Thanks @Mi-Amigo for another great quiz.

I'm afraid I got my George mixed up with my Henry.

Well done everyone, good scores 👍

[Cleoriff]

Red Hot Chili Peppers did it for me this week as expected. Well done everyone

Great quiz @Mi-Amigo, Thanks.

Wow. Couple of guesses paid off, but had no clue about the lizard.

Well done everyone, and thanks @Mi-Amigo

Well, well, well - an 8-month-old monarch, eh? I guess the infant King's hangers-on were pleased about that in the early years, until the child reached the "age of reason".  Then he organised a Love Day to try to unite the factions responsible for the Wars of the Roses - first hippy King? 🙃

Good quiz, @Mi-Amigo - and a record-breaking spread of stars and thinkers 🤣

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @BobM @Cleoriff @gmarkj @pgn 

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

This quiz was tough.

@Cleoriff and @gmarkj only just missed out [by one correct answer] on getting a Silver Thinker

and @Spenny only missed out [by one correct answer] on getting a Red Thinker.

I was thinking, I should have put xxx as my answer to some of the questions.  Seeing the answers though, I was no where close 🤣🤣 so would not have even got the one more correct answer
