    3 questions left and Homer is holding strong at the top. Will it continue or will there be last minute heartbreak as is so common?

  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 53,735 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    34 points now the lead... a truly masterful performance in sheeping. But one question remains.....

    Elsewhere sKeith is taking a run at the wooden spoon, just a point between himself (I checked) and khalessi now.

    Great game Necro, really enjoyed it. And congrats to Homer, great performance. On a personal level, yet again I was beaten out of sight by my wife, but this time it counts. I have to beat her in the next two we both take part in or dinner is on me. Do you think she'd prefer McDonalds or KFC?

    Now excuse me while I stare at the tricolour for a few hours.

    Delighted to top 10 after being down around bottom 10 through the H's..

    Thanks for running Necro. As always, brilliantly ran and revealed! :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,404 ✭✭✭✭sKeith


    thanks necro, really enjoyed that.

    See there was no love for jordan, the irish team who got a 1 2 on the podium in f1 and they didnt even have the irish national anthem to play :(

    some things i didnt expect, x-men didn't ace, but yuventus did.

    congrats on the win homer.

    well done on retaining the spoon kalessi
