Glossary:
1 - 'more wilder' is incorrect, it should be 'wilder'.
2 - 'bits and bobs' is a phrase for lots of small things. In this case he is probably meaning that he has been going out to small events here and there, and but not really big nights out.
3 - 'DIY' means Do It Yourself.
4 - 'rough' in this case means 'aggressive'.
5 - 'day bird' would be someone who prefers to do things in the day rather than in the evening or night.
6 - 'wankers' is an offensive term for... hmm... not very nice people! (This comes from the slang verb 'to wank', which is 'to masturbate' - so a wanker would more literally be someone who masturbates, but the insult is not literatal in its usage.)
7 - it is common in English to call someone 'love', regardless of if you even know them, nevermind how much affection of have for them. Although it is more common for females to say when addressing both sexes, and males to say when addressing women, some men with strong Yorkshire (and maybe other, I don't know...) roots will also address other males as 'love'. Just for interest, 'duck' is also commonly heard in Sheffield.
8 - Tony is not addressing just sports fans, and the quiy isn't a sports quiz, but for some reason 'sports fans' has become a phrase - if anyone knows the origin behind this I'd be interested to know!
9 - 'Ta' is a common word for 'thank you'.
10 - 'mate' has become a really common way of informally addressing people, regardless of if the person is a friend or not.
11 - This woman had already ruled out Michael Jackson but was undecided between the other two options. Therefore Tony is saying she had a 50% of getting the answer right when guessing.
12 - 'tough' in this case means 'difficult'.
