    Cities.jpg

    A-Z cities, excluding Ireland and the UK

    You know the drill!
    If you don't... for each letter of the alphabet try to pick the most popular answer. You score a point for everyone who gives the same answer as you

    A quick one. Reveal at 9pm next Thursday. Answers to me by PM before 5pm that day please

    Nice and simple, no traps. But there are 10,000 possible answers :D

    Edit: just to clarify, you may google if you wish, but I don't think you need to (apart from X maybe). The definition of a city doesn't matter, there's no such thing as a wrong answer in sheep, if people agree with you, you score points. Except for Irish or British cities, they'll score zero

    I'll do up a list at some stage tomorrow.

    My tactic is to not think about & hope for another fluke :pac:

    Did all mine off the top of my head quick fire style just as a personal challenge to myself, so quite interested in this. I did use google to get X names cities though.

    Folks, remember, this is excluding Ireland and the UK!

    Couple of slipups already, I've PM'd the offenders but later in the week I may not have time to check everyone's entries

    Yeah, but on the plus side think of all the places you can't visit like Arklow or Athlone. :D

    Strawbs, Ecto, Shane and Collie bring us up to 19

    And the purple tin has submitted a sober revision. It's a lot less entertaining but probably will score better :D
