NEW GAME! Boxing Sheep II 05/07 Deadline 1:30pm

First topic message reminder :

New thread as the other one is locked.

Anyone ever play sheep? Basically I'll ask a series of "mainly boxing" related questions and the aim is to answer with the most popular answer. So for example if I asked name a heavyweight champion and 7 people said Ali they would get 7 points. If 5 said Louis they would get 5 points and so on. Whoever gets the most points wins. You would PM me your answers. I've seen it played on other forums and it seems to work well and passes some time.
Seems to be a bit of interest so we'll go again.

I have included the odd non boxing question to jazz it up a bit.

Name a country in South America
Name a country in Africa
Name a European city
Name an American city
Name a boxer from the country in South America that you picked
Name a boxer from the country in Africa you picked
Name a boxer from the European city you picked
Name a boxer from the American city you picked
Name an actor with a beard
Name an actress who would look better with a beard


Everyone welcome please PM me your answers in an unnumbered list by 1:30pm if you want to play. Remember you are looking for the most common answer.

Is Tuff Turf any good Blunkett? I don't tend to watch low quality obscure films from the '80's.

Wrestling is massive in Canada. Chris Benoit, Edge.....

Really? How exciting. I would rather go fishing with him than talk about wrasslin.

Can we take it as read that Blunkett has cheated? Either that or he's a researcher on QI and just happened to have this much random crap floating around his head!

For the next question Germany and West Germany are the same. East Germany and West Germany's records and caps were all absorbed to make what is now the German national team.

Sweden?

Good side, Sweden.

Is Germany an acceptable answer?

Shouldn't that be West Germany?

Forget that, just seen the sentence above the answers.

I believe you have a point there.

Zimbabwe dont use the Zimbabwean dollar anymore. Not since 2009. I was looking for country's whos primary currency is the dollar (you all knew that) If a country accepts the US dollar that doesn't count. I'm allowing Hong Kong.

Tino - shouldn't you be pretty clued up on currencies given your job??

Damn the rest of you for being equally smarty-pants'd with the classic pub quiz answer on the first ever winner of the WC!

DAMN YOU MALAYSIA!!!! was doing so well as well...

Damn reverse sheep!!! Its tough!

My pick for the dollar question might raise an issue too. Not sure if it will be classed as its own country.

Me too. I went Hong Kong Dollar. It is a currency, but it's HK's status as a country that's controversial.....

Strangely enough, I was going to go with HK$ as well, but I thought Gialloblu, being a pinko and all that, would go for the same. So I didn't. I'm clever like that.

I don't like reverse sheep, it's rubbish.

So what happens in the event of a tie?

tiebreaker

thank you, thank you

TopHat24/7 wrote:Tino - shouldn't you be pretty clued up on currencies given your job??

Yep!

In fairness, I just mis-read what PP was asking and jumped in trying to be clever. Which, as Gialloblu has just pointed out, I'm not.

After the Zimbabwean dollar was suspended indefinitely from 12 April 2009, Euro, United States dollar, Pound sterling, South African rand and Botswana pula are used as legal tender. The United States dollar has been adopted as the official currency for all government transactions.



Why is Zimbabwe wrong? One of my family members works there on a 6 month contract!

We have a tie break. I've decied to disqualify Blunkett. There was something fishy going on there. Blunkett if you are innocent take comfort in the fact that everyone thinks you are a lying cheating little man who cannot be trusted around children..

Afraid not Sean

Question for Ermietrude and Quentin.

What height is the Eiffel Tower in feet (according to wiki) NO INTERNET. Post your answers here asap. the closest wins.

And no Doing a Blunkett, either of you!

1000

mobilemaster8 wrote:Zimbabwe definately use US Dollars as their main currency.

What is the unit of money in Zimbabwe?

The use of the Zimbabwean dollar as an official currency was effectively abandoned on 12 April 2009. This was a result of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe legalizing the use of foreign currencies for transactions in January 2009.

Foreign currencies such as the South African Rand, Botswana Pula, Pound Sterling and the United States Dollar are used instead .

Currency in Zimbabwe: Zimbabwean dollar (ZWD) (abandoned)

I can only go on the information on the internets...

We finished on the same points mate, so I have no real grounds for calling you an incompetent and cocky know-nothing.

I won't be on any more of these today, so thanks to paperbag_puncher again for doing this.

For any further games today, I wish good luck to everyone who isn't called Blunkett.

Edit: Enjoy your holiday Tino.

Yes, enjoy your break Tino.





We will.

Well, if it's less that 1000 i am screwed so it's 50-50.

Thanks Gialloblu/TopCat.

I will enjoy it just as much as I enjoyed your recent break, Union.

I think the tie-break should be sent in private message in the future!

Not at all mate - I'd have done the same if you'd have answered first!

I'm certainly never going to forgive those pesky Malaysians though...

Well done Ermie. Seven wins is outstanding form.

Thanks again PP for running these. You may have created a monster, but you have certainly cemented your 606v2 legend in the process. Top work fella.

I am off home now to contemplate a long haul flight with four children. Awesome.

Health and happiness to you all.

Tina.

Malaysia? They use the ringgit or something obscure like that. Denoted RM from memory (though that was 2005 when I was there).

For some reason the first answer that sprang to mind other than the obvious US/Canada was 'Malaysian Dollar'... no idea why... I have just had a look and it is the ringgit...
