Not our fault you're horribly sexist and don't follow women's football!

Just seeing this and catching up now, would have hit the first 6 sheep then had a mare on the last 3, so maybe best!

The reason I missed it is that we got the keys to our new house today Big Grin

Not long in from trying to sort stuff out there, garden and some bedroom painting today, I'm shattered but happy

That's great Nitters, congrats to you all! The best bit is making it your own. Lovely time of year to move in as well, you must have us all over for Christmas drinks. 😁

7 answers given for our final question. Can your position be changed by a sheep or an ace...

I did very bad this evening, even @Jluv finished above me shock

Let's see our aces first...

Edmund Barton - Neowise

William McMahon - liz

Harold Holt - RSOAPS

Bob Hawke - Cj

John Howard - Zaph

Might be some mid board shuffling there, but our podium is ace free

Our two non ace answers might just flip things...

I think Free Falling suits me better. 🙄

At the final hurdle, @aaronjennings snatches the win from our second place @Leg End Reject, with @Toto Wolfcastle completing our podium.

In 16th place, with 16 points, and owner of this hastily carved spoon, is @Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick

Does this count as using my degree in maths??

🤣🤣🤣

Good game and you learned never to score it by hand again even if you have a maths degree 🤣

Congrats Aaron, leggy and Toto and of course our spooner Soapy! 😁

Missed the 2nd half of this because I couldn't stay up for Nothing to count all her fingers and toes 10 times Tongue

Well done @aaronjennings and hard luck @Leg End Reject, very proud of that last minute capitulation, I've taught you well!

Surprised to see I recovered to my usual mid table mediocrity, all is right with the world again

Great game @nothing, very fun

Thanks for the fun sheep Nothing. Well done Aaron.
I'm happy with my midtable mediocrity as the second half was just a huge brain fart for me. Rolleyes

Well holy God!

Exactly. Some of the old games I used to run had to be hand scored which is why I've kicked them to the kerb. Dodgy
