I enjoyed the quiz, but was out of the loop most of yesterday, so just getting back into it before we clear another car load of junk to the nearest open civic amenity site (ie, council dump and recycling centre!). And I must not forget to mask-up and go for my mane shearing at 2pm after 4 months since the last one, just before we were all put under effective house arrest...speak_no_evil

 

Well done all, and thanks @Mi-Amigo

Hi @madasaf1sh 

As you`ll see from post above, @MI5 mentioned you with regards to our White Room Quiz.

Check out the first page to get some idea of what it is like, or feel free to pm me - @Mi-Amigo - if you have any questions.

It`d be great if you joined in with the other regulars in the next quiz on Monday.

Thanks again slight_smile thumbsup
