TallTrees · ‎05-05-2021

Yeh! Thank you

Glad you enjoyed the little jokes along the way @Mi-Amigo

I have been to Jodrell Bank just a few huge dishes

Seriously though great to have been there.

** Nearby is a sand quarry this is more amazing

There are massive vehicles driving over the sand makes a car look like a toy and because

of the glare drivers wear "Rommel Goggles"! looks like a movie set from Star Wars.

The Bank ~ suppose ought to know this ~ this is where BIG decisions are made to make or break

HAPPINESS IS BEE SHAPED

Cleoriff · ‎05-05-2021

@TallTrees Loved your answers...Particularly Dis May (for Theresa May's husband) and Dockleaf County

That's what this quiz is all about. Having a laugh.

Well done everyone. Have to say I guessed two.. ie Chelsea and the stinging nettle one...

Veritas Numquam Perit

Mi-Amigo · ‎05-05-2021

Thank you @MI5 @TallTrees @Cleoriff

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

@TallTrees answers did make me laugh - especially Brian May getting a PhD for hair dressing

- as @Cleoriff said it`s comments like that which make the WRQ fun, which is what it is meant to be.

@Cleoriff - shows that sometimes a guess can pay off.

Hope all of you, and everyone else, likes some, if not all, of the questions in today`s Odd edition of WRQ which is now up on a separate thread.
