Hi @Mi-Amigo 

A Red Thinker is very good and a 🌟 better still. 2 considered guesses so no genius 🤣🤣

Thank you very much for the quiz. 

Are we having a "themed" quiz soon?

Of course,  trouble is if it's movies,  actors unworthy politicians and old artists not to mention naming craters on the planets I'm finished 😆😅🤣😂😛

Well done everyone ☺ 👏 👍 

[MI5]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo and well done all.

[Cleoriff]

@TallTreesI see you didn't need any help with Wellard the dog! My help for £50 wasn't required. Bah Humbug!! 😂

Well done everyone and thanks @Mi-Amigo xx
