I admit there are a couple of "head-scratchers" - but at least there is no QI-style question.

Good luck @Cleoriff . Look forward to pm with your eight answers any time after 12 noon today.

Ah well @Mi-Amigo ...with me, there are some questions I know, some I have to think about, some I have to think a lot harder about.

Then there are those I wouldn't know the answer if you beat me with an iron pole (or offered me a prize of meeting Cap'n Jack)
