Fogies sheepish Advent Calendar 2021

[Purple Mountain]

I really thought it would be higher, most houses have at least one set of lights around here.

Yea, are people not counting the wreaths on their doors that have lights?
That's technically outside!!

[Purple Mountain]

Still winning somehow. Here is your special Advent song, please enjoy

I tried not to laugh..but failed!

[cee_jay]

We have nicknamed our street the Las Vegas Strip with how brightly lit some of the houses are. They are really, really awful.
Us and our next door neighbours feel like the only Grinch houses on the street - but neither of us have kids.

[E.N.]

Tables updated above, let's pretend it was always correct

Dammit. I demand my perfect 0 back.

Dammit. I demand my perfect 0 back.

Is that your pet name for Zaph?

[Spears]

Even I think I looks personal, and I know it's not

Nah don't worry about it, I'm so far down the table, tiz no wonder i'm being forgotten about   

[E.N.]

Final week before Christmas and I'm delighted to be slacking! But what about you?




#Advent Question 20:
Are you in work today?

I thought you were only supposed to play bad songs
I went about 50/50 for the outdoor lights because of people in rented and council houses and flats where the landlord might not appreciate a load of lights being screwed on to the gaff.

[Butty Brennan]

Everytime the scores get corrected I move down the table.  
I was about to pass Zaph a few days ago and now I'm 8 places below him.   Stop the count! and put the scores back the way they were.

It bloody well hasn't moved anyone down far enough 

[davetherave]

Well done Spears, top of the class. Sephers clearly wasn't paying attention during the 30 questions about Forum Gamers last year.

It was one of the two most shocking reveal's of that game

At first glance I thought wtf , they're weird looking hedgehogs

[Leg End Reject]

Somebody needs to explain Mam's beaver to me.

That's not innuendo by the way!

[Mam of 4]

Not innuendo my *** 

Not much to explain,  just a misread game objective!  
(Wasn't that funny tbh )
Ok , it actually was , 26 weird and wonderful answers , and I still didn't win

[ari101]

@Leg End Reject It was my first (and remains I think my best) attempt at hosting a game
Mam misinterpreted my instructions slightly and the Reveal was made so much more fun as a result.

If you want a sneak peak... it's on old boards (sorry Mam, she asked )

I've read the colour sheep game, Mam's best answer was macaroni and cheese!

[Mam of 4]

I've read the colour sheep game, Mam's best answer was macaroni and cheese!

The crazy thing is that each and every answer  was a legitimate name for different shades of paint colours ! 
I wouldn't mind but I spent ages trawling through them all , A -Z

[Leg End Reject]

*walks into paint shop*

"Hello, may I have a litre of Mam's Beaver in matt emulsion, and 3 litres of Macaroni and cheese in satin please?"

With A Granny Smith for dessert after all that work

Then off to Xanadu to see Olivia Newton John.

Actually it was this game that I was talking about.

It wasn't the beaver question this time, but it was a @Mam of 4 reveal that was the second question shock that I had mentioned.

Absolutely brilliant and funny game to be part of, and probably my own personal favourite (and there have been many games that I loved). 

Was a great atmosphere from all the players on the reveal night

Yes my 'subtle' hint as to the individual did get us rather side tracked from the mystery at heart

Like every day, by the time the answer comes I have to go back a page an look up the question - I don't think I went high enough but I can't remember my answer

Edit: Oh not so bad, I can live with that!
