Three good ones to start with! wave

No wonder they changed it, Bernie. If you were driving and were a bit deaf..... Oops!

Mrs Worrier loved them both Lady K, but I was just a little put off by the use of cartoon animation to portray discoveries etc in the Tyson version. Still, we have them both, and it's nice to rerun them now and again

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

Sorry for the delay - Mrs Worrier and myself have both been battling the dreaded you know what. Still we've got past the "go away and let me suffer in peace" bit and it's looking good.

A great set of answers finishes it off nicely folks. Never seen that before, Cheryl - I will now be in the same position as you hardwall

Saw a greeting card the other day that said, "Why don't ants catch coronavirus?"

...Because they have ant-i-bodies.

On a serious note, Rog, I wish you and Mrs. Worrier a speedier recovery!

Ditto what's been said Urban Worrier. Glad you are both on the mend and that you have no lingering effects.
