Fong - 14-08-2022 Grab a carafe of your favourite Beaujolais or Chardonnay, for the hour of the Reveal beckons. Let us first stand for the French National Anthem: "Love, love, love....."

(Note; there will be a lot of poorly-made collages like this on show this evening.) ![]() RE: MOUTON - Le Reveal - Homer J. Fong - 14-08-2022 Perhaps the name of the anthem was a big clue to what our first big Sheep of the evening would be! Question 1: Name a French city other than Paris.

The Sheepers in this round are those showing solidarity with our Celtic cousins in Breizh. ![]() Our history buffs in Normandy pick up some consolation points, as do our city-slickers in Île-de-France (a.k.a. Paris region). Lorcan's mountaineering adventure and Liz's trip to the Mediterranean, however, shall remain solo activities. Question 2: Name one of the 18 Administrative Regions of France.

RE: MOUTON - Le Reveal - Homer J. Fong - 14-08-2022 Our third question asked to name a post-war President of France. Only three answers were given here; did you opt for the Airport Man? ![]() The Ortolan Muncher? ![]() Or the Sugar Baby? ![]() RE: MOUTON - Le Reveal - Homer J. Fong - 14-08-2022 Le Mouton En Marche! Whether you like him or not, he's pretty much the unofficial leader of Europe since Frau Merkel retired. So no surprise to see Monsieur Macron come out on top.

Zaph's misplaced faith in Mr Mitterrand sees him sharing the cuillère en bois with Butty for now, but it's still early days. Scores after question 3: RE: MOUTON - Le Reveal - Homer J. Fong - 14-08-2022 We turn our attention to the big screen next. Q.4 Name a French actor or actress.

RE: MOUTON - Le Reveal - Homer J. Fong - 14-08-2022 Given the wide range of possible answers here I expected a lot more variety in this question....but it seems that you all really like water lillies?! S/o to @ari101's ill-fated attempt of "avoiding the Chewbacca" - discounting both the existence of another Chewbacca (hi Rodin!) and highlighting that nobody else seems to care at all about Édouard Manet. ![]() And @Butty Brennan , if it's any consolation I'd have picked Matisse too. That's mainly down to personal preference though. Question 5: Name a French painter or sculptor. Claude Monet - 18 aaronjennings Cj maxx davetherave Declan A Walsh E.N.

RE: MOUTON - Le Reveal - Homer J. Fong - 14-08-2022 That fateful night in 2009 lingers on, with the most hated French person since Marie Antoinette* cheating his way to another victory here ahead of Zizou and King Eric. Lorcan makes the mistake of going too modern. Butty makes the mistake of watching too many Head and Shoulders ads. *TRIGGER WARNING: UPSETTING CONTENT* Question 6: Name a French footballer.
