[Comben]

Sorry to have missed this one @Mi-Amigo I have no excuse and really just forgot to do as they days seem to fly by... How is it February this week?! Anyway I'm semi glad I missed it because I would have only got 3 right looking at the questions. Hehe (Not that that's actually any worse than normal for me! 🤣)

I will take on today's this week's Monday WRQ nice and early this week so I don't forget!

[Comben]

Oh and here's the gif I would have used to tell Mi-Amigo that I'd sent a PM... I wouldn't want y'all to miss out on that just because I didn't submit my answers in time! 😂
