If you’ve argued with your mates down the pub about who scored the winner in the 1972 FA Cup Final*, then radio network talkSPORT, will be able to help you.
Its new text-based Q&A service ‘Ask Terry’ (in partnership with ROK Entertainment Group) apparently features ‘a bloke in a dressing gown with a load of encyclopedias’, according to talkSPORT.
The service works like the daddy of text-based answer services AQA (Any Questions Answered), which gives answers to any question no matter how silly – and you better believe we’ve tried to get it confused or insulted and always got a sensible (sometimes hilarious) answer.
Ask Terry lets listeners text ‘Terry’, with any question, not just sports-related ones, to 81089 (at £1 a time). They’ll then receive a personalised ‘human’ answer from ROK’s panel of experts via SMS, apparently within 10 minutes.
From our experience, text-based Q&A services do indeed reply quickly – but never in the evenings. The reason? We heard that people who organised pub quizzes complained that people were cheating with AQA soon after it launched.
* Oh, and Terry’s answer is, “Allan Clarke of Leeds scored the only goal in the 1972 Cup Final, against Arsenal, with a powerful header from 15 yards out in the 53rd minute. Allan Clarke was known as “Sniffer”, for some reason.â€
