The premise of SHEEP is very simple - I give you a list of questions and you PM me the answers based on what you think the most popular answer will be.
As it is my first time conducting one of these orchestras, I'm going to keep it nice and simple, so no traps or any other gimmicks, and as always, Google is permitted in SHEEP.
SIGNUPS WILL CLOSE AT 23:59 ON SUNDAY 28th of FEBRUARY. Reveal will take place on Monday March 1st (time to be confirmed).

I never said I didn't skew old school too... Been watching soaps my entire life, my Ma raised me on soaps, that's nearly 34 years to choose from...

Cool, but don't worry, you only need to post 15 years of storylines so we can all catch up on whats been happening in the shows

I usually get paid to go through the history of each soap. My consultancy fee is a very reasonable €2000* for a 5 day refresher workshop.
*actual amount I've been paid to literally do just that...0 -

That's the type of "motivational" jargon governments and corporations coin to keep the masses enslaved.
You can like (or even love) your job all you want, but the moment you stop thinking of it as work, you've merely become another cog in the machine ; a compliant victim of society, doing what Big Brother wants you to do.
Never lose sight of the fact we're all at their mercy, and rage against the machine at every opportunity... 0 -

Old school answers here too.
I'm sure the number of murders in soaps must be huge but I went with the one that I always remember.
I don't think my car would pass the NCT after being in any of those garages. They never do very much, they have too much drama going in in their lives. 0 -

Does this mean a famous person who appeared as themselves, or playing a character?
It can be either

I probably should have outlined that in the OP.
If anyone wants to change their answer just PM me.0 -

Ah no my job pays p1ss for the work you have to do. & it can be quite challenging at times, but I bounce out the door every time I've a shift.
Love the other staff & I feel like I'm going to meet up with mates. There is a lot of face to face interacting & I feel like I'm being paid (pittance) to basically chat all day so it suits me 0 -

My 'muriel'...
Hilda was brilliant. Such a credible character. Great actress.
It was always entertaining to see Jean Alexander (RIP) being interviewed and hearing her speak. She was so refined and gentle.
Especially compared to Hilda. Remember her singing! 0 -
Strawberry Milkshake wrote: »What? Do you not remember the ducks???
Is that the Duckworths? Or did Hilda have pet duck or something?
Hilda seems to have left the show(to join Boards.ie) in 1987 so I don't know her.
Seems she was quite a significant character so I very well may be in trouble here :pac:0 -

Hilda came back for a final one-off appearance in 1990, but she was mentioned for years after that. Betty and Emily Bishop used to go to stay with her sometimes.0 -
