[Open] Welcome back SHEEP!

Electric Nitwit

Boards is back 😀

How about we celebrate with a simple sheep? Someone's got to test the sheepulator on the new boards!

26 questions, one for each letter of the alphabet but otherwise fairly random (and some definitely plagiarised!)

Note: answers do not have to be alphabetical, all answers are valid

If you're new to sheep, think Family Fortunes. You get a point for everyone who gives the same answer as you, so you want the most popular answers

Please PM your answers to me in an unnumbered list

Google is allowed, and there's no wrong answers (except Ireland for Q5)

Deadline TBC - I'm thinking about a week and a half

Right, let's go!

• Name an African country
• Name a Beatles song
• Name a car manufacturer
• Name a famous dog (real or fictitious)
• Name an EU member state, excluding Ireland
• Name a flower
• Name a girl band
• Name a famous Harry
• Name an island off the coast of Ireland
• Name a job you might have had as a teen
• Name a kitchen utensil
• Name a League of Ireland football team
• Name a Marvel Comic Universe character
• Name a nursery rhyme
• Name an Oscar winning director
• Name a President of the USA
• Name a Quentin Tarantino film
• Name a rugby player
• Name a sea creature
• Name a Taoiseach
• Name a U2 song
• Name a vegetable
• Name a World Cup host country (football)
• Name an X-Factor Winner (UK)
• Name a yellow object
• Name a zoo animal

Enjoy! 🙂

Electric Nitwit

Nah, the questions are simple, I just got carried away with how many there are 😂

Congrats on the new job and best of luck.

Loads of time! Looking at the 4th for the reveal, so nearly two weeks yet

ShaneU has brought us up to 20

Necro

In - still sulking about new Boards being useless so haven't had much interest in being on the site recently.

Electric Nitwit

https://boards.ie/discussion/comment/117644952#Comment_117644952

I hear you 😔

I've stopped looking at anything other than FG, plus there seem to be a lot of familiar faces missing from here now. Hopefully they all reappear, would be a real shame to lose any of our community

SineadSpears

I'll get an entry in over the next day or two :)

Congrats on the new job too !! 🥂 😎

Trigger

Ha I read the game wrong initially and thought you had to submit alphabetical answers, and thought ain't nobody got time for that.

I'm in now 😁

My answers are in!!
