NEW GAME! Boxing Kangaroo 13/07 Deadline 2:15pm

by paperbag_puncher Thu 05 Jul 2012, 10:20 am

First topic message reminder :

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

NOTE THIS IS KANGAROO. In kangaroo answers must be incorrect. Incorrect answers score the same as in sheep, while correct answers score 0. Highest score wins. Again I have recycled some questions as there is a different dynamic to this game again

THIS GAME IS JUST FOR FUN.

Name a boxer who fought and lost to Ricky hatton
Name a current British boxer who holds a World Title
Name and English boxer who was born in London
Name a British boxer who has never been KO'd
Name a British HW who is fighting at Upton Park this weekend
Name a character from the Simpsons whos surname is Simpson
Name a British actor who hasn't won an Oscar
Name an English city
Name a country that uses the Euro
Name a football team that retained its premier league status in the 20011/2012 season

Everyone welcome please PM me your answers in an unnumbered list by 2:15Pm if you want to play. Remember you are looking for the most popular answer

rules:

Anyone can play as long as you enter before each individual game starts. I usually do a couple in the mornings.

Join in any time, as long as you get your answers in by the deadline (take note please owen!).

Next game will be tomorrow.

Haha...

My Apologies Union...completely lost track of time and for some reason thought 4.30 was the deadline...

Mind occupied with sorting out Season 2 of the OMPL.

by Il Gialloblu Thu 05 Jul 2012, 4:44 pm

Cheers for the last game Union.

by JabMachineMK2 Thu 05 Jul 2012, 4:46 pm

Cheers Union

You're welcome Top Hat - I had a brainfart and couldn't think.......twice.

by TopHat24/7 Thu 05 Jul 2012, 4:56 pm

I was stumped by both I and K Jab so understand your pain.....

by paperbag_puncher Thu 05 Jul 2012, 4:58 pm

Questions for tomorrow morning's game are up. May as well put them up now and let some of the evening lurkers play.

by TopHat24/7 Thu 05 Jul 2012, 5:23 pm

god knows where your mind was at for the first two questions PP but I do like the last!

by TopHat24/7 Thu 05 Jul 2012, 5:24 pm

PS: for q3, do you mean 'brand' rather than 'type'?

by compelling and rich Thu 05 Jul 2012, 6:25 pm

answers are in, got a day off tomorrow so will probably still be in bed for the deadline

Its getting hard not to repeat questions so some questions may seem odd... Ha someone must have been annoying me in work when I came up with the first 2. I'm looking for a type of cereal rather than Brand. would be too easy to just say Kellogs or Nestle etc..

by **owen10ozzy** Fri 06 Jul 2012, 1:26 am

Sent! I shall come on after 10.30 to finally see my name on the winners list...

And no that isn't the drink talking...well perhaps a little but at least I have a ready made excuse!!

Oh and yes this did take me around 10 minutes to write to ensure I didn't make any mistakes!!

by spencerclarke Fri 06 Jul 2012, 8:29 am

Didn't manage to get on yesterday so well happy to see I'd won one!!! Get in!!!

by paperbag_puncher Fri 06 Jul 2012, 9:00 am

Note: deadline has been changed to 10am. Answers in by then if you want to play.

Yup 14 so far. Friday mornings are usually quiet for me so may as well try squeeze in a few games.

by paperbag_puncher Fri 06 Jul 2012, 9:16 am

Deadline cut again. Could start now but want to give others a chance to play. I see some regs like alma, jammin, jabmachine and seanmichaels floating about. Get your answers in.

by paperbag_puncher Fri 06 Jul 2012, 9:24 am

Jabmachine - Can you clarify your answer to the Olympic question. There are no wrong answers but you need to pick one. If I don't hear back from you I'll take your first answer. Cheers.

I'm still waiting for the game where it's only me so I can finally win one.
