Well done @jonsie  and everyone else. Great game @Mi-Amigo and thanks. 😉

Seems like a couple of my answers, both pure guesses, went oddly - Tenby was good and the Bandy game was off. Well done @jonsie for the silver, and thanks for putting the game together, @Mi-Amigo 👍

[BobM]

Well done everyone. 👍

Good quiz, - thanks @Mi-Amigo

That quiz was savage for me, I would have only got two right! Although looking at the answers maybe I could have got more if I put my mind to it but woah that was hard considering Christmas is meant to be a time of good will and 'easier questions' Hehe.

Well done to those that played at the time though, some great scores there to be honest. 👏
