Very good, @BobM - made me laugh!  Well done all, Mace notwithstanding 👍

Thanks, @Mi-Amigo - watching the unexpurgated (yep!) version of Lady and the Tramp a while back helped, I had Aristocats ready to go in that one 😲

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @BobM and @pgn 

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

I thought the nutmeg tree question would be tricky and didn`t think so many would remember The Lady And The Tramp - and did not know there is an "unexpurgated version" @pgn 😂

[Cleoriff]

Damn Egypt! 😂 Mind you Q7 was a pure guess for me.

Lady and the Tramp has been a long time favourite of mine (despite the massively improved graphics on more recent Disney films)

Good game @Mi-Amigo, well done one and all.

[RafaC]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo and well done all!

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @Cleoriff 

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

I admit I included the footie question because Egypt (with Liverpool`s brilliant Mo Salah) played in the African Nations Cup Final this year. 

Thank you @RafaC 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your two stars.

Always thought those cats were too creepy, and daughter agrees!

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @gmarkj 

Well done on your award.

I agree the cats in Lady & The Tramp do appear a little creepy.

But they are 'Siamese if you please and Siamese if you don't please'...so I don't suppose they give a damn @Mi-Amigo  and @gmarkj 😂
