Thank you @MI5 and @Cleoriff 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz.

I thought the last question - who was winner of 2nd I`m A Celebrity - was the hardest TV question we`ve had.

It was. I think there have been 20 series of IACGMOOH and I've watched everyone. I struggled with that one. I thought is was John Fashanu but then I remembered he came 2nd. 😂

Well, I guess cobbles don't come out of gravel pits, so I know now that sabots relate to sabotage, and not to the word you had asked about 😂

 

Good quiz, @Mi-Amigo and a good uptake too, despite the gnarly words. Must apricate more, when I get a chance 😁

That really was a tough WRQ for me and rock bottom cements that argument. 😂


Well done to everyone else though especially those that earned a Thinker. Onwards and Upwards for me in the Monday WRQ. 

 

Thanks Mi-Amigo, love the ranging difficulties of the WRQ's.
