabezas de los Huevos.

But we need one reserve...the application form needs SIX names!

If some kind soul can volunteer as the sixth man I will start work on the application form!...they won't appear on the show unless somebody is ill or gets an attack of stage fright I guess...but they do get to come to the pub afterwards and a share in the loot if we win!

OK, I'll ask left out.

Peter can ask Wilde Oscar or Ally Panic.

Grim and Hugh also seem to interested in, we have to ask them as well.

i'll do it! now what are we doing? game show?

Thanks...it is a game show yes...but it seems a long way for you to travel to be a "reserve"!!!...its in London...we need five players (which we have got) and one reserve (which we haven't) just incase of any unforseen circumstances on the day....

OK, I'll ask left out.

Peter can ask Wilde Oscar or Ally Panic.

Excellent Kewpie....it would be a shame to have to drop out before we have even filled out the application form!

Good Luck!

are you guaranteed to get on just by filling out the app?

are you guaranteed to get on just by filling out the app?

I don't think so...I guess we will be "veted" first...there are quite a lot of questions on the form and they require photos too! But a Morrissey-Solo team on the telly (called The Suedeheads incidently!) is far too genius not to at least have a bash at getting on!

Thats REALLY sweet of you Bogdana...but we really couldn't expect you to travel all that way (especially just to be a reserve) I'm sure there MUST be somebody a bit closer to London who can help us out...but in the meantime thanks again for even considering it...it really goes above and beyond the call of Solo duty...The Suedeheads salute you!:)

I'll be the sub BUT I've a small rider request! We need to wear Salford Lads Club t-shirts & donate the winnings to the club (or at least advertise the fact if we do win that the dosh is going to the SLC) ok?

Let me know?

love

Grim
P.s. M23 might not be quite so demanding, well he might?

If we manage to win, we would like to donate some of the prize money to SLC, not all of them.

I say yes to both demands...a SIZEABLE donation to The Lads Club...(not ALL as I have promised the kids a weekend at the seaside if we win and this whole thing was their idea!) and I will wear any T-Shirt you like (within reason)....so as far as I'm concerned your in Grim!

The kids are on school hols this coming week...once they are back at school I will start work on the application and PM all concerned...hope this meets with everyones approval?

The Suedeheads are GO!

whooo hooo,
go Suedeheads.
:D:D:D

An Egghead/Suedehead update....

We now have the six people we require...

Almareallymatters
Uncleskinny
Kewpie
Jukebox Jury
TLOTFamousIP

and our reserve Egghead...

Kitty3780

I shall begin work on the application form this week and will be in touch with all Suedeheads via PM's to request the details I require. We will have to audition first and if successful return to London at a later date to record the show.

Thank you to everyone! Now...lets go kick some arse!;)

good luck i hope you get on it. oh if you need help studying i can help you :)

Thanks bogdana!:)

If we do get in I will post a list of the subjects we will be asked questions on and hope people will post a few questions and answers they think might come-up so we can swat up a bit...I think we're gonna need all the help we can get (especially me!:o)

all the best of luck you lot!

Thanks...I think we'll need it...especially me...."some girls are THICKER than others!":eek:

i refuse to believe that. besides, isn't cj just there as eye candy? :rolleyes:

I'm thinking of asking The Cats Mother to knit me a CJ doll actually...so I can stick pins in it!:eek:

She should do one of kevin, then you could pray he has some sort of short term stroke.


They really are a strange bunch of odd-ball's aren't they?....that Daphne one kinda creeps me out a bit too...but the CJ know-it-all-eye-flicker thing takes the biscuit for me Egghead-oddity-wise!

ATTENTION ALL SUEDEHEADS!:eek:

I have FINALLY got around to making a start on our application form and have sent a PM to all team members listing the information I need!

Let's do this people!;)

*IMPORTANT UPDATE*

Thank you all would-be Suedeheads!

I now have all the information I need to complete the Eggheads application form. I am aiming at getting it in the post by Thursday leaving me free to shift focus by Friday to concentrate and nabbing my Roundhouse tix!

Thanks again...next stop auditions...hopefully!:eek:

Thank you very much alma.
Hopefully we'll meet at the audition. :)

Which date are you planning to go?

Sadly my stay-at-home-Mummy budget will only stretch to one show!:( I am going for Friday...fingers crossed!

I think Friday would be easier because more people try to get Saturday and Sunday tickets.
I haven't decided yet, but might see you in there. :)

I'm going with Anais...another Mozzy-Mummy!

