Well a wooden spoon again! @Mi-Amigo

I know nothing about East Enders

Hurdles not much knowledge there : briefly watch the event

Don't know a Shepherd😅

Saw this Film in our Local Cinema but never commit names to memory,

clogs up the wheels 😂 Same for Canterbury Tales

I have never seen 2 pints of lager and a packet of crisps 🙄

Couple of Science questions, need to guess here

Not a "fan" of the Olympics

Will do best
