Thanks @Mi-Amigo great WRQ quiz. 👍

I feel enlightened on the ones I got wrong, although do forgive me if I forget Mick Jagger and Paul McCartneys wives in future. 😅 Hope to get some better scores next week but until then enjoy your weekends everyone. 🎉

Enjoyed this one, @Mi-Amigo - even if I could not remember Bianca's maiden name 😱

Thanks for running it 👍
