Thanks, I was thinking that the latest incarnation is one? Although I am aiming to come second looking like a stride forward for first. Happy with my aces though this week

[horseplayer]

love it Ant

[jbworldwide]

Ok I'm going to start one, on Q8. well done though. Are you allowing Dartford as in Dartford Crossing as the official name is the QE2?

I took the view that the bridge and the crossing were synonymous - in fact on my list of Toll Bridges .pdf it is shown as Dartford River crossing.

No J5 no1s though

[Ironside]

i might win this with my great answer for number 11

[Ironside]

fml would of been in real bad shape if i had taken a stab at a gull

[Ironside]

and a 5 penalty award for skimming the rules

Finally!

Question 11 Sheep question, pick a colour of the rainbow. The score for this question will be multiplied by -1 and you are therefore attempting to find the most popular answer here

16 of you chose Red
sixteen!!

so -16 to your score
Longines         Red
dwh103         Red
TightEnd         Red
Ant040689         Red
Graham C         Red
HutchGF         Red
JBWorldwide      Red
George2Loose      Red
RedsGirl         Red
JK            Red
Ruud            Red
Tal            Red
MintTrav         Red
kinboshi         Red
horseplayer         Red
Blueace         Red

two for the unrhymable
swinebag22      Orange
Fatcatstu         Orange

and one each elsewhere
moonandback      Violet
stribling         Yellow
millidonk          Green
BulldozerD         Indigo
Boba Fett         Blue



The sheep score is -16

Add 5 = -11
Multiply by -1 = 11 for the incorrect answer delivered by just one person
