    I can run a cookery game based on Sheep/Peehs at the weekend if people would like.....

    I’d like to run a sheepy heepy oeehsy game using QBs method.

    Everyone gets the answers (numbered) and has to use random number generator to pick which answer to submit. Then to make it more interesting could have something like minus ten points for 3rd most chosen, x2 for second most chosen, 25 bonus points for an ace.

    Summat like that.

    Always up for a bit of Sheep/Peehs - I was thinking like choose 4 ingredients and be given an extra surprise one and see what can be made :o

    Obviously there's some finessing to be done with that idea :pac:

    Just to confirm, you are making lamb chops for everyone?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,864 ✭✭✭Mollyb60


    Yeah, I'd murder someone just for a Boojum at this stage.


    Not sure if its the same down South but in Belfast Boojum are still doing a click and collect for food. 100% essential journey as far as I'm concerned.





    Lads why has no one made a TV show about Jerry Lee Lewis' life? It is BATSH1T INSANE!

    My nearest Boojum is a good half-hour drive away, even if I could doge all the guards, I think I'll just wait until I can "legally" go and get one again. :D

    I may have a look out for that. He even lived in Ireland for 4 years in the 90's. What??? I'm sure there's a 5 season HBO series in his life.


  • Posts: 13,839 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I don’t like burritos. Don’t get the attraction at all at all.

    Tried in Australia, wasn’t impressed. Tried again when a place opened near home which confirmed my dislike.


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    Didn't know about him living in Ireland.

    There was a film made in 1989 starring Dennis Quaid as Jerry Lee, Great Balls of Fire

    Now I want a burrito but I have already done the shopping and food plan for the week :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,453 ✭✭✭fixXxer


    Quiet morning here. Trying to figure out how an Animal Crossing WW game would work.

    Ditto. So close yet so far.

    My burrito buddy in work has agreed as soon as we can, we will be going on a burrito mission. Come on Leo....help a brother out....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,994 ✭✭✭sullivlo


    Could we try a zoom WW some evening?


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    I'd be up for that!

    Good idea


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,994 ✭✭✭sullivlo


    Oh and given that we're sharing food: http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/27827/keema-with-beef--pork-and-egg.aspx

    I made this the other day. Served it with naan but it would be equally delicious with the flatbread I posted.

    Is there a way we could use the game generator on discord/popcorn to assign roles and then just use zoom to play?


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    Yeah, that'd work. If anyone who wanted to play w.ined and we started and everyone got their role by Discord, but instead of typing our accusations we revert to camera and pointing fingers. The vig could either use Discord to shoot, or we could just assume that anyone shot will be honest with the roles they were given so we could ignore Discord once it had started.

    Or, we could use Necro's cards as inspiration. A game mod wouldn't need physical cards, just something to randomise, and a way to let each person know their role privately. More complex for sure, but maybe a PM here or on Discord would work.


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    Sure, at beers we kinda make it up as we go along anyway, so we could do the same on Zoom. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Suggest we start a dedicated thread :)

    Great idea, just did a quiz with some mates last night over Zoom which was quite fun despite my own trepidation initially

    My boss video called me yesterday out of the blue. No makeup, greasy hair, cat hair covered clothes, sitting on my couch. I was not best pleased.
