    Did I miss most of the first half of the Leeds game because I was searching for TV shows that end in a letter that pretty much no TV show ends in?

    A toast to your TV show walrus which I used to try answer the TV show question!

    @Trigger - glad you like it - it was my last day in my old job yesterday, and at my goodbye WebEx call, 2 of the team said the thing they had to thank me for most was getting them watching Schitt's Creek :D We then went on to wax lyrical about it so I hope we got a few more converts!

    Best of luck in your new role! You're not Necro's new boss are ya! They are starting Monday :pac:

    I wouldn't use that to get an answer, it was my first port of call, but quickly realised it'll only send you barking down the wrong tree.

    Disregard this reply, I just thought of something earlier in the chain that might allow things to work, and leave me with an even better more obvious and more satisfying set of answers than I already had...

    Anything I said previously is IrrElephant (see what I did there) now, as I've changed my answers, but for reasons of sibling rivalry, I wouldn't help anyway...

    And they've gotta learn to survive on their own at some point... :pac:

    Does flirting get me extra points?

    And football teams - full names or well-used nicknames, or whatever we want?

    To be honest, I don't understand this game. How is everyone's answer not just going to end up as an ace with a 15 way tie for the top (or bottom)?

    Well there's at least two questions that have to have fairly big sheepy answers..... it's where people go from there is the interesting bit!

    Well there are two answers in a row that can only have one specific answer as far as I can see. I could be wrong though.
    This raises two possibillities:
    1. Setting those questions together was a complete fluke, mere happenstance.
    2. Necro is an evil genius who purposely crafted those questions with the aim of driving us all round the twist.


    I know which option I believe ;)

    Ah stop the lights!
    I had to redo it coz I picked an 80s song instead of 90s and didn't realise till the end.

    Then when I finally sent it in Necs pointed out that I forgot the covid question so I had to redo the whole bleedin thing again.

    I just realised that I played this under the impression that the last letter of the last answer had to be the same as the first letter of the first answer but that isn't the case, is it?
