NEW GAME! Boxing Sheep II 05/07 Deadline 1:30pm

New thread as the other one is locked.

Anyone ever play sheep? Basically I'll ask a series of "mainly boxing" related questions and the aim is to answer with the most popular answer. So for example if I asked name a heavyweight champion and 7 people said Ali they would get 7 points. If 5 said Louis they would get 5 points and so on. Whoever gets the most points wins. You would PM me your answers. I've seen it played on other forums and it seems to work well and passes some time.
Seems to be a bit of interest so we'll go again.

I have included the odd non boxing question to jazz it up a bit.

Name a country in South America
Name a country in Africa
Name a European city
Name an American city
Name a boxer from the country in South America that you picked
Name a boxer from the country in Africa you picked
Name a boxer from the European city you picked
Name a boxer from the American city you picked
Name an actor with a beard
Name an actress who would look better with a beard


Everyone welcome please PM me your answers in an unnumbered list by 1:30pm if you want to play. Remember you are looking for the most common answer.

You've either got it or you haven't, TH.

No film questions and Cane still brings up the rear......

Number 4 actually but thanks, PP.

Sorry two_tone only seen your answers now. Didn't look after 11:02 so missed them. I would have included you if I'd seen them.

Joint 3rd my highest place so far

thought rowleys human windwmill article would have been the first people thought of seeing though its permanantly there!

Minogue & Schumacher let me down.

I must try to drag myself out of the nineties...

alma wrote:conclusive proof that hedge-fund staff never do any work

Aye, no arguments from me, alma.

Dont worry everyone did for a limited time anyway as I was stupid enough to post them before PM'ing them to you!

You went with Minogue and Schumacher?? Showing your age Union. They're both about 10 years past their best....

Right you are. Nice to see someone making a contest of it

I'm the same.

Still third on the all time list though, so its not all bad.

I would have won that had you not all been gutter rag reading imbeciles. I'm not bitter though, form is temporary, class is permanent.

Particularly those that work in Hedge Funds.......

That's exactly why I can, alma. Trading is all about deciding what the little/common people are thinking.

Me? I read the Economist (with a copy of Readers Wives hidden in the middle pages)

New questions are up. Normal sheep deadline is 1pm. Go!

It's Ulster Bank over Alma. It's chaos.

PP - can you clarify 'band'? i.e. what about 'groups' or leads backed up by musicians?

Mine are in, brimming with confidence this time.

Whatever way you want to interpret it Tophat. I'd class your answer as a "band"

Guys regarding the last question. If you look at Tina's posting history you'll see the Real Heros articles. I'm going to negative mark blank answers..

I know mine definitely is/are, but I wanted to put something else and wasn't sure if it'd count.......oh well all done now.

Do you want me to clarify my last answer or is what I gave you ok?

Forget that idle threat. Forgot we were playing normal sheep.
