[Comben]

Damn! I scored a nil point and I'm heartbroken to say the least, I thought I knew some of the answers but clearly not. 😅 I feel like Jemini from the Eurovision Song Contest back in 2003, gave it my all and fell short, very short!

There is only one way I can go from here though so it the words of Muhammad Ali "Success is not achieved by winning all the time. Real success comes when we rise after we fall." I will be back next time @Mi-Amigo and thanks again for the WRQ's.
