It’s Sunday, week 99 of lockdown, or so it seems. Which means yet another week of no Fagan’s theme quiz.
Even I missed the last two weeks, hence this weeks theme.
Its the usual 20 questions, again. Just have to imagine the sounds, sights and smells of Fagan’s on a Sunday.
The theme alternates – hopefully, you’ll get the hang of it. You should have got how this works this by now.
There may be some “sound-a-likes” and embedded words.
The use of electronic devices to divine the answers, with the exception of hearing aids and pacemakers, is forbidden.
