I don't know about you, but I am PEEHSing this one... I have skills.

[lorcand1990]

If I'm in trouble after the first 2 rounds I'll probably spoon. I think I got some serious sheep burnout towards the end of this but we'll see how it goes!

Yeah, I've no faith in my round 5. I kind of hope I'm out of contention after 4 🙈

Found round 5 the hardest myself, just soooo many options for each question

Question 1: The nickname of a county in Ireland eg Rebel County for Cork (Rebel County = 0)

It's a good start for the Kingdom lovers in our midst with a 12 strong sheep meaning half of you get good news.

The other half... not so much.

Would you rather get back to the peehs? 🤣

[aaronjennings]

Oh, I misread that question, I thought it was a nickname for Cork, but not Rebel County

[ari101]

I'll decide tomorrow morning when I see the next question 😋

[Trigger]

[Leg End Reject]

FFS! Sheep in peehs, ace in sheep, I can't get a bloody break here! 😤😡😠🤬😈

[Necro]

Question 2: An Irish military base

DID YOU KNOW?

There are 46 military installations within the 26 counties currently, and 4 overseas.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ir...tallations

That's plenty to pick from.... ye managed 8 between all 24 of you

[lorcand1990]

Oh, I misread that question, I thought it was a nickname for Cork, but not Rebel County

I'd say that was an option but if it was question 1 we'd lose all the people from Cork for the rest of the game cause they'd still be going on about how great Cork is 

[Necro]

Question 2: An Irish military base

Cathal Brugha is the most popular answer but Curragh Camp has 6 which is not too bad, which davetherave informs me: **Technically “The Curragh” is made up of 7 different barracks’, named after the seven signatories of the proclamation in 1916, but for the purposes of a Foggers sheep it will probably be good enough.

Erm... not quite dave, you didn't figure on the Dubs never leaving Dublin

Phew, I used to live round the corner from the Cathal Brugha Barracks so that was the only answer I could think of, I was worried it might mean nothing to anyone else

Scores after question 2:

Homer, Shane, lorcan, Barney, Sawduck, EN and Trigger share the lead after two. CJ Maxx and guirienespana are not off to the most profitable of starts but there are still oh... only 48 questions to go

It's going to be a long night! Why did I do this?

[Trigger]

Aww no one can have 50 aces now 😞

[Necro]

Question 3: A lake in Ireland



Did you go north or south of the border for your pick here?

Perhaps your choice sounded like a horse's whinny...




Or maybe it's the one you can't pronounce without sounding like a northsider 

[ari101]

It's going to be a long night! Why did I do this?

High five for having 4 after 2 qs 🙈😅🤣

High five for having 4 after 2 qs 🙈😅🤣

"High five", that's cruel

Question 3: A lake in Ireland




It's the Horse Lough up the north which is our big sheep while Liz has already lost her mind three questions in and starts naming places in Kerry hoping there's a matching lake

Damn, Lough Neagh was my first thought and I somehow talked myself out of it

[Necro]

Scores after question 3:

Our list of joint sheepers at the top is down to 4 as Trigger and EN get lost in seperate lakes.

Poor Mutleyboo drops to the bottom of the table but there's a long way to go yet (and I actually mean it for once )

Question 4: An Irish landmark outside of Dublin



Of course Dublin was banned for this question so technically it's 31 counties. Here's some of your selections:

[lorcand1990]

What lake can't you pronounce without sounding like a northsider?

That sounds like it should have a punchline! (No, you can't punch me btw)
