Some people see things as they are and ask "Why?"; I dream of things that never were and ask "Why not?"

Thanks for your comment @MI5

As I said, although there is no QI-style question this time, there are a couple which I think might need a bit of thinking about.

Good luck and I look forward to pm with your eight answers any time after 12 noon today.

Re Q8, do you want the full name, or will the christian name suffice?

To be fair, and as there are a couple of not-so-easy questions this time, I`ll accept just the christian name as an answer [no bonus for knowing the full name] I have amended the question accordingly.
