    New week, new sheep - this time we're going to go GLOBAL with lakes and rivers of the world!!

    The premise of Sheep is very simple - I give you a topic and you PM me the answers based on what you think the most popular answer will be.

    No traps or anything in this one, and as always, Google is permitted in Sheep.

    In Alphabet Sheep, you send me on a lake or river for each letter of the alphabet.


    Sounds easy doesn't it? Well, it's not really :P

    The format for newcomers...

    I will present to you a list of the letters of the alphabet and all you have to do is PM me back your list, unnumbered, and unlettered. DO NOT post your list on thread

    The topic of this sheep is World Lakes and Rivers - PM me a list of your answers in alphabetical order.

    Use the below as a template:


    A
    B
    C
    D
    E
    F
    G
    H
    I
    J
    K
    L
    M
    N

    Q
    R
    S
    T
    U
    V
    W

    Signs up are open until Friday, 29th January with Reveal to take place that night.

    Given how the World Cities SHEEP just went, I'll be sticking to Ireland & Britain.

    You must be shocking knowledgeable to have it done so fast.

    You must be shocking knowledgeable to have it done so fast.

    You can use Google for SHEEP (but not for PEEHS as an fyi). Knew stuff off the top of my head for most letters, googled the remaining few. Knowledge has nothing to do with it.

    I'm planning to finalise my list this evening (ie fire up Google for the letters for which I can't think of a single answer :( )


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 146 ✭✭Aidan Harney


    For the record, I took one run through each letter and dropped in the first thought (river or lake related!) that came into my head. Grand sum of 5 mins work. Not too sure how I'll fare versus anyone using Google /the internet!!


    Getting my excuses in early here.....

    I'm impressed you could land every letter.
    I did similar, but in 5 mins I only filled in ~18 I think. Need to look at the others properly later