We decided to go for Friday working on the assumption that most people will be at work and as we are both "layabouts" we are free to queue from lunchtime...thus ensuring a coveted barrier position! Well...that's the plan anyway!

There was a Morrissey question on Eggheads last night!...methinks they might have started reading our application form! :)

The question was "Who had a hit with the album Listen Without Prejudice"...the options were...

MORRISSEY
ELTON JOHN
GEORGE MICHAEL

The challenger got it right too...lets hope we get a Moz question when we're on! ;) Although could you imagine the SHAME if we got it wrong?!

Yep, I saw it.

The challenger didn't know the answer, but given three choices she picked the right one. :D

How on earth could they possibly resist us?!

Another Morrissey question on Eggheads this evening (I'm sure they must have been inspired by our application form...that's two Moz questions in as many weeks!)

The question was "who formed a successful song writing partnership with Johnny Marr in the 80's?"....MORRISSEY was the middle option....the guy not only got it right but he answered STEVEN PATRICK Morrissey...a fan surely? ;)

Keep the Moz questions coming Dermot...there's hope for The Suedeheads yet!

Hahaha, he seems a fan, but he was a show-off. :p

Hahaha, he seems a fan, but he was a show-off. :p

Thanks for the offer...we do actually have the five people we need plus a reserve...but if you don't mind I'll remember you should we have any last minute glitches?

(If you want to knock out CJ I'm afraid there is a bit of a queue!)

URGENT UPDATE! :eek:

I have today been contacted by the production team at Eggheads who would like The Suedeheads to audition for the show later this month!

Please could all Suedeheads check their PM's and contact me asap with regards availability for the auditions...thanks in advance!

Just a GENTLE reminder that I need to call the Egghead production team to confirm our audition by lunchtime tomorrow...so please could all Suedeheads who haven't confirmed yet PM me tomorrow MORNING having had a grovel to their boss for the time off first thing! ;)

Thanks! :)

Back from the audition.

Finally Suedeheads (Uncleskinny, almareallymatters, TLOTFamousIP, Kitty3780 and myself) met for the first time!

We did a session against the team of In Style magazine who actually still hadn't got a name yet.

Peter brought us Suedehead T-shirts which impressed both In Style and production team.

First we did written general knowlege (5 multiple and 5 non-multiple) in 3 minutes.

1 on 1 session by subject:

Science (Peter, won)

Geography (not my strong subject, lost at sudden death) :o

Arts & Literature (Kitty, won)

Sport (TLOTFamousIP, lost at sudden death)

General Knowledge (alma, won)

Entertainment (Kitty, sudden death win)

At the end we did camera test which we're asked to introduce ourselves.


Sadly Jukebox Jury couldn't make it today, but we have rising stars Kitty and alma no need for worrying. ;)
Suedeheads has great presentation, team name and lively atomosphere which is a vital element for a TV programme and pretty confident to be selected for actual recording in few months time.

It was really lovely to meet all of the team. :)

However, I must admit that I was the most under-performed and ill-prepared team member, if we aren't selected, it's all my fault. :o

Well done!! Fingers crossed you get selected :)

Us against a team of journalists (who lie)...just the incentive we needed...I reckon its in the bag! ;)

Was disappointed I couldn't make it, but was rooting for you in spirit.

Jukebox Jury

whooo, sounds like your in with a chance then,...

im so proud of you all

well done to all involved. i can't wait to watch it on the little screen. (i have no doubts that you all passed the audition with ease.)

Alma says I have to wait for them to call me so they can ask me some questions.
Hopefully I will have the computer on so can 'google' for the answers;)

Well that is actually LOADS more flattering than the REAL one! :D

Ok, finally I am ready to post the photo!

Sorry for delay, but don't have internet access at home, and I do have to do some work before I can doss on solo!

Here we are in all our glory (minus Kwepie who is too beautiful to be seen - once you have seen her face, you will spend your whole life crying that you'll never see such perfection again... unless you look at Morrissey every day that is)!

I never know how to make these photos attach big, so don't blame me if it doesn't work!

L-R - Uncle Skinny, Almareallymatters. LOTFamousIP, Kitty3780.

Arrrrgggghhhh!

See, it always comes out small!

I just don't understand!

Thankfully I am not such a thicko at general knowledge - just computers!

Check the T-Shirts - how cool are they???!! Mucho grazias to Uncle Skinny for those.

We'll keep you posted on our sucess (or lack of).

I have to say though, I think his mate John is a nicer bloke. Sorry Stuart if you read this but in my defence, I am sorta protecting you in case your lady reads this also!

