Forum Games Sheep Advent Calendar!

Mary Berry :eek::eek::eek:

Oh god how did I not think of Mary Berry

sKeith

thought black first, went with 2nd, robinson.

Cathmandooo

I went with Mary J Blige

I had Robinson, McAleese, McEvoy and Mary Mary Quite Contrary on my list

Didn't think of Mary Poppins either, scarlet for myself :pac:

ah jaysis, how did I forget some of these Marys??!!

Loads there I didn’t think of

My order

Mary Robinson
Mary McAleese
Mary Berry
Mary Magdalene
Proud Mary
Mary Lou McDonald

quickbeam

Was gonna go with Robinson but I thought our younger demographic would go with McAleese so I went there.

Kolido

Mary poppins ftw

Necro

I thought everyone's fave lady of the night would be popular tbh, Mary of the Magdalene tribe

Mary Mary Quite Contrary :

Love it:D

aaronjennings

Completely forgot Robinson and McAleese

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Was thinking my best bet might be Robinson or McAleese, but went with Mary Black thinking it might be the safest bet to sheep rather than splitting between the two presidents.

Didn't even think of Poppins though, that's a great one. Damn it! This one was hard.

I've listened to a lot of Mary J Blige today

Cathmandooo also mentioned this classic, which really should have been included in Kolido's One Hit Wonder comp...

A selection of the mental breakdowns and personal abuse I received

So many Marys!

There are no famous Mary's!!!!

Jaysus this is a hard one. There’s more Mary’s than grains of sand.

Ye see this is just ****ing with us now....I bet you make your parents very proud lol

You make the Grinch look like a Christmas lover. Mary Black is the first name Google gives me , going by the Deja-rule I should go for Mary White (who is a actually a neighbour of mine!! - don't think she is boards famous though)

Eh, f**k, not a clue what to do here... the first few that sprung to mind were Mary Black, Mary Robinson, Mary McAleese, Mary Berry, and Mary Lou McDonald... Probably missing someone completely obvious

Obviously Mary Robinson is the only answer here right? What other Mary's are there apart from McAleese? But she's the lesser former Irish president named Mary. Like seriously? Mary Brady? Is that even a person? Ohhhhhhhhhhh I googled. There's lots of Mary's. Jasus. This is a tough question. I am a terrible Mary. But sure lookit. Phil Collins shares a birthday with me and that's all that matters. :cool:

I was going to say Mary, Queen of Scots, but then I Googled who your one was who complained to the BBC in the 80s (Mary Whitehouse), and it turned up Mary Berry as a related search, and now I don't know which to pick...

Electric Nitwit

Right, here's the scores!

It's like we're back in the 90s - Mary Robinson sheeps with Mary Black hot on her heels. A good selection behind them and an unfortunate ace for Mary J Blige

I'm glad I didn't got for my first choice: Mary, Queen of Scots :P

Or your second, Mary Whitehouse

Kolido

Booboo, your tactic doesnt work, I was going mary robinson first

Tauriel

I was thinking of Mary J Blige, Mary Read (infamous pirate) and Mary McCormack.

I'm ashamed to say I completely forgot about the 3 Mary's from Irish politics.

Necro

No one picked Mary from John and Mary in Father Ted either

Mary from that Gas Networks Ireland ad with Daniel O'Donnell did cross my mind

Mam of 4

Wohoo , that was much better than I thought !
I honestly thought no one else would have picked Mary Black .

Although Mary Poppins was a brilliant choice (raging I never thought of it tbh !)

Ok so I didn't score too badly but I am utterly ashamed for not thinking of Mary Robinson, whom I really admire. Her name didn't even enter my head.

I almost went with Mary J Blige but was hoping more people would keep up the Biblical theme.

OK folks, all the answers are in!

Well this was more controversial than I thought it would be

A few answers given. One of these sheeped, one aced. Who did you go for?



I will do the reveal at 5pm

No changes now, so feel free to run with Strawbs suggestion

I guess the reveal has taken place, but until I saw this post I hadn't thought of another Mary. This could be badd......

tusk

Ok that wasn't too bad. After the whole Jesus, Mary and Joseph Yesterday, I was sure magdelen would be top of people's minds.

I'm glad I didn't try to think it through though.

Cathmandooo

That was an epic fail, I should have kept my quiet confidence more quiet

osh

Wasn't at all sure about this one. Robinson, Black and Poppins were my top 3 picks but it was really hard to guess at what might sheep

Mary Berry :eek::eek::eek:

Oh god how did I not think of Mary Berry

I did, now to scroll to the reveal and see what happened

Spook_ie

5 points, I'm happy could have been going for Bloody Mary or Mary Mary quite contrary

Ted_YNWA

I think we have started a tradition now to abuse a sheep game mod.

I think I understand now why you wooden spoon. You're not meant to pick the one that you think no one else would pick :P

Lol !!

I meant when I picked her I thought ok , she's well known , then I read the thread and saw posts with The Four/Five Marys and thought oh no , no one else will have picked her !

If any of that makes sense , if not , I just suck at sheep :pac:

That's exactly what I did. You just can't trust the youth of today.

At least he wasn't watching me the whole time if he thinks I am only a bit of one.

Siobh73

Ok, I'll take the 5 points although my first instinct was Mary Black. I was thinking more global fame than just national fame so discounted the 2 presidents. Will go back to first instincts tomorrow for the much easier question to come.....

Scorpion Sting

The two Presidents didn’t even enter my head for this. Also it’s the first time I haven’t sheeped so far.

Mollyb60

Like I said to EN, Mary Robinson is THE BEST Mary. (Apart from me obvs)

I was actually gonna pick you for the lols but then I figured you might not appreciate having your full name outed on Boards

Toto Wolfcastle

I wavered between Robinson, McAleese, J Blige and Poppins. That was a really tough choice!

If today was a participant's birthday, would that participant be eligible for 30 birthday bonus points?

Asking for a friend....

Okay I've gone for my 1st thought this time, but I have a feeling my 2nd thought will do better. Jez EN, what are you doing to me.

I'm the exact same K

kitten_k

Yea me too. Went for the first one that came to mind but then thought of a better one

Sabre0001

It's the uncertainty that gets you...

I'm just glad people started throwing out names of Mary's late in the day yesterday or I definitely would have flipped.
