I once bought a racehorse by mistake.
Dara Ó BriainWhat had you originally gone into the shop for?
[Dara is given back points unfairly deducted from him in an earlier episode]
Sorry, is he gonna get points for something - and we weren't even there!

Dara Ó BriainI'm okay, 'cos I came on series two, and I mentioned the triple point of water being zero. And in series three I came back, and they said: "Oh no, we've had e-mails, that actually the temperature is 0.01." Right, so I was one hundredth of a degree off on this. And he docked me points! The following year! So I'm happy, I'll take them.
Yes, exactly. What goes around, comes around. [to the other panelists] Don't feel bad. You may get points, next… two years time.
Dara Ó BriainSome day when you least expect it, when you're sitting and having coffee, Stephen will appear and go: [bows] "Some points".
