Just A Minute

That irritates me too, sometimes.  I think that, in general, the bonus points system is a much fairer way of doing it that the way Nicholas used to do it (awarding both the point and the subject to someone if the challenge was clever enough, even if it wasn't correct), but I think he's been abusing the power more and more as time goes on.  Still, I suppose if it give people incentive to try and be funny, then it's not really a bad thing.  I do think that people should be docked a point for asking for one, though.

that's something that downright annoys me nowadays, because before people would ask for a point and Nicholas wouldn't give them any points even though they deserved them, but this just proves that it seems that all you have to do is sneeze and you get a bonus point, you don't have to say anything even remotely intelligent or clever.

And another for when he gets a point just because he asked for one.

We've got to have a drink whenever Clement buzzes just to say "hello".
