    Was torn between 3 people, had a gut instict but made an initial choice against said gut instict, then immediately changed it to the 3rd option. This won't end well...

    Your PMs did give me a chuckle this morning :p

    Yeah, was out for a few drinks last night before making this decision, which I'm sure didn't help the situation... :D

    Being late to join was bad. Missing the biggest scoring day of the calendar so far was so much worse! No idea when to use my star now; some serious catching up to be done.

    Great idea for a game though :)

    🤪

    Have to say I'm loving the daily aspect to the game, it's keeping things really exciting and all to play for. Great game idea! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,186 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Thanks all, it's great to know people are enjoying it

    And your don't get the fun I have of seeing the nervous breakdowns unfold via PM :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,186 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    OK folks, time's up!

    Classic two horse race today, but who will come out on top out of these two...?

    Photo-2019-12-06-11-01-58-AM.jpg

    Is it deal or no deal for Edmonds? Is today gonna be the day that you'll throw it on Gallagher?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,186 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Some of your quotes before the results...
    Oh god oh god. I immediately thought of yer man from deal or no deal. Then Noel Fielding off the Bake off. Would more people know him than Noel Edmonds? Would they even know his name? And that's not even including Noel Gallagher! OMG what to do what to do?????
    Noel Gallagher. If I don't win this competition, I'll get him to play Wonderwall on repeat outside your window
    I know I should pick Gallagher or someone but feck it's Christmas and I think
    Noel Edmunds for some great Christmas Day shows that tore at the heart strings
    Noel Galla... ah... Edmonds
    Well it's clearly gonna be either Fielding or Edmonds isn't it? My problem is, I don't know what age the other boardsies are and that's what this really comes down to. Personally I'd go with Noel Fielding, but my head says quite a few of these other folk are a bit more old school, so I'm going with...Noel Edmonds

    ...five minutes later...

    Actually, scrap all of that, because I just remembered Noel Gallagher exists and I'm putting my faith in music, so I'm quickly changing my decision to...Noel Gallagher
    And one I'll need explaining to me... :confused:
    I'm going with a pretend person!
    I hope someone else does...... Santa Claus / Father Christmas

    I think half the problem is I'm doing reasonably well at the moment and that's adding pressure. I'm sure I'll mess up royally in a day or two and then it won't be anywhere near as anxiety inducing as it is right now... ;)

    Thought of Gallagher or Fielding. Even considered Coward.

    Never even thought of Edmunds.

    No Noelles considered???
