Blimey, 4 silver thinkers. Well done one and all

Special thanks to @Anonymous who made me giggle with the answer 'testicles'. Just thinking of someone going around collecting testicles.

Super answers, especially @Anonymous's "test tickle" one 🤣

Roman names featured in our pub quiz this week - we got the answer wrong (overthought it) for the Mare Nostrum, so had had a big debate ( = argument!) about it. Slippy lot, those Romans ! 😂

Well done all, and thanks, @Mi-Amigo!
