Thank you @Cleoriff

Pleased you seem to like the questions - although I did think some of the questions are a little "odd" and don`t fit into the usual categories for WRQ questions.

Thank you @MI5

I take it, from your slight confidence, that you like today`s questions.

I look forward to the pm from each of you with your eight answers - and, of course, everyone else who takes part in this WRQ - any time after 12 noon today.

Good luck.

Thanks @pgn

As you said, Q8 might indeed some odd - or funny - answers

To know 4 or 5 straight off is good going. Look forward to pm with your eight answers. Good luck.
