so, some of you thought that you could avoid last night’s #harlequiz by being on holiday/in hospital/otherwise engaged/barred/asleep, did you? ha!
usual(ish) rules apply – 25 questions, there is a theme running through the answers (or is there … ?); each answer is a word of phrase that links with the theme; you might occasionally have to put two consecutive answers together to make a whole answer; there may very well be some awful sound-a-likes. pictures for the picture questions attached.
so, don your tinfoil hats, and crack on with the quiz. good luck!
