AnswersAnswers
  1. It was Andre Agassi in his autobiography, Open. Boxer Joe Calzaghe danced like a plank of wood before exiting Strictly Come Dancing; Barbara Windsor announced she is to leave the BBC soap after 15 years; and TV chef Gordon Ramsay admitted having cosmetic surgery on his chin furrows.
  2. It's ecstasy, said Professor David Nutt, who headed the government's Advisory Committee on the Misuse of Drugs before he was sacked in October. He listed cannabis in 10th position.
  3. It's John on the left, Edward on the right. Like Ant and Dec, they try to always stand on the same side to help people differentiate. Their differences are subtle - John is an inch taller, has pierced ears (but no earrings) and his right ear is slightly pointy.
  4. It's "nuclear". An estate agent advertised "an exceptional fisherman's cottage" in Kent for £247,000, but didn't mention the neighbours were Dungeness A and B.
  5. It was the Shires town - Abingdon in Oxfordshire to be precise. Click NEXT to complete the picture.
  6. Last plinther Emma Burns - picture 2 - released balloons in memory of the victims of 1989's Hillsborough disaster.
  7. It's "I am far short of perfect" and the golfer also apologised to his family for his "transgressions". Of the others, apology 1 is from US presidential hopeful John Edwards; apology 3 is David Letterman; and apology 4 is Bill Clinton.
  8. Students had to pay 30p. This teasing relationship with a key readership continued with the strip Student Grant, about a student with a rather rude name who read Peace Studies.
  9. Chris Evans is 43, nine years older than Sir Terry Wogan was when he first broadcast for Radio 2 in 1972.
  10. It's David Beckham, for England against Belarus in October. Even his coach expressed surprise. "After eight months as president he [Obama] won the Nobel Prize and after 30 minutes David won the man of the match," said Fabio Capello.
  11. It's five years old.
  12. It was Jeff Buckley, who recorded his version in 1994. Leonard Cohen's orginal track, first released in 1984, reached number 36.
