I hear those words, when I have a low scoring day “pay attention, read the question properly, and think before you answer”…….

You sound just like my old teacher,

and use a cane for more than just walking support??

I researched this year's ago and I'm positive the actual day started in the UK which surprised me as I thought either Italian or Greek. But Saint Valentine was definitely Roman. But Valentines Day has nothing to do with Saint Valentine

Really doesn't matter except for the fact that was my mums birthday, she used to think I was terrible because I always got pissed on her day If was away at work.

Bonus question for the Trivia addicts who did the same quiz on Thursday.

The usual 80%. however, Question 8 is poorly worded.

No mention of water vapour which is a major player in the greenhouse gas scheme of things, but varies anywhere from 0% to 4%, dependent on local climate, temperature and location.

Hi guys this is a repeat
