If you applied for a previous series, but were unsuccessful, you are welcome to apply again for this new series. Auditions will be held in regional centres across the UK. All applicants must be aged 18+ and UK Residents.
Go go Bother’s Bar!
Don’t forget at 8pm it’s the UKGameshows.com Festive Fifty freeroll BotherSOP warm-up (featuring proper celebs), and at 9pm Celebrity Big Brother launches.
And here’s a Round One question too esoteric (or, at least, otherwise unsuitable) for the show in question.
What is the connection between:
CHAMPAGNE
Death or Glory 5 pointer here…
Is the connection, they are all seen on the podium at the end of a motor race?
The other three being:-
Flags
Sweaty Overalls
Local dignitaries/politicans/royals with a fixed false grin
It’s not Big Brother related is it?
I’m working the day shift tomorrow so here’s clue two now. Clue three, if it’s needed, soon after getting up at 5am UK time.
What is the connection between:
CHAMPAGNE
LOBSTER
Supermarket Sweep inflatables?

Remember, this is a Question Too Erotic for Only Connect.
What is the connection between:
CHAMPAGNE
LOBSTER
ANAL SEX
(The result is the top answer in most search engines, so please don’t.)
Invented by monks? 😛
Well, that’s another picture round down the drain *rips up script*
They… They all involve… Sphincters? Maybe?
Is it bad that I’m imagining these as Supermarket Sweep inflatables?
And that means I REALLY don’t want to know what the last one is.
Sad news, just announced that bob Holness has died. He was 83.
Shame
I’ve just heard about it myself. Very saddened to hear of Bob’s passing 🙁
Just heard this, very sad news indeed.
RIP please Bob 🙁
Who’s up for a Bothers bar team?
I don’t have any “suitable” friends:(
What is the connection between:
CHAMPAGNE
LOBSTER
ANAL SEX
PICNICS
See, I just love the way that the person who inspired the question ordered these four…
I was going to have another guess (mainly in the interests for a cheap laugh) at it being just another average night in during the late 80’s for Keith Floyd?
I cheated, but the connection is it’a quote from Christopher Hitchens about the 4 most over-rated things in life.
Exactly so.
If a Winston Churchill quote can inspire an OC question, then so can this. (At least, in the Bar for yuks, rather than on TV for real.) The Hitchens quote is much more fun.
I suppose virtually every quote ending in a list of four items is potential fair game these days, though three-part lists are so much more frequent in speechmaking that famous ones are probably fairly few and far between.
