    Hand on the buzzer is what tony barber used to say. My geography/social science teacher said this when he realised that we had a bit of dirt on him courtesy of another teacher. Not quite the magnitude of Nepals topsoil exports but dirt none the less. We found out through a teacher that CC had jobbed some bloke at touch football the night before. Of course we couldn't wait till next lesson to have a go at him about this. When we did old mate was a bit flustered and quite embarrassed and said Look at you sitting there with your hand on the buzzer. You just couldn't wait to buzz in and have a go. He was probably right too.

    Fun show for an evening...

    Well, I am not a huge fan of game shows, but I must say, this show is actually fun to watch. The way the guests purchase the prizes with their winnings, the slot machines, and working out who will win the big time is fun for the family. Give it a go one night.
