This was the hardest question so far. I cannot see how I will do well this time around and I’m low enough on the leader board as it is -I’m fecked

I don't think it could be any worse than my pick tbh , I shall be absent for the reveal so ye won't see this face

Zaph

I immediately thought of two Marys. Went with what I think is the more likely one and haven't thought of any more since. Well other than someone I used to work with, but I doubt she's an answer.

Cathmandooo

Ah God yis have me all nervous now, I was quietly confident with my Mary, not anymore

I had a list of 5, the first one I thought of was the one I went with.

It's hard to climb that table, that damn turkey killed me :pac:

Tauriel

I went with the first one that popped into my head but as I was submitting my pm, I thought of another Mary. I also thought of a third Mary during lunch.

tusk

5 hours later and I still haven't thought of another mary

Siobh73

I went for my second thought too.....fingers crossed

Cork Lass

It will be interesting to see all the famous Marys

Daniel's just collecting his tux from the dry cleaners, he's excited about the prize ceremony later

aaronjennings

I thought of about half a dozen potentials, but when I Googled one of them because I couldn't remember her surname, it threw up a 7th option I'd completely forgotten about, and went with her instead

Electric Nitwit

OK folks, all the answers are in!

Well this was more controversial than I thought it would be

A few answers given. One of these sheeped, one aced. Who did you go for?



I will do the reveal at 5pm

No changes now, so feel free to run with Strawbs suggestion

I think we should name all our Mary’s just before the reveal.

Then say a Hail Mary (we cant pick her) and hope we guessed correctly:D

Cathmandooo

Mary Berry :eek::eek::eek:

Oh god how did I not think of Mary Berry

sKeith

thought black first, went with 2nd, robinson.

Cathmandooo

I went with Mary J Blige

I had Robinson, McAleese, McEvoy and Mary Mary Quite Contrary on my list

Didn't think of Mary Poppins either, scarlet for myself :pac:

ah jaysis, how did I forget some of these Marys??!!

Loads there I didn’t think of

My order

Mary Robinson
Mary McAleese
Mary Berry
Mary Magdalene
Proud Mary
Mary Lou McDonald

quickbeam

Was gonna go with Robinson but I thought our younger demographic would go with McAleese so I went there.

Kolido

Mary poppins ftw

Necro

I thought everyone's fave lady of the night would be popular tbh, Mary of the Magdalene tribe

Mary Mary Quite Contrary :

Love it:D

aaronjennings

Completely forgot Robinson and McAleese

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Was thinking my best bet might be Robinson or McAleese, but went with Mary Black thinking it might be the safest bet to sheep rather than splitting between the two presidents.

Didn't even think of Poppins though, that's a great one. Damn it! This one was hard.

I've listened to a lot of Mary J Blige today

Cathmandooo also mentioned this classic, which really should have been included in Kolido's One Hit Wonder comp...

A selection of the mental breakdowns and personal abuse I received

So many Marys!

There are no famous Mary's!!!!

Jaysus this is a hard one. There’s more Mary’s than grains of sand.

Ye see this is just ****ing with us now....I bet you make your parents very proud lol

You make the Grinch look like a Christmas lover. Mary Black is the first name Google gives me , going by the Deja-rule I should go for Mary White (who is a actually a neighbour of mine!! - don't think she is boards famous though)

Eh, f**k, not a clue what to do here... the first few that sprung to mind were Mary Black, Mary Robinson, Mary McAleese, Mary Berry, and Mary Lou McDonald... Probably missing someone completely obvious

Obviously Mary Robinson is the only answer here right? What other Mary's are there apart from McAleese? But she's the lesser former Irish president named Mary. Like seriously? Mary Brady? Is that even a person? Ohhhhhhhhhhh I googled. There's lots of Mary's. Jasus. This is a tough question. I am a terrible Mary. But sure lookit. Phil Collins shares a birthday with me and that's all that matters. :cool:

I was going to say Mary, Queen of Scots, but then I Googled who your one was who complained to the BBC in the 80s (Mary Whitehouse), and it turned up Mary Berry as a related search, and now I don't know which to pick...

Electric Nitwit

Right, here's the scores!

It's like we're back in the 90s - Mary Robinson sheeps with Mary Black hot on her heels. A good selection behind them and an unfortunate ace for Mary J Blige

Or your second, Mary Whitehouse

Kolido

Booboo, your tactic doesnt work, I was going mary robinson first

Tauriel

I was thinking of Mary J Blige, Mary Read (infamous pirate) and Mary McCormack.

I'm ashamed to say I completely forgot about the 3 Mary's from Irish politics.

Necro

No one picked Mary from John and Mary in Father Ted either
