:see_no_evil: Oh dear… my apologies to Whoopi Goldberg for thinking she was male! :rofl:

Also, very annoyed with myself for not knowing Freddie Mercury’s real name. Had no clue on that and yet I adore Queen.

Otherwise, I did better than I thought! :+1:t2:

@WillC my personal worsts are 3½ on @VanillaWithSprinkles food and drink round and 1½ on @Ace12345 General Knowledge round. If you go really niche on Music I’ll see if I can beat those! :rofl:

My point is give the subjects you don’t specialise in a go - you can’t be worse than me! :+1:t2:

Looking forward to the Music round and I’ll answer @MsSubExperimenter Grography when I have time to type and format properly :blush:
