    I've got 2 coins in my hand that add up to 70p. One of them is NOT a 50p, what are the two coins? (All current UK legal tender)

    Coins can't add up: they are not sentient.

    Irish Bloke on Pointless the other day tried to give an answer the the question “who is head of the Metroploitan Police?”  In a thick Irish accent he said “ I know diss one, I know diss one.......Caressa Dick”.  Armstrong and Osman completely straight batted it and did the old “let’s see if it’s correct” routine while the audience tittered.  Osman than said “the good news is you’ve just won £250 as the video will be on he bloopers show”. It was very funny.
