  3. France
  4. Oh dear, no good on president numbers… not even sure when the 16th was… we’re on 46 now, right? Maybe? So a fair while ago and to be a question probably a well known president so a well known president, later than Washington and before Kennedy… um… Abraham Lincoln?
  5. Clemmie (Clementine)
💩 Art and Literature
  1. Buffy the Vampire Slayer?

  3. They sound like insane morons so while normal people, if forced to do it, would probably pick at least a wet suit I’m going to say these wear nothing and do it all naked?
  4. Grits? No idea what they’re made from but they’re Southern US breakfast aren’t they?
  5. A break sounds like Pool or Snooker, Bowled sounds like Cricket… combining both… Lawn Bowls? Oh but it’s the ball you want um, the Jack in Lawn Bowls :woman_shrugging:t2:

Thanks for the quiz Mr Chimp :blush:

Okay… here goes…

😂 Comedy
  1. :woman_shrugging:t2: Not seen it
  2. Goldie Hawn and Kirt Russell if I’ve got the right film?
  3. Harvard
  4. Simon Pegg stars… don’t know if he co-wrote it though?
  5. Seen it, can picture her… can’t name her.
🎞 Classic
  1. :woman_shrugging:t2: Not a clue
  2. One I know hooray - Hurcule Poirot
  3. Is that Michael Caine’s character?
  4. :woman_shrugging:t2: Pass
  5. :woman_shrugging:t2: Another pass - no clue.
💥 Action
  1. Star Wars is the first thing I know her from… must have been something before that though :thinking:
  2. Man On Fire - Love this film!
  3. Tommy Lee Jones - watched the latest Men in Black recently, enjoyed it, think I missed the one before it though.
  4. The Matrix trilogy obviously!
  5. Sean Connery - another great film
🐻 Kids
  1. Chicken Run maybe? Sure the rooster is Rocky.
  2. The Lion King :lion: - My favourite Disney film!
  3. The Incredibles
  4. Not a clue, Who Framed Roger Rabbit has a baby in a suit who helps… rather before 2017 though :joy:
  5. Not seen it I’m afraid.

Surprisingly pleasing Action performance, depressingly poor Classic performance and normal pretty dire Comedy and Kids.

We just watched The Mule tonight - really good, I recommend it!
