Sunshine SHEEP: Dawning of another Lamb aka REVEAL Thread

[ari101]

Sunshine SHEEP - The Reveal!

Join us at 7.30pm Wed 06-10-2021 for a little after dark (where have the days gone???) sunshine!



Well I've found some sunshine, but have I maybe eaten all the SHEEP???

Let's remember what we were dreaming about:
A Mediterranean island
A Mediterranean resort (not an island)
A Canary Island
An Emirate
An Irish county for a sun staycation
A desert
An ice cream/ice pop to cool you down
A lake to dip your feet in (water safety first please folks)
A beach to chill on
A drink to refresh with

And our 22 fair weather farmers aiming for a larger mountainous herd:

[Wichita Lineman]

Best of luck with your reveal @ari101 I wont make it live but I'll definitely watch the highlights show after 9 some time.

[ari101]

Warming up for lift off... are ewe ready?



P.S. If that's a ram I plead farming ignorance

[ari101]

Welcome all, and hello to the replay crew off munching, lynching and living life elsewhen!

Let's get straight into it with a simpler one to start... a med island!

Majorca (Take me back to Soller please!)


Crete


Ibiza

[ari101]

Out of the gate we've a joint Balearic sheep and quite a spread! Even Mam is in joint first!
I'd have picked Ibiza to Sheep myself, but really I want to go back to Majorca for a post Covid holiday!

Well gosh gee whizz I didn't expect the difficulty the next question would create...

Did you go for a bougie hotel, an infamous area, a city by the sea, a broader region, or just look at me via PM like I had three heads?

[ari101]

Well this whittled our podium down a bit... lots of holiday recommendations to add to my list? Or just random choices amid the confusion  I would have been acing it Costa somewhere myself, that or avoiding the infamous pubcrawls in Magaluf with Necro

Wow, don't think I've seen that many aces in a while!

[Mam of 4]

I am laughing here , I hadn't a clue what question two meant so thought my answer would definitely Ace , who knew AJ would pick the same one

[ari101]

Wow, don't think I've seen that many aces in a while!

As if it were PEEHS  Quality question selection on my part

P.S. Apologies my tables are not as nice looking as I would like.

[ari101]

La Palma - wasn't topical at the time of original entry but has its newsworthiness brought it up now...?


Or something more traditional?

[Mam of 4]

Wow, don't think I've seen that many aces in a while!

Even better I'm not one of them 

[ari101]

Neither of my suggestions arose at all, poor Fuerteventura feeling lonely! I would have lined up with the Gran Canarians, but Tenerife is the place to be

That resort question confused me, at one stage I was googling Hotel names!

[nothing]

Hah! You may pun my name as much as you like!

I didn't even consider feurtaventura and my aunt has a place there!

[ari101]

Did you go for one of the lesser know 5:
Ajman, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, Sharjah and Umm Al Quwain

Or like me were you ruminating on the Abu Dhabi vs. Dubai problem:


Or maybe you went for a different Islamic State!

[Mam of 4]

I've just taken a screen shot of the leader board...so I can look at it tomorrow and know I didn't imagine it ..

[ari101]

I'm not sure they usually have many Sheep in Dubai but today it was the place to be!
Interestingly all of them together made for a nice score of 5.
Thanks to Mam (and sorry, glad you just got that screen shot) for an education that Kuwait is an Emirate (though not one of the 7 I had in mind when I selected the prompt, and not one that was in the minds of our other contestants either)

Seriously people... A Canary island and you don't name the one with canaria in the name, and not naming the emirate country with Emirates in the name. I despair

[ari101]

Now for something a little less... glam?
PSA - just saying... (and as a Mayo woman it breaks my heart)


But would you have predicted some of these...


Can't beat a bit of Cavan Anyone here from Cavan, I'll be safe anyway, they'd be far away in the cheap seats

[ari101]

Wexford for the win, and it's not hurling, or would that be football...?
No one for a bitta sunny Cavan?

@ari101 we went to Mayo this year on holiday, and it was the sunniest holiday I've ever had in Ireland. Absolutely beautiful.

[Necro]

Wexford?

Wha?

[cee_jay]

Wexford?

Wha?

I'm guessing they are all Dubs

[Edser]

The sunny South-East

[Necro]

Oh yeah I'll go to Wexford

Said no one, EVER

[ari101]

Another 's' for anyone... I like my dessert better than my desert, but maybe you got ahead of yourself in your ice-cream-thusiasm

[Zaph]

Well Wexford people will constantly remind you that they're in the sunny south east.

[ari101]

@ari101 we went to Mayo this year on holiday, and it was the sunniest holiday I've ever had in Ireland. Absolutely beautiful.

If you can guarantee the weather the West is so beautiful from Malin to Mizen and back

[ari101]

I'd rather an ice cream to a sojourn in the Sahara but if you spotted the single S you were all of one mind... poor dave was a trifle off the mark

Cathing up now.. Thanks @ari101 for including my full answer for q2.. Not that it would have helped 

[Declan A Walsh]

I'm enjoying reading through this even though I did not enter! 

[cee_jay]

Oooppps

[Necro]

Only for the Dubs aversion to travelling more than 40km from their houses I'd be right in this

[Declan A Walsh]

I think you would appreciate a good dessert in the desert. 

[ari101]

Cathing up now.. Thanks @ari101 for including my full answer for q2.. Not that it would have helped 

I actually edited it out in the openoffice spreadsheet I planned to use to post from, and then I realised at 5 before take off, when I copy from openoffice it doesn't paste the same into the post like excel (I need to find my MS Office Disk... ) 

[ari101]

I'm enjoying reading through this even though I did not enter! 

#thefear - did I miss your entries?

[ari101]

Now there were a few ahead of the pack in question 6... will they pick the right kind this time???
