Woohoo - have a heart, @Mi-Amigo 🤣

Actually, upon reflection, some are OK - nose to the grindstone later on, methinks. 

Good luck everyone!

Thank you @pgn for your comment.

Yes there are a couple of questions which might need thinking about but at least there is no QI-style question [where the answer is not what most people think].

 

Thank you @TheresaV for your comment.

Yes, starting the quiz with a "romantic question" - NOT!! joy Hope there are some questions you like or know the answers to.
