IT'S no wonder the Irish are targets for micky tacking.
Recently two quiz contestants got the old heave-ho in silly circumstances.
One, up against two Wiganers on 15-1, actually scored 271 before knocking himelf out by taking a question instead of nominating another contestant.
He was a clever guy (apart from the fact that he identified a picture of an Afghan hound as a chihuahua) - but had no common sense.
He was the contestant with the highest losing score ever, and didn't give fellow local finalist Roy Travers a chance.
Another made a bit of a prat of himself by leaving the Irish version of WWTBAM with nothing. He asked the audience to help him name a female rabbit for the £500 question - and 56 per cent of them got it wrong.
