Stupid interview questions

[Lillian Thomson]

I'm not sure that this necessarily has much mileage but I've been sifting through a load of old VHS tapes for any snippets of cricket that I might have recorded and found a bit of an interview between Steve Ryder and Jeff Thomson after the 1999 World Cup. Steve Ryder to Jeff Thomson "Are you a bit disappointed that Australia didn't win with more style?" They had just won by 8 wickets at about 3 O'clock in the afternoon with 30 overs to spare. Jeff Thomson had just replied "I don't know how you can say that.......". He had more to say but my tape cut to the Brookside Omnibus so I don't know the rest of his reply. The berk deserved two black eyes.

"You must be pleased to have won?", and all derivatives thereof, ought to be banned. Pretty much the most inane question going.

What was happening on Brookside at that point?

What was happening on Brookside at that point?

I fast-forwarded through it, but it looked as though Susannah Farnham was trying to seduce her ex-husband Max.

 

[GIMH]

Ah good old Max

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Ah good old Max

I lost all respect for Max when he got Jackie Dixon pregnant using a turkey baster.

 

[Riggins]

I got asked what 49 x 51 was in an interview the other day. That was pretty stupid.

 

[indiaholic]

Managed to solve it?

 

[Riggins]

nah had a squiffy moment and was off by 2.

Did you record that episode?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Surely the Gatting one is the stupidest question ever.

Just out of interest, and not being a very good cook, what do you actually baste turkeys with?

 

[Jono]

The worst interview questions are the ones that are not questions at all, just statements by the interviewer followed by shoving the mic to the player/coach.

"You must be happy/disappointed with today's result".

Unfortunately most of it was left to the imagination. I'd no wish to see him fill it, but all you saw of her was entering the bathroom carrying it. I know she was only being a surrogate mother, but why he didn't just shag her I don't know. It would have been much easier and it wasn't as if the rest of the close hadn't been there already.

What are your views on Clare Sweeney?

I always preferred Claire Rayner.

Did she ever reply to your letters?

I remember hearing someone on Test Match Special during the Oval Test 2005 ask "Why does Shane Warne bowl slower than everyone else?"

Turkey juice.
