[Barna77]

How was the flight?

Shockingly it went really well. He only cried once and that was before a 2 and a half hour nap

Half 4 in the morning here and he's up 

Unlike the baby in the apartment below mine. Crying 24/7 😡

[lorcand1990]

The reveal for this question will be tomorrow morning

We're finally clear of covid, so we're off partying
(Well, we're off to have fake Christmas with the brother in law as they're away next week)

Change of plan, reveal at 7pm this evening as normal

Ah here, I don't even know what time it is here and you're confusing me with all these changes.  Get your house in order!

This is obviously a joke, thanks for everything so far it's great fun and very annoying!

[Leg End Reject]

It payz to read the small print, I nearly sent in a film title. 

Could be worse, you could have sent me this yesterday...

Are you sure there is actually a county with ELF in its names?

Towns and cities yeah, I can think of Belfast off the top of my head, but don't think there's a county

What an idiot!

[Mam of 4]

The only one I couldnt get was We Three Kings. I knew it was gonna be easy but I just couldn't see it! I enjoyed that round though @E.N. so you get a pass this week!

That needs a disclaimer saying it actually wasn't me !!

Now stand for the Chicago City Anthem

[Kol]

I think you went the wrong way @Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick 1pm is it not?

[RSOAPS]

I think you went the wrong way @Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick  1pm is it not?

That's what I said

My edit of the previous post just now was for an entirely different reason

[E.N.]

Today's santas were...



Tim Allen (The Santa Clause), Edward Asner (Elf), Jim Broadbent (Get Santa), Kurt Russell (The Christmas Chronicles)
David Huddleston (Santa Claus: The Movie), Edmund Gwenn (Miracle on 34th Street, 1947), Richard Attenborough (Miracle on 34th Street, 1994), Paul Giamatti (Fred Claus)

[E.N.]

Slightly surprisingly, Paul Giamatti is the sheep, guess he has a distinctive face but people think he's not obvious.
Kurt Russell is just one behind.
Tim Allen is surprisingly low, and Richard Attenborough is the best answer luvvies.

No one got Edmund Glenn, from the original Miracle

Bit of a slip for current spooner, Strawbs, that could be costly

Well at least I picked the lesser evil of the two I knew 🤣

[E.N.]

Barna steals a march on BuileBeag, but that lifeline will come into play one day. Edser has a good jump into the podium positions but it's all still very tight in the midtable.

Will Strawbs' lifeline help her off the bottom? Or is the gap getting too bad. Butty must be breathing a little sigh of relief today

Well fuck Tim Allen!

[ari101]

Well fuck Tim Allen!

I'd rather not if that's alright with you? 😉

[BuileBeag]

Balls

[jp liz v1]

I was sure Giamatti wouldn't sheep, oh how I was wrong

[jp liz v1]

Well fuck Tim Allen!

You can to infinity and beyond 

[lorcand1990]

Wohoo, finally I did ok

[lorcand1990]

Well fuck Tim Allen!

I'll actually think about it considering the circumstances

[E.N.]

Following on very closely from yesterday

Question 18: name one of the actors playing Scrooge below

[HildaSilvioOgden]

Am so bad at Christmas movies, will go with the one face that I knew straightaway 😁

[E.N.]

Just @Sephiroth_Dude to enter today

[Sephiroth_Dude]

Just @Sephiroth_Dude to enter today

I pm'ed you already EN, did you not get it ?

Wait, you're not @Homer J. Fong
It's @Homer J. Fong that hasn't entered
I said @Homer J. Fong, not you 🤣

[Homer J. Fong]

Oops. Sorry, I forgot. Ah well, wouldn't have had a good answer anyway.

[E.N.]

Oops. Sorry, I forgot. Ah well, wouldn't have had a good answer anyway.

Still time Homer, fire an answer over

[DejaBoo]

Next year, sE.N.ty should pick a FoGie from his Naughty list to answer for those who didn't enter that day.



or maybe a drunk elf

[E.N.]

Today's Scrooges were...



Patrick Stewart (A Christmas Carol, 1999), Albert Finney (Scrooge, 1970), Kelsey Grammer (A Christmas Carol, 2004), Jim Carrey (A Christmas Carol, 2009)
Michael Caine (The Muppet Christmas Carol), Tim Curry (A Christmas Carol, 1997), Guy Pearce (A Christmas Carol, TV Series, 2019), Christopher Plummer (The Man Who Invented Christmas, 2017)

And a special bonus answer, which might need some explaining...

[E.N.]

Soapy actually predicted Jim Carrey sheeping as people would think it was a clever answer!
The more obvious Michael Caine is just a point back

The real movers are Necro with a fine ace, and jluv and Liz with just 2 each.
ari and aaron suffer today, though it's a travesty that Michael Gambon scores as badly as Jeremy Beadle

Barna holds on to the top, but Necro's ace and Shane's see them jump into second, just a point back.
BuileBeag is still lurking and holding a lifeline, as are DvB and guiri. The bookies still have it wide open

[Leg End Reject]

I should have recognised more of them!

[Homer J. Fong]

I should have recognised more of them!

 I barely even looked at the pictures tbh because the only two people I knew of who definitely played Scrooge are Caine and Carrey (and because I had to answer at the last minute!) But aside from Patrick Stewart and Kelsey Grammar, I don't think I'd have recognised the others from the pictures alone.

[RSOAPS]

At first glance I did also think Christopher Plumber was Michael Gambon so I understand why you were swayed that way @aaronjennings

I'd be less inclined to mistake Tim Curry for Jeremy Beadle, but I suppose there is some sort of resemblence there @ari101

[aaronjennings]

FFS, if only I'd saved my lifeline for just one more day

[Sephiroth_Dude]

Thank god I didn't say Michael Caine

[Barna77]

I don't want to see that Jim Carrey face again

[Jluv]

I so nearly went with Michael Caine too!
If I had been more careful on that first question (a beautiful 15 score😡) I wouldn't be doing too bad...

[HildaSilvioOgden]

Kelsey Grammer was the one I recognised at first glance so I went with that answer.

[Kol]

Jeremy Beadle is certainly a strange answer but what is more worrying is that I always thought his name was Jeremy Beetle.

I might not win much in this game but my general knowledge has gone up a notch

[jp liz v1]

Nope. Not today EN, too hungover to make my brain function

Is that Mark Addy from The Full Monty

[RSOAPS]

No, it's Mark Addy from Game of Thrones
