Aaaaahhhh...

🤣

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @Cleoriff and @pgn for your posts.

Not quite the reaction I was expecting, although I admit a couple of the events in the last year in the quiz

might not be quite so familiar...

Looking forward to your answers later.

Good luck.

There might be another "Not" multi-choice quiz in the New Year.

In the meantime, good luck with the End of the Year Quiz
