I was gonna play the lifeline today so worked out well I forgot to PM EN

Electric Nitwit · 05-12-2022 08:31AM

Sticking with the unchristmassy theme, the pictures below all show christmas scenes from films which aren't specifically christmas films

Question 5: name one of the films from the stills below

Electric Nitwit · 05-12-2022 09:44PM

Today's answers:

Edward Scissorhands, LA Confidential, Little Women, Trading Places

Die Hard, You've Got Mail, Batman Returns, Gremlins

Electric Nitwit · 05-12-2022 09:46PM

An incredibly even spread of answers today, with a low triple sheep. Unfortunately Butty didn't get an answer in and Mam picked the wrong Batman film. Not too painful a mistake though

Sorry, I can't work out tables on boards so this looks a mess. I hate vanilla!

I should have guessed you would have picked trading places as well @Posy

Posy · 05-12-2022 09:55PM

Love Trading Places so much. 😁

I couldn't, on principle, pick Die Hard, on account of it being a 100% completely Christmas film and therefore not a valid answer. 😆

Aisling(",) · 06-12-2022 01:35AM

Whoop. I took a risk with gremlins but I thought everyone would think it too obvious and it paid off.

Electric Nitwit · 06-12-2022 08:09AM

Simple one today...

Question 6: name one of Santa's original reindeer (excluding Rudolph)

just to clarify, that's the eight reindeer mentioned in A Visit from St. Nicholas. You know, 'Twas the Night Before Christmas...

Loughc · 06-12-2022 08:53AM

Great question! Great game so far EN!

Posy · 06-12-2022 01:16PM

Aaaargh.

Too. Many. Choices.

Wayhayyy, I'm off the bottom!! 🤩

HildaOgdenx · 06-12-2022 01:25PM

For the films, I only recognised one. 😁

Great game @Electric Nitwit really enjoying it.

HeidiHeidi · 06-12-2022 07:54PM

Same as me, despite having seen most of them - films are so not my thing!!

Electric Nitwit · 06-12-2022 08:04PM

I think everyone in the Christmas forum knew them all :P

Electric Nitwit · 06-12-2022 08:08PM

Let's try pictures for the scores...

Electric Nitwit · 06-12-2022 08:10PM

Which means today's table looks like this...

Electric Nitwit · 07-12-2022 09:32AM

Geography today, and a bit of a trickier one...

Question 7: name a country that contains the letters SANTA (yes, two As)

Electric Nitwit · 07-12-2022 07:06PM

Reminder for @Aisling(",)

Still time, if you're quick 🙂

Aisling(",) · 07-12-2022 07:54PM

Feck I'll throw a guess in but ended up losing my plans today

Electric Nitwit · 07-12-2022 08:07PM

So I believe there are 12 possible answers to this question...

...and all of them were given!

Quite extraordinary work, some very obscure answers, some very low scores...

Electric Nitwit · 07-12-2022 08:07PM

USA is the sheep, but only 6. Barna and Edser pick up some great aces, while our leader Aisling slips up by misspelling Tanzania

Electric Nitwit · 07-12-2022 08:07PM

Which means we have a new leader in guiri. It's all very close at the top though

StrawbsM · 07-12-2022 08:28PM

Don’t forget I’ll be missing the last few days of this so I shouldn’t be classed as a contender for the wooden spoon.

Those 40+ scorers can fight for that title 😂

HildaOgdenx · 07-12-2022 10:29PM

I freeze at anything geography related. I just can't think 😁

Electric Nitwit · 08-12-2022 08:46AM

Back to pictures today, and best selling toys

Question 8: the toys below were each the top sellers one Christmas. Name one

Electric Nitwit · 08-12-2022 07:38PM

Going to be early today as everyone's in and my dinner is in the oven! So, today's answers...

Stretch Armstrong (1976), Optimus Prime (1989, I did accept Transformers), Buzz Lightyear (1996), Tamagotchi (1997)

Furby (2000), Beyblades (2003), Iggle Piggle, from In The Night Garden (2008), Hatchimals (2016)

No one got Hatchimals, but all the others were given. By how many though...?

Electric Nitwit · 08-12-2022 07:40PM

OK, this is getting silly. Great spread again, triple sheep. Good news for aaron and Heidi

Electric Nitwit · 08-12-2022 07:41PM

So still minor shuffling, and very close at the top

Loughc · 08-12-2022 09:50PM

This has been some craic it literally still anyones game really.
