I've done a quiz on here before and it was well received, so now here is a massive one for your enjoyment. First of all, before you tackle it, a few points. A) There really will be a prize for this quiz. A real, genuine prize. Excited? B) Once this quiz is published, you have 2 weeks, then the competition will be closed and the answers revealed. C) For all cheats, especially you Mitchell Cashmore, don't try it. If you cheat, I will know. Do not try me on this. D) To enter, leave a comment, and in interests of fairness I won't publish comments until the fortnight is up. Got it? Great - go go go!

Well that's the quiz, folks. Good luck - remember, to take part, just leave a comment. This is going to stay as my main blog post for a little while now, for two reasons: 1) It gives you time to peruse it at your leisure, and 2) I'm going to be taking a "blogging holiday" for a bit, although I'll still probably drop in on other people's blogs. No doubt I'll come back in about a week refreshed and ready to go, armed with about 7 ridiculous Wendy Slark letters. Ciao for now!
