Sheep 2012

Time to kick this off again.

For those who don't know how to play, it's a simple trivia game. Rounds of sheep can be either white, where the aim of the game is to score as many points as possible, or black, where the aim is to score as few as possible. 1 point is awarded for every person who gives a particular answer - so for example, if I were to ask for a batsman to have scored 10,000 Test runs, and 8 people answer Sachin Tendulkar, then 8 points are scored. In White Sheep, there are no incorrect answers, as the aim is to pick what you think the most popular answer will be. In Black Sheep, the aim of the game is to pick the answer you think will be least popular - however incorrect answers are penalised by an additional point on top of the most popular answer - so in the above example, a black sheep answer of Chris Martin would score 9 points.

This round will be White Sheep, as I am a lazy **** and cannot be bothered checking whether answers I receive are correct.

Assume 11 relates to the individual member being banned on more than one occasion and not a **** like Precam who's been banned under mulitple guises (allegedly)

Is it an unwritten rule to not use the internet or books, just general knowledge? Just checking

EDIT: sent anyway.
