I was terrified that God awful ****e they sing at the Rugby was going to Sheep. From a musical point of view rather than for the game.

Well played, folks.

Close contest and I'd rather Builebeag with her Irish name had won because it would have been fitting!

Screw you and your master sheparding Homer J. Fong! :P

Congratulations to yozico on a podium place and aspiewriter for the wooden spoon.

Danke everyone for playing.

Congrats Homer!

I felt dirty submitting Bono as my final answer, and dirtier still that he shepped so much.

Not surprised he sheeped although my own selection was an ace. Years ago when you went abroad and the locals heard you were Irish they’d be dying to tell you how much they loved U2 and asking had you ever met Bono. Nowadays it’s Conor McGregor

I know which one I’d prefer my country to be associated with.

Couldn't bring myself to write Bono for that last answer, and knocked myself out of the Top 10 as a result. At least I can hold my head high and maintain the moral victory, on that last one anyway.

Great reveal Reberetta (give or take the boards shut down causing a massive pause in proceedings)

Well done Homer... again... ya boll**ks!
