    Right folks, this starts tomorrow :)
    Bookmark the page, set your alarms...

    Well, don't set your alarms too early. I'm in Galway and pretty drunk, it may not be early (or it may be tonight) but I promise Q1 will be ready in the morning

    At the moment though, I'm a little...

    Good morning elves!

    December is here, it's time to open up the first door on the Forum Games Sheep Advent Calendar :)

    3hua5d.gif


    First up, how well do you know this famous Christmas story and song?

    9781442474956_p0_v8_s1200x630.jpg

    Question 1:
    Name one of the eight reindeer behind Rudolph



    PM me your answer by 6pm and I'll have the results later this evening

    This is sheep, so you're aiming for the most popular answer, and research is allowed. And, if you're confident of a high score, don't forget you can double today's score by playing your Christmas star. You only have one though, pick your day wisely!

    They have them written on the tills in tescos, weird but helped me!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,398 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    Aaarrgh. I gave a PEEHS answer even when I knew we were playing SHEEP. Which in fairness wasn’t a very low PEEHS answer either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71,799 ✭✭✭✭Ted_YNWA


    I pick the same as a Christmas mod & still get the lowest points. :mad:

    Would have been funny if it was just Posy on Donner tho.
