    So with Fermgale in we have all the answers

    So according to Dermot Keogh's Twentieth Century Ireland FF promised 84,605 jobs but of course that has very little to do with this quiz

    Tomorrow's question will be something completely different again


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 81,190 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sephiroth_dude


    I feel so much better about my answer having seen Ted's 🤣🤣🤣🤣


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,943 ✭✭✭✭the purple tin


    That would have been a gnarly 4-way wipeout only for Teddy Bear. :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,516 ✭✭✭aaronjennings


    I knew that

    Definitely wasn't a random guess plucked out of thin air

    What? No, of course I'm not lying

    How many jobs did they actually deliver? :p

    Was the FF strategy in 1932 to pick such a precise number to make it sound like they had actually done work on job creation rather than just picking a round number which could be dismissed as a soundbite?

    If I were you I'd keep to a low guess on that one. They also promised to drain the Shannon.

    Yes but I needed time to cure the resulting hangover.

    84,605. The 5 at the end were to be odd jobs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,818 ✭✭✭✭Green&Red


    Ya it looked for a long time that BuileBeag, Sephiroth_dude, ShaneU & wrestlemaniac were going to have an epic showdown tomorrow

    Just on that if we do have a tie then the tie needs to be resolved first before the following days result is given, just in the off chance that a person finishes bottom again if that makes sense

    Can just imagine listening to the news on the wireless and hearing Dev go 'we are going to create 84,605 jobs' and me going 'WTF???'
