English teacher didn't know what a funambulist does! gawd elp us!

[Bobbisox1]

Me too , more 60s/ 70s stuff , the team we had for a Music quiz was well balanced ,Steve was the heavy metal stuff, then there was me as above , Joan plucked an obscure one out of the air, Grahame was a one hit wonder man and Claire was the one for the naughtiest onwards, Mr B was for the 50s and trad jazz, we cleaned up most weeks back in the day :0)

Was the £1m won last night?

[Bobbisox1]

Not sure ILM, I gave up and went to bed, the woman with the big bandana got on my nerves with her prattling before answering , haha

It is a word that any quizzer would know but really nothing to do with teaching.

[iluvmargie]

Thanks Bobbi.

margie //Was the £1m won last night?//
No

[iluvmargie]

I didn't think it had because no-one on here had mentioned it, but I started watching it and there was quite an intelligent man on who was already up to six figures and I thought it might be him, but I nodded off and missed a big chunk of it!

[Bobbisox1]

That's the Glaswegian teacher ILM thats Tora IS talking about in his OP

[theshedman]

I think TTT was talking about the woman who was on after the man, both English teachers I think. He won £125,000.

[Bobbisox1]

Arh right shedman, that's the woman who 'waffled' a lot and I began to lose interest ?

[Bobbisox1]

Why is my 'is' in capitals? Comes across as being rude and it's not meant to :0(

[Cloverjo]

The English teacher should have been able to work out the funambulist question by ‘ambu’ in the word.

[theshedman]

Yes was a bit of a bore really. Wouldn't want to listen to her for too long. Nearly drove me to sleep.

[KUSTARD]

I thought the Glaswegian Teacher won £250,000 not £125,000. Was I not paying attention? And what is a Sagger etc? I JUST GOTTER KNOW!!

[Bobbisox1]

She clearly enjoyed her own voice shedman

[Bobbisox1]

Yes he did KUSTARD
A sagger ......
Is a one of these :0)

[theshedman]

Yes I got it wrong Kustard. He was really good.

It’s one of those words I can never remember the meaning of.
However with the help of multiple choice, problem solved.
I’m inclined to agree with Tora

[ichkeria]

“ It is a word that any quizzer would know but really nothing to do with teaching.”

It’s a word to do with English tho, so I am surprised that as Clover suggests it could not be worked out from the Latin root. Depending what the other choices were of course

[KUSTARD]

Thank you so much. If I see the Sagger thing advertised in the sits. vac. I will be able to apply for it now!!!!! I DID like the Glaswegian man best. Wish he'd won the million. Didn't like the woman and the one on now is boring.
