OK Who let @Cleoriff loose with these questions?? 

Is this the result of too many voddies in Virtual Lounge last night celebrating 7 years on the Community?

I know it is "White Room Quiz - The Revenge" - but it ain`t "burn Mi-Amigo`s little grey cells" 

At first glance, there are 5/6 questions which I`m fairly confident I know the answers; but that said, there are some which I`ve got no idea and am gonna have to make wild guesses when the time comes... Thankfully I have got time to contemplate and have a good think - and as I promised I will not use any reference book, nor search google, wiki, youtube or internet sites...

Good luck to all those who are joining in...

Brilliant quiz with great questions. Thanks @Cleoriff

Thanks @Cleoriff 

That doesn`t make it any better... In fact, it makes it worse as the questions were set up in the cold light of day... 

[Cleoriff]

I'm off out for an hour so I'm not ignoring questions. Will answer any posted when I get back

[MI5]

I'm sure we can survive for an hour

That sounds like the voice of confidence @MI5 - far more than I have at this stage... 

[MI5]

Well it's been more than an hour now so I'm starting to fall apart

[Cleoriff]

I came back on the hour and saw you were 'managing' without me ....so left you to it

[MI5]

My life is now complete, again
