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

First topic message reminder :

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.

No idea – sorry Tina - Il Gialloblu

Hurtful man.

Congratulations Blunkett. You're an inspiration.

I was on holiday last week and missed this first time around, so I'm glad you're going again paperbag_puncher. Cheers mate. 4th isn't bad for my first go! I might have been a bit higher up if Tina's articles had been a bit more memorable too.

BLUNKETT WON...OH GOD!!!!

You were born after Blondie disbanded..!

Not one shout for Yeah Yeah Yeahs, philistines!!

Maxed the film questions that time, but made a balls of the boxing ones.

EH!!!!!! whats with the pink pp?

I suppose you could leave it that way so it stands out

Doing a blunkett should now have a different meaning.

haha too painful to recognise you officially

After all I came from the mean streets of Sunderland to become a champion among champions.

It remains a Blunkett, but now has an irony to it

Call me a dark horse, an underdog, a one that wasnt supposed to win but I showed them all in the end, I am............. "The peoples champion" .

Beaten by a beach-fairy......

No-one read them, don't worry. Charley Burley was a complete guess on my part

I read one about someone helping jews in the war. It was a good read, far better than anything I've ever contributed here, just can't remember who it was.

Anyway, paperbag_puncher. I noticed you did reverse sheep last week. I've played that with my students over here (really earning my money that day!) and we had a certain letter for each round. So every answer would have to begin with the same letter. You might have to have questions with a broader range of answers, but maybe you could try that for a round?

Cheers.

bloody hell, i go away to do abit of work and look what happens!!

I eagearly awaited 1pm, checked the results for the 1st question.....and realised I hadn't entered!

Il Gialloblu - I believe you're referring to Max Schmelling re: helping Jews in the War

Or Young Perez (who I went for..... )

Could have been the Young Perez one as well as he helped Jews in Auschwitz. They were both brilliant through so I can understand the confusion.

Hey. I won't be able to do reverse today I'm afraid. Busy enough in work and reverse takes way longer as I have to make sure the answers are actually correct which can be time consuming. I'll have a normal game up shortly though.

"I'll have a normal game up shortly though."

YES!!!!

Good man

Good. I can join in that one. I was just preparing my answers when I got chucked off my computer for them to update the anti-virus programme. Otherwise, I would have been right there, in the bottom three as usual!

Seconded - this is really helping to pass what is otherwise a pretty boring day at work... maybe I'll scale the dizzy height of second from last this time (although I'm not holding my breath)...

New questions are up. Deadline is 3:30pm

Not confident. At all.

Can I be black instead of pink plez?

If you win another one you can be the same colour as everyone else

Am I the only person yet to win?

Hahaha champion

I would love to see how good PP is at this himself. Poor chap never gets to join in. Someone should man up and run one game only so he can have a go.

Not me, of course, I am far too busy.

Yeah probablys but I am routing for you mate

2nd last question was a bit... out there.

Jeeez Louise!! COME ON MAN!

By "stay over" you mean "back scuttle" right?

PF4EC wrote:2nd last question was a bit... out there.

I need to keep myself amused.


Tina, the best player at this game is also the most selfless. No not me but Ermietrude. I'll take him up on the offer some day.

I just thought you meant stay over, enjoy some mature conversation, maybe a bottle or three of wine and wish them a good nights sleep. I am too naive at times

Have you put Bruce Forsyth?

crack up if someone puts "your mum" for the penultimate question

TopHat24/7 wrote:crack up if someone puts "your mum" for the penultimate question

That made me laugh. You do realise though that you said that before the deadline and that everyone is going to do it now and get mega points. I've lost again!

haha no, enough people have already submitted answers for it not to be an issue.

For the record, I didn't put it either. Tho maybe I should have.....

If anyone puts Madonna, they should be banned from this board

She don't look that bad for 50+ for a one nighter surely!?

It would be like a wizard's sleeve mate.

I am not syaing I did, but I just want to point out that you put the answers you think others will put, so it is not necessarily a reflection of ones own taste.



JUST SAYING!!!
