I had a feeling I wouldn't do very well this time but still did better than not participating. 😅 Well done to everyone though, lot's of very high scores!

I did see some funny answers @gmarkj with the classic TheresaV answer and also @pgn with Mrs as the first name! 🤣 Thanks @Mi-Amigo for the constant questions and find the time to mark them all as well, see you Monday. 😊
