Christ, that's 106 subjects if I've counted correctly.

I was hoping to a get lists of answers together - but half the subjects are too vague (how many surnames are there?) and the half thats listable would probably fill several books

Colin Pillinger

Wasn't he the chap behind the 'Beagle' space project? That unfortunately crash landed on Christmas Eve/Day the year before last?

Yep @ Matt.
He is the guy who does The Sky At Nighdt with Patrick More.

Maybe he could explain why the yanks are so exited about the camera that's cost them more than $700 million and takes pictures which look like black and white close-ups of wall bricks.

I suppose you should go for things where the answers are quite long (like days of the year, chinese takeaway etc) so even if you don't know it straight away you can almost always get it without losing lives.

Wow, thats tough. I'm happy if I put 7 up it.

I like playing indian/chinese - which usually results in me leaving the pub half-cut, hungry and in search of said items.

My mates - being sporting billies - normally go for something like footballers.

Don't you find you normally end up being caught with a choice from categories you don't like or do you plan ahead?

I wonder how many people in the world could tell you that without looking it up. Thankfully it is in the half-finished Hex database I made then got too bored to finish.

I couldn't get a copy of that database via PM at all could I please
