Apologies for the delay in posting the results for this - technical problems rather than anything else.

You're not dribbling into Scurra's beard too are you? :shock:

Right, after some messing about and a couple of lost entries...

Here are the results

(The winning tactic appeared to be to enter both the singular and the plural in several categories, which worked surprisingly well.)

Thanks to everyone who took part.

Well done Wulfruna. :D :D

And what did I say? I ALWAYS come last in this game. :roll: Why do you suppose that is?

Well done Wulfruna!

I'm not such a black sheep as I thought, but I'm not sure why my rock and roll didn't count. :( Maybe it was the wrong type of rock and roll. ;)

Because you put "and" (or rather "&") in front of it! That makes it significantly different as an answer.

*Sigh.* I seem to have done as badly as Mr S did. :roll:
I probably get the booby prize for the lowest score on a round - a measly 4 for 'rock'. I clearly think slightly askew to other people, especially regarding 'tube'.

Cenwulf, take comfort in the fact that my score was SUBSTANTIALLY lower than yours. And I'm not convinced MBH did score 0... :?

Mind you I'm feeling so dense at the moment I'm probably reading it all wrong. :roll:

Having studied the results, here are the 'Black Sheep' scores:
=1) Wulfruna 9
=1) chazzie 9
3) giraffe 10
4) LAT 11
5) MBH 13
=6) Eirian 14
=6) Fernando 14
8) evilkeen 15
9) kingsley 16
=10) gill216 18
=10) laura 18
=10) pnward 18
13) kathlyn 19
14) Cenwulf 20
15) Bunnylump 21

Wulfruna and Chazzie had 'no black sheep' in six of the rounds.
By contrast, Bunnylump and pnward had 'black sheep' in every round.
The highest score in a round was by chazzie in 'Winter' (44).
