Welcome to

In case it looks odd that (@Cleoriff) is posting this and for those of you who are unaware, @Mi-Amigo has a hospital appointment this morning. To make sure there was no delay in Weds quiz questions being posted, this PM was sent to @Cleoriff before I left for the hospital this morning.

Good luck everyone.

[Cleoriff]

Pleased all went well at the hospital @Mi-Amigo  and thank YOU for making todays WRQ so easy to post. I wasn't expecting the stars or thinkers to be done, so when I opened your PM this morning, I was really chuffed.

Good that @MI5 reminded me to redo the names of the contestants... I hope everyone has got them now.