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just got a letter from the production team that Suedeheads are shortlisted as a future contestant of the programme!!!!!!

It's largely Peter's Tshirts and Kitty, alma and TLOTFamousIP's wit, intelligence and enthusiams.

Get in! We are now ambassadors, and must comport ourselves accordingly. That means sobriety, respect, and representing the Morrissey community with dignity and grace.:D

I will be taking part in an RSPB quiz night in March after I get back from SA as part of my Suedehead training... I suggest the rest of you also embark on a serious programme of quizzing in the next few months... except Uncle Skinny who is already a quiz genius and can afford to take it easy!

I brought a "Who wants to be a millionaire?" game for the PS2 in the sale for a fiver at the weekend....does that count? :o

They had a pub quiz at our local for the first time last Sunday. Me & my brother were booed out after taking the cash. Won't be going back there for a while.

Aaaahhhhhh I get it now, multiple choice and Morrissey was one of the potential answers!:o

I was watching The Weakest Link before Eggheads (but didn't watch Eggheads) and I didn't get the full question, just vaguely heard something about 'former university' and the answer (correctly) given was
'Alma Mater'
so that's a kind of Morrissey related question!!:D

Jukebox Jury

Bump!!

I got a text message from Peter, we're filiming on Tuesday 27th May!

Are you ready Suedeheads? :D

So any idea when it will be aired? I was watching it the other day and the other contestants won, which meant the pot went down to nowt again. Would be just your luck to win, but only £1000. Still it all counts eh?

Good luck Eggheads!!

Can everyone please keep their fingers crossed for us. We are filming tomorrow. If you could all concentrate your brain power in our general direction too... that would be very much appreciated!

We'll update the thread if we aren't too ashamed of ourselves!

Kitty, you're the rising star of Suedeheads!

It was me who didn't do well at the audition.
As long as Peter and Phill won't turn up with hangover-head, we'll be fine. :D

good luck all of you, Kewpie you will be the lucky mascot!

Well, we recorded the show. We're not allowed to tell you how we did, but I can tell you the following...


It's not Dermot Murnaghan presenting anymore, it's Jeremy Vine who is a massive Smiths and Morrissey fan. He interspersed the proceedings with quotations from Smiths' and Morrissey songs, bless him.

Rule 1 - always think about what you've just been asked, and give an appropriate response:D

We did not disgrace ourselves.

Kitty, Alma and Kewpie will supply photographs, maybe later tonight.

We don't know when it will be aired - it could be some time because of Euro2008 and Wimbledon, or it could be sooner.

That's it really.


Cheers,

Peter

aww thanks for the update, we will look fwd to seeing the pics and of course the programme when it airs :)

Also - as a hick from the fielded provinces, it came as a bit of a shock to witness a hammer attack in Shepherds Bush, outside the cafe in which we gathered to discuss tactics. A bloke walked in front of a car, the driver braked, and bounded out of the car with a hammer (which he just happened to be carrying), and set about the pedestrian. The perpetrator protested his innocence, despite there being at least 50 witnesses, and was carted away in a paddy wagon. Madness.

Pity Jeremy looks horrible in this picture, but as you know he's really gorgeous in flesh.
Sadly I didn't have a chance to show him Kate's knitted Smiths which he might love.

Is CJ as unbearable as he is on TV in person?

Looking forward to seeing it on TV :D

hey suedeheads, so glad to hear you finally did it...
did they let you wear your tshirts? cause judging byt he pic it looks like they didnt...
and how cool was it to find Jeremy vine there instead of that annoying other twerp, bet he really appreciated your team. :D

Nah, no logos, as Naomi Klein wrote. I must say that from start to finish I had a cracking time, nothing but good memories. Jeremy Vine was fantastic. He sang 'Jeane' with me at the end of the show. Fab.

Peter

Mrs Almareallymatters has come up with a spiffing idea - A Moz-Solo team to apply for Eggheads. Anyone interested, bung me a PM. Also - any suggestions for a team name? Disappointed? Dear God Please Help Me? Those Eggheads are not so tough - I played a quiz against three of them about 8 years ago, and whooped their sorry asses.

Bye for now,

Peter

Well, I'm sad that *I* cannot play! The few programmes I get on BBC America are just about it. Hasn't "Keeping Up Appearances" run its course?

Infact, the three Eggheads fans in my family (grandmother, mother and I) have come to a conclusion that Judith and the bald bespectacled man are by far the most bearable.
