Nicknames category sounds interesting for next week @Mi-Amigo !

My guess 'Robert' for the first question was 100% a guess so pretty happy about it. What are the chances that was actually his name. grin

Yes @Cleoriff Twister! That's it. I did used to play it some years ago @Mi-Amigo but maybe not every day after work though LOL
