Thanks for hosting @Mi-Amigo 

[BobM]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo for another great quiz 👍

You caught us all out with the early morning results today.

Well done everyone.

[Cleoriff]

I was in Spain when Conchita beat Navratilova. The place erupted. A firework display was great to watch that night. You know what the Spanish are like with fireworks. 😂

A great quiz @Mi-Amigo and on to the next....

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @pgn @MI5 @BobM @Cleoriff 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards.

The answers, results and awards are up a little earlier than usual as I am expecting a visitor "some time between 9 am and 11 am" [as vague as that], so didn`t want to keep you and the other quizzers waiting.

For the same reason, today`s WRQ is now up on a separate thread. Hope you like some, if not all, of the questions. 

[RafaC]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo for another round of great questions!

Half a star is my lowest score so far I guess, but better than no star at all! 😆

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @RafaC 

Sorry you didn`t do quite so well this time.

Maybe you might do better with the questions in today`s WRQ which is now up on a separate thread

[RafaC]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo., I'll certainly try!
