Blimey, well done everyone.

I took a punt on Alice to be fair. Nearly gave 3 options but luckily guessed the right one.

Oh and I have met Alice Cooper. My godson played in Sisters of Mercy who backed them at the NEC. I had a backstage pass. (just thought I'd throw that in to show off)

[gmarkj]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo, and well done to all.
Enjoyed this week.

[pgn]

Well done all, and thank you @Mi-Amigo!

Nice to see everyone toeing the line, smiled the Cheshire Cat, cheesily - hope nobody got the hump! 😉

Anyone get Alice's other grandmother in Q7? 😁

[Cleoriff]

@pgn  Princess Helena of  somewhere?

[MI5]

Well done everyone 👍

[Cleoriff]

By the way, enjoyed the quiz a lot @Mi-Amigo 

A welcome relief from the madness.

[Marjo]

Enjoyed the quiz too. Congrats guys and thanks @Mi-Amigo !

I got no stars, but I did guess correctly that you'd include an Alice Cooper question so in my mind I got something right.

The very one, @Cleoriff 👍

My old copy of Pear's Cyclopedia was handy for that. Sits next to my copy of the Merck Manual from 1982 or so 😝

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you, @Cleoriff , @gmarkj , @Anonymous , @pgn , @MI5 , @Marjo for your kind comments and I`m pleased you all enjoyed the quiz - even those who didn`t manage to get a star this week.

@pgn 

Thanks for the extra fact about Alice`s other grandmother.

Interesting that you have an old copy of Pears Cyclopedia - so do I!  

[jonsie]

Well done people, enjoyed the quiz @Mi-Amigo 

I knew Alice Cooper's real name was Vincent but no idea of his surname so thanks for the half

Roll on next week's quiz
