    Quiet at work today so I've just flicked through last year's thread, laughing out loud quite a few times! :)

    Anyway... ANNOUNCEMENT...

    Think it needs to be annualised!
    And thanks again for a fantastic game, EN, here's to another one next year :)
    Ask and ye shall receive!
    There will be another advent calendar game this year :D

    Thanks en. Hate to be you next December tho...
    ...but yeah, no way I can think of 24 new sheep questions this year, so the format will be a little different. I actually have two ideas so there'll probably be another one next year! I think the one I'm going to go with will be numbers based. Every answer will be a number and your score will be based on how close you are to everyone else's answer

    For example, if it had been last week the question might have been "how many pumpkins are sold in Ireland in October?"

    If so I wouldn't care what the right answer is, but let's say the average of all your answers was 1,900,000. If you guessed 2 million you'd get loads of points. If you guessed 100,000 you'd get hardly any. I'll iron out the detail!

    So yeah, that's it! :D
    I'll get a new thread up in a few weeks, just thought I'd get a little teaser out there to pique your interest!
