Some off-world ones this Monday, @Mi-Amigo - need to expand my horizons a little, I think.

None of the questions taken from my quiz books were rated "difficult" but a couple of questions which I came up with over the weekend are not easy and - yes do need thinking about.

TallTrees — Mon, 13 Sep 2021 15:01:32 GMT

Today I finish a little earlier than usual : I have looked through the questions.

Play station stuff not my thing.

Planets I like but don't know everything so not much use if I don't know everything😀

Movie 1 Audrey and I do like her. She is so elegant and I do remember seeing this film ages ago on TV. I think this maybe the one because it is iconic. Anyway as it is with me it will have to be this.

I think I do know the Gallery but new Galleries are difficult as I do not make a note of these in my mind except the Tate in Cornwall and the Tate is really notable, not a prat opening a gallery because has spare cash 😎 did I say prat - "in my opinion"

Movie 2 Never heard of it, of course 🙄

Cards are difficult because I find them utterly boring except Cluedo 🙄

Good variety of questions @Mi-Amigo

Thank you for the Quiz and I am sending in my answers shortly by PM

Congratulations everyone. Thanks for another great quiz @Mi-Amigo. I'll check the new one when I get back on later. 👍

Re: White Room Quiz Mon 13 Sept 2021

pgn — Wed, 15 Sep 2021 07:58:36 GMT

Roman Holiday was a guess - good film. But there's nothing like a brisk(!) game of Bezique 🃏

Well done all and thank you, @Mi-Amigo.

Re: White Room Quiz Mon 13 Sept 2021

TheresaV — Wed, 15 Sep 2021 08:16:48 GMT

I have never ever heard of Bezique, so learned a new thing today (as always 😅). Great game @Mi-Amigo and glad @gmarkj got to fit Lukas's best painting in there 😂
