    Ah FFS 🙄

    Right, I'm thinking of going back to the start, treating this as my own private SHEEP game, and absolutely trouncing you all!

    I didn't know who half these Mary's were. Limited choices but at least I gave a right answer this time!

    Trickier today, here's the answers...

    Untitled Image


    Joe Biden, Joseph Wiseman (played Dr No), Joe Strummer, Joe Pesci

    Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Joseph Plunkett (one of the leaders of the Easter Uprising), Joey Carbery, Joe Duffy

    Fairly large sheep on the way...

    Big sheep for Joe Biden, and Joe Pesci is hot on his heels. Edser and Trigger pick up a couple of very nice aces. I suspect more people knew Joey Carbery, but Edser getting joseph Wiseman is very impressive.

    According to an earlier Forum of Games game, the mostly Christmassy sweets are Quality Street, so a simple question today

    Question 14: name a sweet in a tub of Quality Street

    (I'll have to be strict on you getting the name right)

    It's a very even spread of answers again today with the sheep only scoring 4, so even the incorrect or missed answers are only worth 6. It's a nice ace for Aisling with Orange Creme

    guiri now takes the outright lead, but BuileBeag is only a point behind. Edser went awol but manages to hold on to a podium place...

    Today, we turn to TV, and Christmas specials

    Question 15: name one of the TV series from the Christmas specials shown below...

    Today's answers...

    Friends, Blackadder, The Royle Family, Community

    The Office, Black Mirror, Dr Who, Father Ted

    Every answer was given, but by how many people...?

    The Office is a fairly large sheep, including our current leader, guiri

    16 people then score 4 points!

    Posy and Necro do best, with just 2 points each for Blackadder

    guiri's sheep means that, fresh from her victory in round three of Necro's epic last night, BuileBeag is our new leader!

    The pack isn't far behind though

    Strawbs is starting to look a little adrift at the bottom but, unlike Butty, still has a lifeline...

    How do these lifelines work again?

    Now that I've dragged myself up off the bottom again, the competitive instinct is beginning to kick in (ever so slightly, and utterly in vain!)

    Any day you can play your lifeline and just score one point. If you forget to enter one day, I'll play it automatically for you

    As everyone loved it so much last time, let's have another geography question! Closer to home this time though, Irish counties...

    Question 16: name one of the 32 counties which contains none of the letters in ELF.

    So Dublin would be incorrect, as it has an L in it
