@Mi-Amigo Early response to the WRQ this week.

 

Getting my error strewn answers in early, as no work today.

 

1. I remember the rhyme for which of Henry’s wives lost and kept their heads.  Unfortunately, it was not by name and did not include their birth place. So here goes a guess. 

2. Musicals….hmmm….I have gone by the names which I do not recognise and taken yet another guess.

3. Can only remember the name of one western movie actor, so I’ll just go with that

4. The Olympics was just on and fortunately I remember the colours, so at least one point.  A bit like UK at Eurovision.

5. Well, no idea, so lets pick the first place that comes to mind and hope that my mind has dredged up the correct information

6. Music is definitely not my chosen subject.  Going for a pass on that one. Would be amazing if pass was the actual answer.

7. Oh man, that is one that I should know. I will guess hoping for the best.

8. No….no….nothing in my mind…..

@Cleoriff @Mi-Amigo I am realising that I may be better at a pub quiz because of the liquid logic I take on before hand.  Will have to put that to the test one day with one of these WRQs 😂

@Cleoriff love the gif.  When I first saw that film, back in the day, it was Marty turning the box cart into a skateboard that I remember most.  Not enough to answer any questions on it obviously @Mi-Amigo just in case that gives you any ideas 😶
