Never even heard of it. 🤨

They claim to be the biggest Christmas tree in the world. I'll let you decide whether it's actually a tree

Knew I should've gone for dublin...

Same, thought people might struggle, so they'd all go for Dublin

Also thought people might not recognise New York if the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty or Big Yellow Taxis weren't to be seen in the picture, or that some people might go all Die Hard and even mistake it for Nakatomi Plaza, but clearly that was a silly thought 

[Hello 2D Person Below]

BALLS, missed this.

[Trigger]

BALLS, missed this.

I'm sure you can join tomorrow with 15 points for missing the first question (basically a wrong answer) 15 points is nothing in this game 😂

Absolutely, go for it

[Leg End Reject]

You know you're shite at this game when H 2d P B has the same score as you even though they missed the question. 🤣🤣

Actually if @E.N. allowed @Hello 2D Person Below to use the lifeline for that first question, 2D's current score would only be 1

[HildaSilvioOgden]

Dublin and London were the only ones I knew. Ah well. 😁

[E.N.]

Actually if @E.N. allowed @Hello 2D Person Below to use the lifeline for that first question, 2D's current score would only be 1

I did state in the other place that latecomers would have to start from last, I think that's fairest. But join in 2D, you can make up that ground in no time

Fair enough so - I haven't been back to the other place in over a year, so would not have seen that

Don't blame you
I still use it for gig news, and the whiskey thread is a very nice corner of the internet

You did have a good point, but I'd better be consistent

[Butty Brennan]

Oh tits! I very nearly went for Moscow.

[DejaBoo]

I wonder what our next chrimbo challenge will be 

[ari101]

Yay for Rio, I was having the I'm sure it is but now that I am required to commit I'm not so sure feeling 🤣🤣🤣

[E.N.]

OK, day two!



It's the time of year when all the companies think you're Christmas shopping and are trying to outdo each other with their Christmas adverts

Question 2: name the company behind one of these Christmas adverts:



PMs to me by 6, reveal at 7. No google

[HildaSilvioOgden]

Damn it, I think I recognise a few of them but aaaaaaaargh 😁!

[lorcand1990]

A couple of those are clients of mine in work.. I'll still manage to pick the sheep though 

[HildaSilvioOgden]

Just remembered I think I won my wooden spoon in a PEEHS. 😁

I might have a nice Christmassy one yet to match up with it. 🎄🤶

[nothing]

I can remember some of those ads but not the associated brand - which defeats the purpose of advertising!

[Sawduck]

I recognise most of them but I'm struggling to remember what they were advertising

[RSOAPS]

I recognise most of them but I'm struggling to remember what they were advertising

They were advertising Christmas, duh

[ShaneU]

Is that the same little girl in both of those ads?

I am dreadful at these, might know 3 of them

[Necro]

Answer in! Absolutely knackered today after an extended dress rehearsal last night went on till 1.30am. Three different groups of kids involved so we had to go over parts of the show three times....



What's it they say, never work with children or animals and this year we have both 😭😭😭

[Leg End Reject]

Is that the same little girl in both of those ads?

I am dreadful at these, might know 3 of them

Same ad I think, or at least 2 ads for the same product.

Only if I've made a very bad mistake 😜

(which I'm obviously not ruling out)

[Sephiroth_Dude]

In, please god no one got the one I did, although knowing my luck ye probably did.

Throwing us all off the scent and misdirection? Very wolfy behaviour leggy

[E.N.]

As a couple of people have asked, I have all the youtube links for these and I'll stick them up after the reveal, so you can indulge your nostalgia cravings

[E.N.]

Still loads of time, but still waiting on @BuileBeag ,@Butty Brennan, @DvB and @Kol

[E.N.]

Just @Butty Brennan left to answer, anytime before 7 will be fine Buttster

I can tell you that today we had 8 answers given and we have a joint sheep

Joint sheep, you say?

[DejaBoo]

Oh Christmas balls, I sheeped again!

I only recognized one advert.

[BuileBeag]

I think I know every one of these. Is that something to proud or ashamed of?

I hope I didn't pick a sheep though.

I thought the Telecom one was also for Kellogg's Cornflakes!

I remember her whispering "It's Santa".
