Alphabet Sheep - World Cities

Electric Nitwit

A-Z cities, excluding Ireland and the UK

You know the drill!
If you don't... for each letter of the alphabet try to pick the most popular answer. You score a point for everyone who gives the same answer as you

A quick one. Reveal at 9pm next Thursday. Answers to me by PM before 5pm that day please

Nice and simple, no traps. But there are 10,000 possible answers

Edit: just to clarify, you may google if you wish, but I don't think you need to (apart from X maybe). The definition of a city doesn't matter, there's no such thing as a wrong answer in sheep, if people agree with you, you score points. Except for Irish or British cities, they'll score zero

Yaaaay!!!

My tactic is to not think about & hope for another fluke :pac:

Damn you and your brilliant wordplay, didn't think of that!

Omackeral

Did all mine off the top of my head quick fire style just as a personal challenge to myself, so quite interested in this. I did use google to get X names cities though.

Electric Nitwit

Folks, remember, this is excluding Ireland and the UK!

Couple of slipups already, I've PM'd the offenders but later in the week I may not have time to check everyone's entries

Yeah, but on the plus side think of all the places you can't visit like Arklow or Athlone.

I skip the A’s so.

B for Bundoran it is

Electric Nitwit

Strawbs, Ecto, Shane and Collie bring us up to 19

And the purple tin has submitted a sober revision. It's a lot less entertaining but probably will score better

When's the deadline again??

I have a very quick first rough draft done, want to see if I can improve on it a bit.... (for all the good that's likely to do me!!)

The key question is will you beat Necro's total of 40 contestants (which included him - so 39, if you like!) for his Alphabet Trapper Files??

Ah, that doesn't matter, there's no competition bergen me and Necro, just happy to have a few people on board.

Of course, if I don't...

The champ has just entered.

Best of luck to second place and the spooner.

I thought Belfast, Cork, Dublin, Galway and London would have been monster sheep otherwise. Probably true for Edinburgh, Liverpool, Manchester too

Pawwed Rig

Alot of cities begin with M and L and B for some reason.

Did mine sans internet so hopefully didn't make too much of a mess. I was nearly putting in Quirm* for Q until I thought of a real city :pac:

I'd allow it. And Ankh-Morpork and Pseudopolis too.
