Although if loads use their lifeline today it's probably worth having a stab at one of the ones I think I know cause there won't be a big sheep..... aaahhhh

Some of you have clearly never seen a Christmas Stamp Collection and it shows

One hour warning for @Edser

Edit: Butty forwarded it on 🤣

[Butty Brennan]

I've just realised that 12th day of Christmas song is an early form of hip hop: a shorty boasting about all the expensive bling her man is buying for her.

6:30 reveal tonight

Going to go early this evening, while I have a moment to sit down. Christmas prep is getting a bit crazy

[Sephiroth_Dude]

I used my life line today as I didn't have a clue and I know most of ye already used your life lines, so yer probably all of jealous of me still having mine and well I have something to say about that now.....

[E.N.]

Tricky round today, here's the answers...



Iceland, Ireland, Canada
New Zealand, UK
South Africa, Mexico, Australia

The clues in the pictures were...
Iceland - the bunting is the Icelandic flat
Ireland - pretty obvious
Canada - uses English and French
New Zealand - aside from summer beach cricket, there's a silver fern in the corner
UK - red postbox
South Africa - tough one, but I thought guessable
Mexico - wiki says "Piñatas are commonly associated with Mexico"
Australia - yeah, this one was impossible! There is an Australian flag on one of the envelopes

I've realised that the New Zealand one may have been really mistaken for Australia, but that would have been a valid answer so you'd get away with it. Oh well...

All but one answer was given, plus a couple of extras. And just a few lifelines 🤣

[Jluv]

Knew 5 so hope I picked the right one

[E.N.]

Amazingly, no one went for Ireland!

New Zealand and Australia are the joint sheep, and I think the Australia guesses were lucky not to be wrong!
Trigger picks up a lovely ace, and 9 people used their lifeline!

Heidi and Aisling slipped up though

Most of the top of the table sheeped, but Barna moves into the joint lead while Edser, DvB and Posy all move into good positions.
guiri and DvB still have their lifelines, it really could be anyone yet...

[Mam of 4]

I moved slightly away out of Buttys clutches again, woohoo !

[aaronjennings]

I wish I could say I avoided Australia and New Zealand on purpose, but I only figured out Iceland, Ireland and the UK

[RSOAPS]

Pfft. Look at all the Lifeline Cowards, scared to death by a bunch of stamps.

[lorcand1990]

Argh, could've saved a lifeline and played Iceland.. but then I thought the Navidad one was Spain so probably would've ended up picking that!

Tomorrow's question will be easy... right @E.N. ?... right?

[Jluv]

Very happy with a 3! Well done @Trigger . Would never have guessed Iceland.

[aaronjennings]

23rd time's the charm

I name checked Mexico or Spain in my PM for that but absolutely wasn't certain and would have been leaning towards Spain. 

I knew the Iceland flag thankfully 😂 and only Ireland and the UK otherwise

[E.N.]

Tomorrow's question will be easy... right @E.N. ?... right?

Tomorrow's question is actually crap, I'm going to abandon it!

Which means I need to write a new one tonight. I've got a couple of half baked ideas 🙈

[Leg End Reject]

Well fuck it I could have said Ireland, that and the UK were the only ones I knew!

[Sephiroth_Dude]

I guess most people had the same idea as me 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[jp liz v1]

Pfft. Look at all the Lifeline Cowards, scared to death by a bunch of stamps.

I knew none not even Ireland    I've no stamp knowledge only the rip off prices An Post are charging

[nothing]

I didn't know any, but guessed at Ireland and New Zealand. Wasn't confident enough, figured I'd use the lifeline and not be left with it

[Leg End Reject]

I only knew Ireland because of the green postbox and the UK because of the red one.

[jp liz v1]

[Barna77]

Piñatas in Spain? 

Breathe in.... breathe out.....































No we don't 

[HildaSilvioOgden]

Well fuck it I could have said Ireland, that and the UK were the only ones I knew!

I didn't even figure out those two 😁.

Just looked, thought I haven't a clue and went for the lifeline. 😁

[E.N.]

Is that not where you keep the chorizo for the paella?

[E.N.]

[HildaSilvioOgden]

[Necro]

Right that's enough thinking on my first day off. Back to bed for me!
