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

In fairness, strict interpretation of the question Jammin' was the only one who put in a correct answer. Wheat, maize, oats, barley etc are all cereals. Everyone else submitted breakfast cereal brands.

by Il Gialloblu Fri 06 Jul 2012, 9:58 am

More products than brands.

by jammin Fri 06 Jul 2012, 9:59 am

Oh man! A type of cereal, I took to be, eg. wheat, oats etc!

I didnt know you mean a BRAND of cereal!

London stood in for somebody last minute but I can't remember who it was....it was someone going through a recession or something from memory and didn't feel they could justify the spend....

by alanqlm Fri 06 Jul 2012, 10:38 am

Ive never even finished top half never mind top if I manage to throw this away it would be the ultimate blow up... then again I support QPR and we managed to concede 2 goals in injury time.
