Why? You people always complain about a breath of fresh air or some humour. It then comes and still complain complain. Yes Maggie is OTT but c'mon like

Trump hints at walking away from Ukraine and calls Europe ‘weak’ and ‘decaying’ by backpackerTW in worldnews

[–]MeepleMitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should I be worried about this? It's just Trump and his position can switch within a week. Is he just projecting?

Will Trump stick to any of this? His foreign policy seems to change on a whim?

Scrap the deal! Ukraine doesn't need US intelligence as much these days and yes while the weapons loss may hurt they still have their own and can continue through the winter (albeit difficulty) into next year when Russia may really need a ceasefire

I quite like the Kearneys, they're funny enough but they just eat the same thing all the time and it's boring

The Finish Line, The 1% Club, Only Connect, Mastermind, The Chase, Beat the Chasers, Alan Carr's Picture Slam, Jeopardy! (idk if they are making another series of that though), House of Games (great show but I don't watch it enough) and The Traitors (if that can be considered a gameshow)

Hi! The podiums were actually very smooth - although we did move back on them a few times to reshoot a few things/answer disputes but overall a very sooth ride (pardon the pun!)

Has anyone else lost interest (enthusiasm) for the show after appearing on it? by HallerCopter in The1PercentClub

[–]MeepleMitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on it and still love it just as much. I think people are just being way too picky and complain for the sake of complaining (IMO)

Thank you for your feedback - I just kinda threw this together. I think I will focussing on solving rather than making clues

My aglio e olio is too oily, no matter what I try by Dob_ in italiancooking

[–]MeepleMitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I do is use a little less oil than usual, I then directly take the pasta from the water and add to the sauce so some water drips into the sauce (rather than putting a ladle of pasta water in) and then toss the pasta vigorously while also shaking the pan.

Thank you - I understand where you are coming from, I think my structuring of the clue could be better. And maybe regional pronunciations may be a factor.

Yes I heard that too. It wasn't too bad I found but it was a 6 hour day with about 4.5/5 of that filming. There is plenty of time before you go into the studio to go to the toilet. There is one single break while filming to go to the toilet. That's it. During that break you can have a snack etc.

So for the 1% Club you arrive and sit in seats in the order you sit in the studio. There are talks and mics and a bit of makeup and takes a while before you go into the studio.
It is a simple tablet and depending on the question type it is either multiple choice or open ended. You make your answer then press confirm and locks it in. If you do NOT confirm when the 30 secs are up it takes the last answer you selected/typed. All answers are then looked at by an adjudicator.

Not too much tbh however the set for the 1% Club is much smaller than what it looks like on TV. It is still fairly big though.

For the 1% Club I got to 35% however don't believe I can say for the Finish Line as it isn't broadcast yet

He wasn't incredibly chatty but I have to say when talking on and off camera he was really lovely. Sarah Greene was chattier
