    And the purple tin has submitted a sober revision. It's a lot less entertaining but probably will score better :D

    I have a very quick first rough draft done, want to see if I can improve on it a bit.... (for all the good that's likely to do me!!)

    The key question is will you beat Necro's total of 40 contestants (which included him - so 39, if you like!) for his Alphabet Trapper Files??

    Ah, that doesn't matter, there's no competition bergen me and Necro, just happy to have a few people on board.

    Of course, if I don't...

    I thought Belfast, Cork, Dublin, Galway and London would have been monster sheep otherwise. Probably true for Edinburgh, Liverpool, Manchester too

    Alot of cities begin with M and L and B for some reason.

    Did mine sans internet so hopefully didn't make too much of a mess. I was nearly putting in Quirm* for Q until I thought of a real city :pac:

    A great way to challenge yourself I think. I did the same myself but had to get Google out for X admittedly.

    Without the internet is the best way to go, usually if a city jumps to mind, it will jump to most peoples mind :)

    for X - It happened that my best friend was in my home when I was answering this and he has been to China, so he gave me an answer.
    for U - I could only think of one city and that got the nomination
    I had to google Q - as I couldn't think of a single city - never mind the fact that I completely forgot to send an answer for Q in the first place - for the second sheep in a row :o

    For the last time, Kilkenny isn't a city, it's a large suburb of Waterford. :D

    The only connection I have with Kilkenny is I lived with a guy from there when I was at college. Nice chap but rather strange. :)
