I've put together a big end of year forum quiz for anyone who'd like to take part! It's eight rounds and FIFTY (thanks James ) questions. Now, we are going to have to employ a certain degree of trust here. Most the answers could be Googled fairly easily - although not all!

I've included a ready formatted answer sheet in the spoiler tags below for anyone who wants to join in, and please could anyone playing make sure they post their own answers in spoilers too, so it doesn't spoil it for anyone else.
