Same here, I didn't expect answers so quickly 
Well done everyone.
The two I initially struggled with were the same two I'd answered back in the day when other half wrote quizzes for clubs and bars in Spain i.e the Battle of Pinkie and the wine question.
Thanks for a great quiz @Mi-Amigo
Errmmm...I notice my worst subject is in the next quiz! PHYSICS meh!

Thank you @pgn @BobM @Cleoriff and @MI5
I was up early so thought I`d get on with the results which take longer now.
Pleased you all enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards.
The Boomtown Rats question caught a few people out - and was rated "difficult" in the quiz book I took it from.
As I said, the Battle of Pinkie question was also rated "difficult" and one of the battles I`d never heard of.
I hope all of you like some of the categories for Monday`s WRQ, although I know that Physics is not one of @Cleoriff `s favourite subjects.

Not too bad 3 stars *** when subjects include movies, tv and or singers
guessed Bob Dylan ~ thought Glastonbury and then put in IOW as only other large festival venue I know! Marmalade nearly didn't remember that one.
Well done all ...... especially @BobM reaching for the stars BobM 😀
I wondered about the blue fish was when I was selecting my Nemo picture!
Thank you for the information ~ Dory it is ~ @Mi-Amigo

@TallTreesRe Bob Dylan, he actually gave up playing at Woodstock in the US to come to the IOW. Needless to say that concert could have sold out 3 times over when people knew we had bagged Dylan. 150,000 people went.
We wanted to go but had just given birth, so didn't think we could make it
