Top-notch, as usual, @Mi-Amigo - and well done all!

Bruiser stuck, as it's a Chihuahua, not, as you might think from the name, a Bulldog 🥊Surprised

Thank you @pgn 

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

What`s interesting with regards to the Elle`s dog question is two quizzers - @LukasB and @TheresaV - gave the full name "Bruiser Woods". But "No", there`s no bonus for that ******-bit of information joy

Thank you @TallTrees 

Pleased you liked the quiz and well done on getting a Red Thinker.

I wouldn`t say the Bronze Thinker is elusive, it can depend on the categories and what the questions are.

I haven`t looked for the questions yet, but you never know, you might have a chance with Monday`s WRQ.

@TheresaV and @LukasB 

Yes Elle`s dog`s full name is Bruiser Woods but I couldn`t penalise everyone who gave just Bruiser as an answer - I`m not that mean
