Green&Red · 24-05-2019 12:19pm #1

Disgusted with how things have been going I've decided to run my own competition. So most common answer is best. All questions should be answerable (;););))

Reveal will be Sunday evening, form closing at 6pm and answers closely afterwards. PM please

1. Name an MEP candidate
2. The Rossies (Edit:Roscommon natives), I think we can all agree we don't like them, but name one
3. Name a chocolate bar
4. Name an Oasis song
5. Name a Mayo footballer currently playing
6. Name a Taoiseach
7. Name a city the Olympics were held in
8. Name a country on the European mainland
9. Name a US president from before 1900
10. Click on topics on boards and name one

As per always no google

What are The Rossies ?

kitten_k · 24-05-2019 12:29pm

Considering I don't know what The Rossies are or anything about Mayo football - this should be fun!

Mollyb60 · 24-05-2019 12:30pm

Is question 1 an all-Ireland question or are you just looking at the Republic?

Ha same here Kitten !

osh · 24-05-2019 12:30pm

Yeah I'd even prefer the nicolas cage question to those two given I can at least guess that!

Mollyb60 · 24-05-2019 12:34pm

Oh this is MOST common, not least common. Good to note.

Green&Red · 24-05-2019 12:52pm

MEP in Republic

and the Rossies are Roscommon people

Mollyb60 · 24-05-2019 1:00pm

This is discriminatory. I live in the North. I don't know any MEP candidates from Mexico.

Nor do many south of the border

handlemaster · 24-05-2019 1:03pm

From Wiki, famous Ross people there are a few ...

<Modsnip>

Modnote: Will check in with GNR to see if he wants that list allowed or not.

Mollyb60 · 24-05-2019 1:04pm

Um.........not sure if that's allowed doode.

Well no one is gonna know any of the ones from up here anyway so I might as well concede defeat on this question!

And I saw people on that list of Roscommon people that was posted, so should I just not include an answer for that question or what?

I'm not sure you quite understand the point of this game. Have you read the OP at all?

Up to GNR imo. No guarantees you'll pick the most popular one at all

osh · 24-05-2019 1:14pm

Happy not to do it, but I don't think it's too big an issue googling or not with the normal sheep rules. With peehs its obviously needed.

Yeah but GNR specifically said no googling in the OP. So i'd always go by what the mod says (whether I agree or not).

Necro · 24-05-2019 1:20pm

Anyways I've sent my entries. And I didn't google.

Being from the Wesht helps sometimes

osh · 24-05-2019 1:21pm

Well firstly he's not a mod

But yeah I agree, and I'm not googling.

No idea of mayo footballers mind

The mod said to do what GNR says.

Entry sent

Kolido · 24-05-2019 1:51pm

Pm sent.

Might need to make them a but more generic, I mean how is a guy from Donegal, living in Slovakia, going to know a Mayo footballer?

Also, the olympics question, summer games or winter?

PM sent and I thought I was doing well until that Mayo question came up but yeah I too did the exact same as you. Was chuffed I knew a (single solitary) famous Roscommon fellah, was surprised that I knew an MEP candidate after only this week reading about it and recognizing one name from other elections years ago but suffice to say that Mayo's footballing feats don't get much love from the media here in Taiwan for some reason
