Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

UK vs USA - Sheep
-
08-02-2021 2:23pm#1It's a cross-Atlantic battle in this game of Sheep, as our near neighbours to the east go head-to-head against 'Murica across the pond
Please answer the following questions, and send an un-numbered list of your answers to me by PM:
1. A city in the UK (not London)
2. A city in the USA (not New York)
3. A county in the UK beginning with the letter S
4. A state in the USA beginning with the letter M
5. A prime minister of the UK (1960-2000)
6. A president of the USA (1960-2000)
7. A team who has won the English Premier League (1995-2020)
8. A team who had won the Super Bowl (2010-2020)
9. A TV show based in London
10. A TV show based in New York
11. A famous building or landmark in the UK
12. A famous building or landmark in the USA
13. A UK singer/band who had a #1 song from 2018-2020
14. A USA singer/band who had a #1 song in 2020
15. A word that can either follow the word ‘British’ or ‘English’
16. A word that can follow the word ‘American’
(e.g., if I asked for a word that can follow the word ‘Irish’, you could say Irish Independent, Irish Sea, Irish wolfhound, etc.)
Note: I would also like you to nominate one of your answers which you think will definitely Sheep. Bonus points will be awarded if you are correct, but be warned, because points will be deducted if you are wrong, so choose carefully :P
This is Sheep, so Google is allowed
I don't have a fixed date for the reveal in mind, I'll pencil it in for 2 weeks from now and we'll see how things go
Good luck

Like I said, points will be deducted if you are wrong, so I woud just hand out the maximum point deduction by default

Do the No. 1 songs have to be in the UK and USA charts? I.e. UK artist in UK charts, US artist in USA charts?
ETA: nevermind, actually I don't think it really matters 0 -

I'm in too. I think you'll find that I have the correct answers
Ah, but it's a SHEEP, so you need the rest of us to have the correct answers as well

'This is Sheep, so Google is allowed'
Just as well, because my knowledge of either the Super Bowl or the English Premier League would fit on a postage stamp and there would be space left over 0 -

I see. Never seen it before. Thought it was cool & showed it to the boss of the house earlier & he was like 'yeah thats the superbowl thats just been won by so & so mam, its all over Tik Tok'. 0 -
And with Zaph's entry less than an hour ago, we are already up to 30 participants
With the number of sign-ups much higher than I expected, I'm going to close sign-ups next Tuesday at 6pm, with the reveal taking place the following day. So if anyone plans on getting an entry in, you still have plenty of time 0 -

With all the interest lately in Sheeps and all the newer participants and others who have lately returned to this area of the Forum Games, you could have about 60 by then! 0 -

You should be crueller... they deserve to get their penalty points... it's a reward for those of us who read the OP properly...
