Thank you for the quiz @Mi-Amigo
I managed the Bronze great but that elusive Silver. Still difficult to get a set of questions that cover my interests and knowledge as it is such a wide range, not to mention I know little about tv movies, singers, football er and the rest😂
Well done everyone...
Aiming high 🚀
I suppose that is why pub quizzers are a team, like egg heads they are a team. I need a team😁

I liked your poem and hope that a Silver Thinker is not elusive for too long. As I try and give a varied mix of categories in each WRQ, there is always a chance that the questions might suit you more one week.
