@MI5

Thank you. Hope you like the categories and questions. There`s no rush and look forward to pm with your eight answers when you can send them after 12 noon today. Good luck.

@Cleoriff

Thank you. Hope you like the categories and questions. As it is usual at this time of the year for faimlies to drag out the board games, I thought it would be appropriate to include a question on Monopoly.

Good luck.

@pgn

Thank you. Pleased you like some of the questions. I tried to give a bit of a mix with the subjects today, with the WRQ Seasonal Quiz 2 coming up on Wednesday.

@Mi-Amigo My very old monopoly board is in the loft...unless I can remember the colours, the board will stay in the loft. I am well past the time I could stand on the bannister and lift myself into the loft.

I know @pgn will know the Lough question...

Oh, be kind on the WRSQ2, @Mi-Amigo - I'll have been on the Arctic Yule Fuel by then, you might get a few very tangential replies

As luck would have it, we used to name the computer systems where I work using geographical features of the region... And yes, we have a key system that uses that name still, @Cleoriff 👌

"Loughing" all the way to the bank with that one

I think I know it, thought can't be as sure as yourself, you lucky chap....Having said that, the Diamond thinker quiz, 'fell into my lap' last week and with one lucky guess, the Diamond Thinker is sitting on my mantlepiece as we speak...
