First one wrong, then...

Six

 

[Fnaar]

A most salubrious 6/7 ... I need to read up more about Ms Swift, it would seem. Otherwise, retirement is enabling me to use my time wisely by reading all the tripe at the far reaches of the news sites

Word up 7/7 complete guess at Swifty.

 

[Domus]

Four for me

 

[ebikeerwidnes]

6

which is amazing

did it when my wife commented that she got 6 and should have asked me about the one she got wrong

yup - the cycling one - which I also managed to get wrong!!
(dunno how - I must have at least have watched the highlights at the time!)

anyway - amazingly high score for me)

I remembered the spelling one because it was such a ridiculous word

just don;t ask me to spell it
(before "someone" comments - I can spell "it" - I just have no idea of how to spell the word on the spelling b)
