A week of sheep!

[ari101]

I want coffee cake now! Anyone recommend a particular brand?

The one I pictured is the Darina Allen recipe (not a pic of my cake, but I have made it the same at home before) and it is sensational 

Almost considering asking what the best type of cake is next round

Here have a piece of cake! 

[quickbeam]

I actually don't really like cake.

[ari101]

I actually don't really like cake.

As long as you have some vices you are still welcome I don't like all cakes, or trifle, or tiramisu or any of those sweet creamy heavy things like creme brulee...

[RSOAPS]

Not a fan of cake myself...

What about a nice quiche instead?

[cee_jay]

All of this talk about cake has influenced me into ordering donuts from Offbeat on Just Eat
Lemon meringue (for me the chocolate hater), Boston creme and bueno bueno.

[Necro]

My favourite dessert is kind of like myself...

A big dirty Eton Mess

[cee_jay]

Ah come on.. Michael Keaton is so the obvious answer!

I thought so too, and then remembered someone say the most recent goes down well with boardsies stupid batffleck

[quickbeam]

My vices are more savoury in nature.

Though I don't like quiche either as I don't like shortcrust pastry, and don't like scrambled eggs.

Give me a nice cheese platter and I'm happy as larry.

Or crisps, or nuts, or popcorn.

[ari101]

I'd prefer a non egg savoury tartlet... I find the pastry + egg in quiche very heavy even though I like both in other ways

Anyway we should probably discuss the sheep at hand or start and OT what treat are you buying/baking/eating today thread

Isn't Robert Pattinson technically the most recent, even though the film isn't coming out until March? Would've been out this year were it not for that pesky pandemic.

I went with Keaton. I figured it'd come down to him or Bale, but wasn't sure which way it'd fall so just went with the better Batman.

Next up we have the Rugby players and although we did a spread of 6 selections there was only 1 clear winner and it is one that could possibly make a difference at the top of our leaderboard.

Balls.

This is just another reason I hate rugby.

Well let's be honest, I totted my likely D2 effort on the back of an envelope and it wasn't my best so I would not be overtaking PogoRach or Homer's patented sheep factory regardless Third on the other hand, would have been a possibility... 

It likely won't matter after some of my D6 answers though

[Sawduck]

For question 5) Hosting a podcast are asking for a website that hosts a podcast or a person who hosts one? I have never watched a podcast in my life so i'm a bit confused

Well there's your first problem, podcasts are more of a listening affair...

I assumed it meant a person hosting a podcast.

[Leg End Reject]

In.

No. 4 is the trickiest, there's 3 obvious ones that could sheep. At least there's more choice with the others.

Ah now i get it (still haven't got a clue) thanks Rachel Stevens

I honestly don't mind. I'd rather have them in my company than someone like, oh, I don't know, Tigger or something?     

Anyway, my answers are in. Time to get the coffee ready for the new arrivals here at the bottom

[Bounty hunter]

Yeah it would be the person hosting it, not the website. Otherwise Youtube would be the big sheep for that one

Could be some big sheeps this round but if someone misses one of them it could make a big difference.

He has already submitted answers but it's possible one of the ones looking like a big sheep may not be among them.

I hope you got mine, I striked through to view 

No one picked Affleck Kilmer or Clooney for Batman, Bale and Keaton are the most popular good ones

[Bounty hunter]

Had a long ass day so only getting to this now, but will kick things off swiftly with 2x mammoth sheep... Jokers and Presidents, aren't they the same thing har har

If you went for the newest and oscar winning joker aka Joaquin Phoenix you get...1pt

If you went for what some would argue is the best Joker, the animated one, Mark Hamill then... 1 pt

If you went for the one that went up against our sheepish Batman from the last round then that'll get you 15pts!

Heath Ledger

Meanwhile did you go for Irelan'd first female President. If so sorry cos Mary only gets you 1 point while everyone else gets 16 thanks to 

Michael D Higgins
