Thank you @MI5 @TheresaV @Cleoriff @TallTrees 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards

 

As to Monday`s WRQ Bank Holiday special, the only clue I can give is the questions might - in some way be related to the May Bank Holiday Whistle yahoo. I`m sure everyone will find it fun, with the mix of easier, and not-so-easy questions... and maybe a couple will be Thinking

Hit one or two right there @Mi-Amigo   Thank you for marking my efforts and very well done 

all.

In this particular Quizz I had some knowledge because:

 

I grow pears and have 4 trees  William bon Chretien, Doyenne du Comice also the Conference this one is the easiest to fruit ~ the others very fussy sometimes fruit sometimes : pas de fruits.

 

Movies not much chance there, need to see hundreds to know any detail then wouldn't retain any knowledge probably fall asleep nerd  Might hit on one I know sometime! 

 

Some Kings and Queens are ok ~ however my knowledge is quite limited as can only know about some events.  This one was ok ~ I think he was Queen Victoria's Uncle and she succeeded him when he died.

Small fact but known by me!  

 

Birds ~ generally ok ~  but not every detail so very interesting.  I have kept birds and bred birds and helped wild birds, they are wonderful.  There is not enough time in my life to know every detail but it is very enjoyable. Always ready to know more.

 

Cheeses ~ well I stick to the Cheddar and look at the others as fanciful so don't know it all but bring it on...I can try!

 

Wars ~ well had some interest in these. China of interest lately especially in the opium wars, 

surprising that it is now ~ persona non grata

 

Interesting the one on Rodents ~ don't know that detail, I probably did read it at some time but couldn't retain the information.

 

Thanks for the interesting questions ~ being extremely varied is good, can always get one or two right and learn something from the others. 

 

Thanks again bye for now TALLTREES

Wonderful quiz, apart from the king and battle - although William IV fathered 9 FitzClarence sprogs whilst he was the Duke of Clarence and St. Andrews, quite an achievement. Sadly, as King, none of daughters or sons by the Queen survived. For this alone, he sticks in my memory.

The gif, comes from Mother, the AI computer on the USSCS Nostromo, this was my second choice of clip:

Volume up a bit.

Thanks, @Mi-Amigo for a question from one of my fave, if scary, films - the only one I ever bunked off school one afternoon to go see, aged about 16. The big screen sucked you in... The content made you sprint the 500m from the bus-stop to your house, after dark, for maybe 3 weeks after 😱

Well done, all!

Thank you @TallTrees

It`s always interesting to hear which subjects appeal and which someone knows something about.

That`s one of the reasons why I try and give a different mix of categories with each WRQ.

 

Thank you @pgn 

I didn`t catch on to what your gif referred to.

As to the Alien movie, I bunked off school to watch it. It wasn`t the scariest movie I saw when I was younger - that was the original The Omen which scared the whatsit out of me scream

 

Thank you @TheresaV 

Pleased you are looking forward to Monday`s WRQ and I`m sure you`ll come up with some correct answers, maybe some guesses; and some to make us laugh joy
