Have sent a pm winging your way.  Hope it lands well.

My usual unusual thoughts

1. History was never my strong suit.  Even last week can sometimes prove difficult.

2. Just taking a stab because well why not

3. Crossing my fingers for this one, sure I’m right but you never know

4. Never heard of it guvnor, sounds posh though

5. Ok, this bit of history I think I know

6. Another guess….thinking I preferred last weeks quiz…

7. Well, I’m a casualty of this quiz

 8. Another good guess, reaching into the depths of memory
