@Cleoriff

I admit that some of the questions might need a bit of thinking about and might test the grey cells but the good news is there is no QI-style question where the answers is not what most people think

I look forward to pm with your 15 answers. Good luck.

I must admit, I'm far better with questions from the past. Long term memory is good. Short term? Not so much (Having said that, there are a few I'm fairly confident of)

PS.. you won't be getting THIS at just gone 12 md

Yip - a few shots in the dark for this one, @Cleoriff. It's not like many of us have the newspapers to go back to any more, I gave up reading those rags years ago. A cunning quiz format, @Mi-Amigo! 📖👍
