    Disgusted with how things have been going I've decided to run my own competition. So most common answer is best. All questions should be answerable (;););))


    Reveal will be Sunday evening, form closing at 6pm and answers closely afterwards. PM please


    1. Name an MEP candidate
    2. The Rossies (Edit:Roscommon natives), I think we can all agree we don't like them, but name one
    3. Name a chocolate bar
    4. Name an Oasis song
    5. Name a Mayo footballer currently playing
    6. Name a Taoiseach
    7. Name a city the Olympics were held in
    8. Name a country on the European mainland
    9. Name a US president from before 1900
    10. Click on topics on boards and name one

    Considering I don't know what The Rossies are or anything about Mayo football - this should be fun!

    Is question 1 an all-Ireland question or are you just looking at the Republic?

    This is discriminatory. I live in the North. I don't know any MEP candidates from Mexico.

    Well no one is gonna know any of the ones from up here anyway so I might as well concede defeat on this question!

    And I saw people on that list of Roscommon people that was posted, so should I just not include an answer for that question or what?

    Yeah but GNR specifically said no googling in the OP. So i'd always go by what the mod says (whether I agree or not).

    Pm sent.

    Might need to make them a but more generic, I mean how is a guy from Donegal, living in Slovakia, going to know a Mayo footballer? :D

    Also, the olympics question, summer games or winter?
