Next week will be a mix of easier and slightly harder ones - and I`ll try and avoid another "toughie"

Thanks again 

[gmarkj]

Ouch. Not a good result for me this week!
Well done to those that got a bronze thinker, and thanks to @Mi-Amigo for hosting a right stinker of a quiz!

[Mi-Amigo]

Thanks guys.

I was surprised but well pleased how many got the Ealing Comedy one right as I thought I was the only one who was a fan of those films.

As @gmarkj and @MI5 said there were some tough questions this week - but hope you all at least had fun giving it a go.

This is your quiz - I`m just the question-master.

If anyone has a suggestion for a future "themed" quiz, where the questions are, in some way, related to a topic or subject, please pm me and I`ll have a look.

[Cleoriff]

@Mi-Amigo 

Two choices for a themed quiz..

1) Bedlam

2) The Mad Hatters Teaparty

And on that note, I will leave you all to it.

[jonsie]

Not easy but certainly fun!
