TGIF: Thank god it's friday #001

It's the end of the week and welcome to my first crack at creating Trivia questions! I've been going to Trivia at my local pub every week for the last year or so and I have really grown to love the game! Although I am confident that my crew are definitely at the bottom of the leaderboards week-to-week, it really has been a great time to grab some drinks and learn a bunch of new things.

Which leads me here, I've been inspired to start crafting trivia questions and I wanted a place to share them. I am going to be challenging myself in creating 10 new questions with a varying theme every week posted on Fridays, hoping to improve on my quiz making skills. I hope you enjoy!

This inaugural week of questions is a simple connection. All the questions are not related in any way but the answers to each of are connected in some way. What might that connection be?

Lest get into the questions!
