Cleopas, this is just too difficult!!

I might have got Greenock though

Honestly, they're not that difficult. The clues are in the questions. I deliberately made some very easy to get you all back into the way I think. It's frightening how quick Bob gets into that mode. :shock:

You might think they're tough ... but when you see all the answers, you'll kick yourself and say ... "Damn ... that was so easy."
