Alphabet Sheep 2 - The Reveal!

[Necro]

Time for another Alphabet Sheep Reveal! This time with extra letters!

The basic jist:

This time we are going to make things even more confusing - I'm giving you 27 questions!

Each answer must begin with a different letter of the alphabet.

"But Necro, there's only 26 letters of the alphabet!" I hear you say - well, yes.

But in this game you can use one letter - TWICE!




And the questions below....

1. A shape
   
2. An Irish MEP
   
3. A chocolate bar
   
4. An Oasis Song
   
5. A Taoiseach
   
6. A city the Olympics were held in
   
7. A country on the European mainland
   
8. A province in Ireland
   
9. A county in Leinster
   
10. An Irish Olympic gold medalist
    
11. A river in Ireland
    
12. One of the Seven Dwarves
    
13. A winner of the US Masters (golf)
    
14. A US city
    
15. A Premier League club
    
16. A flavour of ice cream
    
17. A european airport
    
18. A Forum of Games poster
    
19. An ocean of the world
    
20. A games console
    
21. An Arsenal player
    
22. A Hogwarts pupil
    
23. A Hogwarts School House
    
24. A resident of Craggy Island
    
25. One of the 6 main characters from Friends
    
26. Something you'd find in a kitchen
    
27. An Irish President
    

Reveal will be about 7pm with maybe a short break at the halfway point so Necro can put some children to bed (and also grab a beer )

Still time to enter until about 6.30 or so!!

[Mam of 4]

I may go back and look at my answers to see which letter I used twice

[nothing]

This is not going to go well

[Mam of 4]

See you all at 7!!

[Mam of 4]

I've come to the conclusion that the three of us whose names are in white will be on the podium 😀

[aaronjennings]

I usually go in to these Alphabet Sheep with confidence, and end up out of the running before we reach the letter D, so expecting more of the same

[Declan A Walsh]

I just had a look at the answers I gave. What was I thinking of in the case of some of my choices - I must have panicked!      

[Necro]

We'll kick off shortly with our first question which of course is

Question 1: A shape

[Leg End Reject]

I've come to the conclusion that the three of us whose names are in white will be on the podium 😀

Or bottom of the pile!

[Leg End Reject]

Oh Jesus I made a huge error with the shape and picked an obscure one for the letter I used.

[Necro]

Question 1: A shape

It's our simple circle that sheeps here to kick things off with 8 of you aboard. Some love for Quadrilateral too, and 2 aboard Triangle with 6 aces!

Question 2: An Irish MEP

Irish MEPs, eh? Who exactly are they and what do they do...



And secondly, as will happen a lot in this when it comes to names...

First name, surname? Surname, first name? Or even nickname?

[Jluv]

Well! That was a great start🙄 and this time I knew it was sheep!

[Necro]

Question 2: An Irish MEP

It's Clare Daly who sheeps here, recent notoriety probably playing a factor I suspect.. Ming Flanagan suffers from people not being sure which way to put his name

I'm happy enough with that 3 , there's a few names there that I refused to put down

[aaronjennings]

I was worried about a Kangaroo with Liam Aylward there

Question 3: A chocolate bar




Perhaps you picked one of the above treats for your chocolate of choice.

Perhaps you went with a wildcard...

[Necro]

Question 3: A chocolate bar

The wildcard doesn't pay off on this occasion. I wouldn't feel too bad though Leg End, you scored the exact same as Zaph with his Twix and people probably eat them everyday

It's a big big sheep onto Yorkie though.

I have never heard of Q'uma. .

[Leg End Reject]

I have never heard of Q'uma. .

Neither did I, I had to Google to use up the q.

Not my finest hour. 🤣

[aaronjennings]

I didn't think girls would be able to answer Yorkie...

[Necro]

Question 4: An Oasis Song



Did you say Maybeeee here. Or perhaps you looked back in Anger?

At the end of the day you just gotta Roll With It and hope you Cast No Shadow.

[Mam of 4]

I have never heard of Q'uma. .

Neither did I, I had to Google to use up the q.

Not my finest hour. 🤣

Lol , that's why I said I'd get rid of the Q in the first answer 😁

[Necro]

Question 4: An Oasis Song

Another monster sheep here, that's not good news for our Acers - or indeed Zaph, Edser, Mam or Liz who miss a second big sheep in a row...

Indeed it's the four named above who inhabit the bottom 4 places of our table after that. And yes I'm talking about the bottom of the table because there's still no change at the top Leg End and Shane climb a few places whilst Declan takes a tumble mind you!

Scores after question 5:

Necrina tops the poll (yep, the puns are here to stay!) as rumours of brown envelopes begin to surface....

Down the bottom Zaph has a lot to do to get himself out of the spoon position already, 7 points adrift of Liz...

Long way to go yet though.

No, I think I'll be claiming my first one tonight.  I knew I'd screwed up royally when Toto told me what she had for the chocolate bar.  That's going to have a knock on effect through the rest of my answers, some of which were sketchy enough to begin with.

[aaronjennings]

I've heard of nepotism, but there are definite signs of Necrotism there
