Am I glad I'm not a footballer!!

I have just watched "The weakest link" wags special on the BBC I-player, and have come to the conclusion that I don't think I could live with any of the girls on there.

As lovely as some of them are to look at, to actually spend any serious time with them would be a nightmare. There are some classic answers given, it had me in absolute stitches. If you have a spare 40minutes have a look.

There's an easy way to stop them speaking

Couldn't agree more.

But you have to remember that if you are a footballer on £70k - £120K per week then stimulating conversation is not what you are after. Its 'looks' first and foremost, cos all your mates have a cracker so you must have one.

Plus, remember that most of the top footballers are hardly very exciting conversationalists themselves.

Hi,

OMFG!!! That is so embarrassingly sad. How thick is she? Admittedly, I didn't know Hungary was the answer (I was going to say Yugoslavia..

). but at least that would have been a reasonable attempt, unlike hers.

One word, though, sums that clip up... Americans!

"Is France a country?!" she says! Jeeez....!!!!!

Pooch

danmc_82 · 27-05-2008, 10:40 PM

Is she for real??? Ive heard of Turkey but not Hungary

funny though that clip is, it pretty much sums up most contestants on easy-as-

quiz shows and reality show wannabes, whether American or British
- the US doesn't have a monopoly on dip

ts, just look at (spoiler text regarding The Apprentice...) that idiot who got booted off the Apprentice tonight (claimed to be half-Jewish and a classics graduate, but tried to get Kosher chicken from a mosque

)

To be honest most pro footballers are as thick as two short planks, so I guess they make a good match.

When I was a teenager I briefly dated a model, she wasn't famous but she done catalogue and magazine stuff and the odd fashion show. I thought I'd hit gold, she was a stunning looking girl, a real head turner. I couldn't believe my luck. However it was like talking to a brick wall. Trust me the novelty of dating a model soon wore off and believe it or not I blew her out :-)

my apologies, text now in spoiler tags, and if you could perhaps remove my quote it won't spoil it for others who didn't watch it last night

Sweet Jesus...

Sounds like a lovely deep south girl.

We have our own dummies but when it's a geography based question the yanks are out there on their own.

Have to remember over 70% don't even own a passport.

We all laugh but remember in the early days when Bush didn't have a catalogue of set phrases to speel out and his advisors let him talk of his own freewill.

He's wasn't a million miles off our friend in the video...

Why would they need a passport,its a country thats got totally everything.

I would also put Bush a lot higher up the old brainbox league than Blair or Brown those two slime balls.

America does have some decent beer. Just as here, the market is dominated by crap.

Sorry , there's just way to much mileage in both those statements, and I'm way to busy to have fun with it.

I've got medical insurance......but many Americans can't afford it, due to the stupid price of the cover, and as far as i'm aware, their drugs costs aren't limited to the price of a prescription, like here in the UK.

Quite surprised to see this episode of The Weakest mentioned in the Telegraph of all places. So thought I'd have a looksie on iPlayer and still shocked at how dumb these girls are! Yeah, they are quite easy on the eye but I'd like to think if i was a multi-millionaire sporting superstar i could do better than some bimbo with bottle blonde hair and implants

At least the continental footballers seem to be able to manage proper lingerie models not just "glamour" models!

That's one thing the Americans are better at than us imho, they have much better quality WAGs: give me Eva Longoria or Jessica Simpson over any of this lot!
