I literally write those as I scratch my head about the answers.  When I saw your waterfall gif, I thought wonder if @Cleoriff has been to that weird named waterfall.

Love to think that there is a waterfall naming committee out there somewhere ?

Thank you @Mi-Amigo - good quiz.

Well done everyone 👍

[lewys-gp]

Appreciate the half star, @Mi-Amigo 😂😅! Thanks for sorting and well done, all.

[MI5]

Well done all @Mi-Amigo 👍

[Cleoriff]

Firstly, well done @Mi-Amigo for managing to sort this with 2/3 of the damn forum missing!

Secondly well done everyone else.

Look forward to Mondays quiz which I sincerely hope doesn't need to be 'pinned' as that means the forum is still a damn mess!🙄

[pgn]

Well done, all - I'd grace this with a gif, based on Cluedo, I thought...

Thanks, @Mi-Amigo for another sterling effort in the face of adversity 🤫😉👍
