Wow! I'll have a go - but will you be publishing the answers afterwards?

I think my score may well end up at the "miserable" end of the scale. Like being back at school. Must try harder. Oh my god, here comes another flashback!

I know three, off the top of my head. :eek:

Good list, pib! I can imagine you as a particularly-trollied Paxman, bellowing at cowering Heartland nerds, etc. etc.

yes, it's a rerun of an old comp for fun. I think the happening got them all last time, most got between 2 & 10 :?

7, possibly 8 if it is what I think it is (and I'm guessing it's probably not).

Love the way most of these seem to have an obvious answer that's not actually correct.

Two and three halves, although I could probably get to about 11 with a little research. The rest made my brains dribble out through my ears.

get to know all that much about The Sisters until I joined here ... :( : :oops: : :wink: : ...

So what's the first prize? A candle-lit supper with Von I assume, given the fact that probably nobody got all the answers right?
