    I was toying (!) with saying tamagochi and beating myself up for not, but then I realised it would have made no difference to my score anyway! 😂

    That's what I was going to go for! I only recognised three of them, and it turns out one of those was wrong...... I think I dodged a bullet there!!

    Morning all

    Today, I'm thinking about food. Neven Maguire (Irish Celebrity Chef, according to Wikipedia!) has a book in which he gives a christmas pudding recipe that was handed down to him. "In my opinion, no one makes Christmas pudding as good as my Auntie Maureen"

    Question 9: Give one ingredient in the Christmas pudding recipe in Neven Maguire's Perfect Irish Christmas

    I've never seen a pudding being made, made a pudding or eaten a pudding so this is going to be a pure guess!

    I've never eaten one (yuk) but I have made them, and Christmas cakes, back when I could be bothered. 😂

    I only eat the pudding my mammy makes, so will have to guess as regards Neven's auntie's version 😁

    Fairly big sheep for the safe bet of flour. It's bad luck for Sephi and Heidi as there's no brandy or cherries included. Mutley, Shane and Barna pick up some great aces

    Which means new leaders, as DvB and Shane leapfrog guiri

    😱

    WTAF??

    A Christmas pudding with no cherries??????

    I mean, I'm a big fan of Neven, but I might just have to reconsider.....

    (I wouldn't mind, but my initial first instinct was mixed peel 🙄)

    Music today. Fun fact: from 2006 to 2013, every Irish Christmas number one came from the winning contestant of that year's series of the British X Factor. So, of course...

    Question 10: name one of these X Factor winners who had an Irish Christmas number one...

    Sticking to the music theme today, and another pointless favourite, anagrams! Anagrams of Christmas carols to be precise. For example, JILL BEGS LEN would be Jingle Bells

    Question 11: give one of the Christmas carols from the anagrams below...

    That sees Guiri reclaim the lead, but there's still only 5pts separating the top ten:
