Very interesting quiz @Mi-Amigo, these really do make me learn a lot every time. So, thanks for another great one!

And it seems like a lot of things are happening at @LukasB 's flat according to @gmarkj's imagination

Thank you @TheresaV

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your 3 - only just missing out on a Red Thinker.

Maybe @gmarkj `s account of what goes on in @LukasB `s flat could be the reason why he didn`t take part in this quiz

Thank you @TallTrees

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on getting a Red Thinker.

Nice to hear that you managed to save/rescue/help a bat.

Maybe you will be successful with Monday`s WRQ which is an "Odd Questions" edition, in which quizzers have done very well in the past editions.

Urgh guys gutted - sorry I missed it @Mi-Amigo - I totally forgot.

But @gmarkj is right so I would have had an unfair advantage
