Accidentally pasted my list here and had to delete it. Too early for spoilers.

Opening up the 2022 thread.

I've spent this afternoon on the Diffney one, yet to view the Hollybough one. I'm missing 26, 30, 35, 39, 41, 54 & 55.

Happy to share answers with anyone but want to spend a bit more time with it 1st.

Gaspode · 01-12-2022 9:33pm

Are there 2 different versions of the Diffneys quiz?

0strich · 01-12-2022 9:50pm

There's the original one released by Diffney menswear each year.

They also produce one for The Hollybough (a festive magazine released by the Evening Echo each year). This version has a big cash prize as far as I know. Lot of the clues are Cork based.
