I thought exactly the same @gmarkj 😂

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you for your comments @gmarkj and @Cleoriff .

Whilst looking through some of my old books over the weekend, I came across a couple of facts, which I used to come up with a couple of questions in this quiz. I don`t think these are hard or difficult but, as you both said, might need thinking about.

Good luck both of you, and everyone else who wants to have a go at the quiz, I look forward to the pm with your answers later.

Hmm....

Calmness... 😖

Getting in there early for this WRQ!!

Brontophobia...now that is a new one on me.  Looking forwards to the answer.

Maybe I have even got it correct....not likely....but maybe 😁

Truly a tasty set of questions these, @Mi-Amigo 😅. Will have a think and get some answers to you soon.

@RafaC is away for a couple of days, so I wonder if he'll be kicking himself for missing the Brazillian themed question...
