Fogies sheepish Advent Calendar 2021

[Purple Mountain]

Due to unpopular demand, it's another animal themed song. Who needs Rudolph when you can listen to Dominick the Italian Christmas Donkey!

Dominick doesn't have a patch on the Silent Night cats. I've forwarded that to so many people ?

[Mam of 4]

Easy know I've been existing on too little sleep all this week ...... remembered to send in my answer there now and went looking for the question in the Fogies Christmas Thread

[E.N.]

Everyone's in today
So it won't effect anyone else if someone entered a crazy guess, eh @nothing

Sent this to a friend who lives in Italy today, she got a great giggle out of it

How dare you, its a perfectly valid and reasonable guess

Feliz Navidad is pretty horrible

Like Chris Rea driving home for Christmas, today's answer is very middle of the road again

With it being so close to Christmas and all I've had a change of heart and decided to choose a song you like............in fact 30% of you voted it your favourite Christmas song of all time, It's Fairytale of New York!..solo enjoy!

[Purple Mountain]

Seph and Mam are tied and myself and Buile are tied.. yay..

[ari101]

I'd prefer Silent Night Caterwauling

[Wichita Lineman]

[Trigger]

It's not even that fun to rip the piss out of @BuileBeag anymore, she's doing so bad

[Butty Brennan]

If you go back to the torture songs this one would work great

[Butty Brennan]

I can still win it.
Providing all the players above me got steaming last night and they sleep in for the whole day.

[E.N.]

We made it to the final day! Well done everyone

OK, today's question is probably covid impacted, so has to be caveated a bit. When we did regular sheep the Christmas Eve question was somewhere you'd go this evening and the church and the pub were joint winners. Pubs are closed, so...




#Advent Question 23:
Ordinarily, ignoring covid restrictions, would you be going to church today?
What percentage of players do you think will say yes?

PMs to me before this evening, reveal about 9

[E.N.]

[Toto Wolfcastle]

Final answer submitted. It’s been really fun to wake up to a different question every morning.

[Neowise]

Final answer submitted. It’s been really fun to wake up to a different question every morning.

Agreed. I've gotten great enjoyment from this Advent Calendar series E.N.
Really appreciate the effort envolved in running this in the lead up to xmas. Thank you so much.

[E.N.]

Cheers guys

To be honest, it's not much effort in December once I have a spreadsheet set up. The only effort is writing the questions and I had most done in January

[E.N.]

Missing @Edser and @Irish Aris
On the ouzo already, Aris?

[E.N.]

OK...

[E.N.]

Only four of us are (or would be) off to Christmas Eve mass. DejaBoo, jp liz v1, Sawduck and Hyblaeus

That's 14.3%

Which gives Purple Mountain the final perfect zero

nothing has committed hari kiri. I didn't think it was fair for Aris to be taken down with her, so he gets 10 more than Hyblaeus who had guessed too high...

[nothing]

I completely agree with not taking anyone down with me!

[E.N.]

Which means, of course, that Shane is our champion!
Well done Shane, you were untouchable once you got a bit of a lead, great performance

Trigger jumps up to grab second place at the very end, just edging out Kol who completes the podium ahead of a three way tie for fourth

At the other end, nothing robs Spears of her hard fought for spoon!

Awww yes! Gimme that advent spoon!

[aaronjennings]

Congratulations Shane, completely blew everyone away from very early on

And massive thanks for the game EN, a mountainous amount of work to do for a little under a month. You of all people deserve to take a break tomorrow

[nothing]

Well done @ShaneU @Trigger @Kol for excellent performances

@E.N. you're an absolute king of Christmas! Thank you!

[Kol]

Congrats @ShaneU , you were uncatchable for so long, very well done.
@Trigger you sneaky devil, well done also.
Enjoy the spoon @nothing

Thank you @E.N. for another brilliant game, I'm sure you were running around like a headless chicken the last 3 weeks!

Merry Christmas

[BuileBeag]

Congrats ShaneU!! 
Mutter mutter Trigger mutter. 
Well done Kol!! 
And PM on your zero. 


Thanks a million E.N. That was great. You're a legend. 

Happy Christmas everyone!!

[Barna77]

Congrats Shane and big thanks to EN for the game. That was fun and some carnage too 

[ShaneU]

Thank you to all my adoring fans  to celebrate my victory let's go out in style with not one, not two, not three, but FOUR awful VERSIONS of probably the most famous Christmas song.... Jingle Bells!

First we have William Shatner featuring Henry Rollins! What could possibly go wrong here?!



Next we have the inimitable Barbara Streisand! A mesmerising performance here surely?



Next is Lucie Bílá....I'll be honest I have no idea what's going on here, looks like a cult of some sort



And finally the version you'll all be singing after your dinner tomorrow 



Have a great Christmas everyone! 

[Mam of 4]

Congratulations @ShaneU !
@Trigger and @Kol too !

Advent Spoon , a prized possession @nothing !

@E.N. , thank you , look forward to this every year , you're the Father Christmas of FOG ☺

Merry Christmas one and all ☺

[Spears]

At the other end, nothing robs Spears of her hard fought for spoon!

[Spears]

Congrats on the taking the first Advent title @ShaneU! 

Thanks for the game @E.N. 


This is the reason I don't normal join any games that take a commitment of logging on every day. 

I knew I'd fall behind if i missed any day, but I didn't think it would be that brutal.


Happy Christmas everyone. May you all have a great one 

[E.N.]

This is the reason I don't normal join any games that take a commitment of logging on every day. 

I knew I'd fall behind if i missed any day, but I didn't think it would be that brutal.

Yeah, in hindsight I'd give everyone one free pass I think. So missing out once wouldn't make a difference, and if you knew you'd be on everyday you could skip a question where you had no idea. Next time...

[Spears]

Thank you to all my adoring fans  to celebrate my victory let's go out in style with not one, not two, not three, but FOUR awful VERSIONS of probably the most famous Christmas song.... Jingle Bells!

Well done @ShaneU too for your commitment to the game.

was a great laugh listening to your fabulous songs. I'm sure it was pure festive cheer for you having to look up all those goodies
