Great quiz, @Mi-Amigo - had to go investigate the depths of the posh glasses cabinet to get the Waterford crystal one though, the old Hippocampus nearly did for me there 🤣 

Well done all, and onto the quiz for the latter part of the week... 👍

[MI5]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo and well done all.

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @Cleoriff @gmarkj @pgn @MI5 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards - sorry you only just missed out on Bronze Thinker @gmarkj 

I hope each of you, and everyone else, likes some, if not all, of the questions in today`s WRQ [with a couple of headscratchers ?] which is now up on separate thread.

[RafaC]

Almost a red thinker! That was close 😅

Thanks @Mi-Amigo and well done everyone. Now off to today's WRQ.

[Comben]

Thanks for organising Mi-Amigo. I can't believe I fell hard from grace with a disappointing 2, although my excuse is I've been a little distracted because I'm busy looking for work. That said I'll aim for better score on Wednesday's WRQ.

Well done to so many Silver Thinkers though. 👏

Oh and also I didn't get round to including a gif or posting that I had sent my answers because I was in a bit of a rush. So to make up for it, here is my related gif... Better late than never.
