I thought these were pretty tough so you are getting through them quicker than I thought. I've updated the quiz with some clues to help with the harder quotes...

@Holly - you were close enough so I allowed it!


Oi, I wasn't just close, I had it right.
It was Cher's son Chaz (daughter back then) whose quote that was, not Cher's, right?
Read it again.
Ok, so misspelled Cher's name, I called her Chair, big deal :gigglesnshit:
But I still think I had it right :snooty:


Your challenge has been reviewed by VAR and I confirm the correct answer remains as Cher. The quizmaster's decision is final.

The right answer definitely isn't Chair.

But the right answer wasn't Chair, or Cher anyway, I never said it was, it was Chaz, just like I said :woteva:
But OK, I suppose I grudgingly have to take the quiz masters decision as being final :grrrrr:

He’s being pedantic Holly, but, as the quizmaster, that is his right :thumbsup:

On a separate note, the clues aren’t really helping, they’re so vague.

Cut us some slack please Avon.
