Des Lynam was on it. He declared GASED thinking it was GASSED.

At which point all the other punters GASED when really they should have GASPED?

How did Des Lynam ever become host if he thought GASSED was a 5-letter word?

They don't base presenting skills on counting the number of letters in a word, Jason.

No, he didn't. I don't think it came up in the interview. Question: What makes you a good candidate for this post? Answer: I'm a good presenter but I think GASSED is a 5 letter word.

Jason, can you tell me why you think I would be talking about myself? Quiz question for you, Jason: See if you can see what word in my post above gives a hint as to who I'm talking about.

He used the letter 'I' 14 times. That's a fairly big clue that he's talking about himself.

Err, yeah I did. I used "he" which is a pronoun. I also replied to your quote about Des Lynam, so clearly I was talking about Des.
