Retired taxi driver from Musselburgh did brilliantly last night to pocket a cool £125,000. Would have got the £250,000 question right too had he risked it.
Sported an emerald green jumper. Ok, not everyone who wears emerald green is a Hibbie, but I wondered if he is. Anyone on here know him?
EDIT: I stand corrected on his bail out question which he would have got wrong, like most of us.
I know him well, Ray Mann ex Central driver, retired about 5 years ago
He would have got the 250k wrong no?Quote:

He was great though :agree:
But is he a Hibee :greengrinQuote:

He definitely would have got the £250k question wrong so made the right decision to pass on that one.
Spill the beans then 😉Hibby or not 🤷🏻*♂️Quote:

So what was the question for £250k?
Which country shares the longest land border with Germany?Quote:

Ah yes. It was the boy before him who would have got his last question right.Quote:

He’d used the lifelines by then but his reaction to his sister knowing the answer to an earlier question when he called her was fantastic, he was convinced she wouldn’t have a clue but she knew it right away.Quote:

I can confirm he is a lifelong Hibby. Been going to ER since 1962 and took me to my first game when I was 4 years old.
I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often as well but I think that's the first time I remember seeing someone not read out the full question to their phone a friend.Quote:

He’s been a member at the same golf club as me for a good while. Always let on to him and when the bar was open have had a blether with him now and again. Never until this morning did I know his name!
There's a border between Germany and Austria? :confused:Quote:

It was not one of the options but look at a map and you'll see how hard a question it was. Lots of the borders look a similar length. And there are as many as nine countries with German borders! Taught me how bad my own geography knowledge is. Clockwise from the north - Denmark, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, Netherlands.Quote:

No doubt the garden lawn will be getting an upgrade. 😂
Careful now, you're talking to a (thanx Brexit) German national here :greengrinQuote:
