Sorry I'm so far behind. I'll get an answer in now..

Well it wasn't you holding up the show it was me! Sorry, I'm in now, for today (and also tomorrow) sorry, shattered, busy, everyone keeps making me change me schedule, and I'm not even sure what day of the week it is... 🥴🤬😅

It's 22 to 31 going into our penultimate round, Reds have 9 points to make up, Blues have a steady lead.

Tonight's questions were set by dave and Mam, very different themes.

Let's go!

[Mam of 4]

Am waiting for E.N. to come in shouting I Knew It 😂

Forgive me Red Team in advance !

[nothing]

Dave set tonight's historical question for the Reds after some debate with himself

Ohh boy, so a few questions did come to mind before I tossed them aside either as too many answers (name a line on the London Underground), too few answers (Name a house in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry), or just too obscure (Name a magical school in the Harry Potter universe.)

Only 7 options available, let's hope its not a team full of aces!

I'm actually laughing here to myself, all of ye with the intellectual questions and I throw birds into the mix 😂

It's as smart a question as any! Many people can't identify different birds either.

Mam was unsure if she even had the right proclamation and opted for Thomas Clarke, who I must confess I'd never heard of.

Thomas James Clarke was an Irish republican and a leader of the Irish Republican Brotherhood. Clarke was arguably the person most responsible for the 1916 Easter Rising

Aaron struggled to squeeze in a Doctor Who reference here, and picked James Connolly, who I think I've heard of... Alas, he is alone.



Wichy has an interesting assessment of the situation

We reds need a big sheep so I'm going for Padraig Pearse in the hope that my teammates do likewise and them pesky blues will think thats too obvious for us and will say something like James Connolly for the rustle.

Well it'll either be that or I've just given them some handy points.

He certainly pegged his own team, with he, leggy, lorc, ari and Kol going for the big hitter Mr Pearse, 5 potential points for the Reds, but will dave rustle them away?!

[nothing]

A brief pause, I need chocolate!

[ari101]

Eeek - mine was an 'I'm late and I can't remember who else signed it'... fingers crossed that's not the rustle!

I have wine and am trying to get me Fog Factor submissions together! 😅

I work near the Padraig Pearse pub in town. I doubt it's how he imagined his legacy would be celebrated

Thanks Leggy ☺
I'll confess to having a  great variety of birds feed here , it can be hilarious watching them squabble.  Yes , I'm old and I know it 😀

The starlings are my favourite, they come right up to you demanding to be fed. 😄

So what birds have been feeding at Blues garden bird table?

I regret to inform you all that every possible bird pun has already been plastered all over the thread, you monsters!

Jluv is out of luck with a Finch



liz, Necro and Spears all pick the Christmas card superstar, and Batman sidekick, Robin



Trigs, EN and dave choose the rather boring looking, Caribbean pirating, potential bonus point generator, Sparrow



So 6 points up for grabs, 3 guaranteed, can Mam grab some?!

5 picked, 8 to go 😅 Live, and a cover, and fits the category in at least some tangential manner, this is fecking hard work! 🤣

[Mam of 4]

Sorry @Kol , I like Bon Jovi ,Blood On Blood is actually one of my favourite songs .

[Jluv]

Goddamn! I have the friendliest robin in my back yard..should have backed him/her 😠

[Necro]

I think Mam will probably rustle it but I was never picking anything else this round, points be damned.

As I said to nothing...

I have a sort of emotional connection to the bird, my uncle was named the same as it and one turned up in our garden the morning after Dad died and didn't leave until he was buried.

He still comes to visit in the mornings too sometimes (the bird, not Dad ... Unfortunately)

Nothing must be washing down her chocolate with a Chinese.

[nothing]

Daves attempt to rustle more from the Reds

I chose James Connolly because the obvious answer is Patrick Pearse / Pádraig Mac Piarais / P.H. Pearse, and I love to second guess and bluff/double bluff myself.

Reds retain their 5 points!

I got distracted!

[Mam of 4]

Woohoo! !

[lorcand1990]

[nothing]

Mam was more worried about getting the format right than explaining her choice...

Robin!



she rustles 3 points from the Blues!

[lorcand1990]

I guess you could say @Mam of 4 was robin all the points
