ElephantS!! The Second Part - REVEAL

    Elephant is a sheep game where the start of the next word must begin with the end letter of the word before.

    c0635ff0000f897ecef86bcd2aa5cd49.jpg

    Like a line of elephants walking along holding each other, trunk to tail. The Elephants get upset if their tails are not being held.

    e.g.

    elephanT
    TigeR
    RhinO
    OctopuS
    Seal


    Simple enough, but it can end up being a total train wreck. Once you step off the path, getting back on again can be a mind****.... not that there is any set path :)

    What you had to do was connect the tails for these set of questions....


    *Thanks to Rikand for the intro ;) *


    1. A European country
    2. A breed of cattle
    3. An English Premier League team
    4. A TV show
    5. A Covid-19 Vaccine
    6. A snooker ball colour
    7. A 90s song
    8. A capital city
    9. A Stephen King novel
    10. A game played on Forum Games


    So how did you find it? Was it a headwreck that caused homicidal rage towards the host like BuileBeag, davetherave, Trigger or cee_jay perhaps?

    Or was it a breeze to fly through like LeVar, Zaph and aaronjennings claim?

    Time will tell I suppose.

    See you all at 7pm for the reveal, don't forget the elephant gifs :D

    Heffalumps are such cool animals :)
    There are only 400,000 left in the world and poachers kill about 100 of them every day.
    They reckon in 15-20 years the only ones left will be in captivity :(:(:(

    Well it's a given that they will make mincemeat outta me anyway.
    If anyone has heard of my TV show before (me included) I'll eat my hat.

    Which one was the hardest to fit into the chain for you folks?

    Was it the TV show perhaps? Or maybe it was the football team...

    Not long to go to find out anyways.

    My own answers will be revealed with each question :)

    I saw on a show last week that there are hundreds of covid vaccines but they only list the usual suspects online which screwed up my list :mad:

    The only vaccine that ended with a letter that was one of the colours of the snooker balls was Pfizer & Red, so I worked from there, forwards and backwards. TV show was difficult finding one ending in P for Pfizer that also began with a football team.

    Some stayed at home, following government guidelines of course ;)

    Some went to the 'Dam and donned some clogs for some dancing...
