You do realise that by posting answers on-line you are reducing your chances of winning - winners from a hat please.... I've never actually entered that quiz - have wrecked my head figuring out the answers but never entered - I must be mentally unbalanced.

mickot · 06-01-2005 3:08pm

Eh,
B, D P D 9

Beaumont, Dublin Postal District 9 ??

I wreck my head with this every year and don't enter it either!!!

PS I haven't inked in the above on my sheet yet !!

Ballymun - Spread over D9 and D11 - but it listed as D9 for the main st. - goes with the A, DPC 5 from last year - Artane, Dublin Postal code 5 - think it's right but there you go - it's all relative - you could all be seeing something completely different!

Basq · 06-01-2005 3:32pm

The only ones i want are:

11. N 9, R S H (looks like most people are stumped on this!)
17. the 9 M (can't believe i can't get this, should be easy!)
53. B, D P D 9 (you think that 'Beaumont, Dublin Postal District 9' is right?)

Cheers!

EDIT: Am willing to share any other ones ye require.

StupidLikeAFox · 06-01-2005 3:38pm

after 11 and 17 i only need
52. the 6 M D M, and
19. 10 E in the D
