(Copied from the 2017 thread)

As every year of late the BBC are doing a 'quiz of the year'.
As every year I am linking to it on here
Just count our scores each day
Like the Sporcle, just post your scores honestly on here and we'll tally it up. Highest score by New Year wins.
No googling, no cheating, no clues, no discussing answers etc

Rubbish - been out of the country too much this year so not up to date on the 'second tier' news stories

I thought this would be about current affairs

. Instead it's more "fancy that" type news that you get on social media and which I'm not that interested in. That's my excuse anyway!

Think it has very slowly drifted that way over the many years we have done this. Either that or, as I get older, I pay less attention to the second-tier/fancy-that news.

Today's 8 was therefore a tad lucky.

Thought I'd blown when changing my correct penultimate answer for a wrong one, only to see one I actually knew come up at the end. Phew.
