We used to like pointless, but the childish banter between the presenters is starting to ruin the show for us. Has anyone else noticed it and/or annoyed by it. Or is it us just getting grumpy.

Getting back to the OP , at least Alex and Richard ( I am on first name terms with them !) are pleasant to the contestants even if the banter is a bit lame.I agree with the poster who said that Richard's show is better, though have forgotten what it's called.Richard is the more confident and comfortable of the two it seems to me, Alex not quite as happy in the role.

I've never been keen on AA. He always seems unbearably smug! grin

It was common on a game site I was on, but perpetrators were soon discovered and banned for life from using the particular IP address. They may even be able to identify the MAC address which uniquely identifies every PC or internet connected device in the world. This is how the police can find stolen equipment, as soon as it is connected to the internet, it's MAC address is transmitted.

it's a techie world isn't it?I am in the Stone Age still.Years ago when the children were teenagers, they had this game, they assigned people 'fantasy jobs' so their Dad ( who is a slow and careful driver) became a getaway driver from a gang, and I, who was struggling to get to grips at the time on our old computer and learning to do email, became a computer hacker! this gave them great amusement. grin
