Quiztime

Like most other blogs, this one is international. Consequently, setting quizzes can be problematic. I mean, it would be unfair and off-putting to most international visitors if I posed questions about English counties, Horatio Nelson or the history of Hull City A.F.C. (1904-2024). Even today, I am a little concerned that the proverbs that are familiar to me and my fellow citizens may be puzzling to those who dwell in distant lands. 

Yes my dear bloggoids, that is today's quiz theme - proverbs. But don't worry overmuch as I will give you multiple choice solutions for each proverb from which a single word or two has been removed. As usual answers will be given in "Comments". Good luck!
