Thanks @Cleoriff @pgn  @Marjo  @MI5 @jonsie  @Anonymous for your kind comments

I`m really pleased you all enjoyed this week`s quiz.

Next week`s will be another "themed" one. I`ll work on the categories [they`ll be chosen from the usual ones, so no "odd" ones next week] and questions over the weekend and post a teased as Advanced Notice on Monday.
