Happy with that - well done everyone, and thanks @Mi-Amigo 

[Oxonian]

I did say @Mi-Amigo that i thought they were a hard set of questions ; that prediction was very astute ! 

Anyway, thank you as usual for organising and well done to everyone else. 👍

[TallTrees]

A Thinker again!

Phew brain must have found a gear somewhere 😅 

Thank you for the quiz @Mi-Amigo 

Well done everyone. 

Next time 

Geography.. OK

TV .. not good

Words.. the words ? Well I like words but the ones found for the quiz are usually extremely obscure...so no good

Sport.. horribilis 😄

So good bye Thinker 👋 

😂

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @pgn @BobM @Cleoriff @MI5 @gmarkj @Oxonian @TallTrees 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards.

I`ve sorted out the questions for Monday`s WRQ - with a mixed bag, so a few guesses might pay off.

I hope everyone will enjoy Monday`s WRQ and wish everyone "Good luck"

p.s. sorry for late post/reply had connection issue late yesterday/earlier today,

I am looking forward to Monday's quiz and what it might entail ; for me, things can really only get better from last Wednesday's dismal performance. 👍

Disappointed to hear that you are still having internet problems ; they seem to have been going on for ages.
