Question 5 again seems to have been the choice of the majority with 18 of you providing an answer and naming a high street bank.

I quite liked it, it made me sound tough!

Another 8 points deleted by me with Barclays. Thought you Brits had enough of your Banks

Quickly moving onto Q6 (Scores will come after 7 and 12 instead of 5 and 8 due to extended number of questions). 16 of you looked at the stickers on the apples in your fruit bowl and provided the answer to the following question...

I went with Granny Smith, not Golden Delicious Spired.

Question 7 proves the most popular so far, to little surprise. The 2 that missed this may live to regret it.

I quite liked Matt Le Tissier in his playing days, that's why I voted for him and not bloody Paul Merson who got the majority of votes. Always the same fault by me.

So at nearly the halfway stage, despite sitting top Dave has answered 7 questions and can only gain points in 3 more.

Haddock and IanH look best placed to pounce at the minute with only 4 and 3 questions answered respectively and some wise choices made.

We'll now take a 10 minute break.

Join me soon for part 2 of....

[Spirederman]

I have returned....

Belatedly.

Q8 coming right up

 

[Spirederman]

To my absolute surprise, with a question I thought most would avoid 18 of you gave me the name of one of the 4 Teenage Mutant Ninja (Far too violent, should have been Hero ) Turtles.

Ian and Haddock both show their hand here, which one has dropped a bollock?

All went a bit Pete Tong for me at the end there.

 

[Dirk]

epic didn't pick the 19th century US president question but the Bronte sisters? Astonishing, but maybe his mother or sister is named Anne?

Thanks Spirederman for another interesting round of Sheep. Although I am at the bottom here (or near the bottom) I had much fun to follow it live for the most part. Looking forward to the next round. Bye!

 

[Jackinky]

Why did everyone suddenly turn to Jefferson? I swear Disraeli's much more famous. Anyway, that's me probably bottom overall.

Disraeli was British Jackinky.

I had some decent points towards the end, but choosing unpopular questions (2017 film, Bronte sister) did for me a bit.

Edit: 2nd on my return to sheep, can't complain!
