Wichita's sheep debut. Very trivial....THE REVEAL! - Wichita Lineman - 04-10-2021 iWell, here I go dipping my toes into the sheepy waters! Hopefully I wont make a balls of it. I'll kick off the reveal here at 9pm. Here are the questions just in case anyone has forgotten what they were. And they fill some space. Music - 1. An obvious one to start with. Name a Glen Campbell song apart from ‘Wichita Lineman’ - 2. Other than ‘From a Distance’ name a Nanci Griffith song – Science next – 1. Name an element that starts with a vowel – 2. Name a celebrity inventor – Sport – 1. Name an Irish professional golfer (past or present) who wasn’t born in Co. Offaly – 2. Name an English soccer team that starts with an S – Politics – 1. Name any former President of the USA. (Minus points for anyone naming the one with a head that looks like a poorly combed basketball.) 2. Name any female TD in the current Irish Dail – TV – 1. Might be a chance for a big score as there are only 6 to choose from – name a ‘Friends’ character who appeared in all 235 episodes – 2. Name a TV quiz programme - Geography – 1. Name anywhere in Co. Wicklow that starts with the letter G – 2. Name a county in Ireland you would love to move to – Literature – 1. Name a Charles Dickens character that doesn’t appear in a title of any of his novels – 2. Name a novel by Roddy Doyle excluding the Barrytown Trilogy of ‘The Commitments’ / ‘The Snapper’ / ‘The Van’ ) – Film – 1. Name any movie in which Cary Grant appears – 2. And finally – a sort of hypothetical one – who do you think will replace Daniel Craig as James Bond? RE: Wichita's sheep debut.

They were however unexpectedly joined by ‘The Speed of the Sound of Loneliness’ which I wouldn’t have had in my selection if you asked me for 20 Nanci Griffith tracks. RE: Wichita's sheep debut.

As well as being a successful actress in the 1930’s and 40’s. Hedy Lamarr worked on and patented an invention for a radio signal-hopping device, which unbelievably is today implemented in our precious Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology. Also thrilled to see Dube inventor Dion Dublin get mentioned by E.N. who seems to be a big dube / Dion fan. RE: Wichita's sheep debut.

Offaly – With Ryder Cup player and Open champion Shane Lowry on the vetoed list this I thought was always going to be a straight sheepout between former Ryder Cup and Open winners Padraig Harrington & Rory McIlroy.
