It's Friday - annoying puzzle day! Page 51
I'll give you that, it's near enough.
I've got todays Quiz as well so I'll post that in a sec, so we're up to speed.
Oh And I remember the Neighbours now, which I did get at the time I hasten to add.
It was vaguely topical at the time.
Here's todays offering, or as many of the 20 as I could fit into a picture.
1. Press Gang
2. Jack Brabham?
7. The Queen Mum, Gawd love an' bless 'er. She was there in the Blitz just like us.
6. Okapi
8. Jeremy Thorpe? ! 
11. China
1, 2 & 6 & 7 are correct
There's still a few on the last one if you're interested Oldrocker

1,2,4,5,6,9,11,12 & 13 still going
I am, I am Father. G'won, G'won, G'won, G'won, G'won, G'won,
BTW, can we call it Ayers Rock anymore? Isn't it Umbigumi or something?
1 isn't Mary Seacole is it? Doesn't look black enough tho'.
6 Beatrice?
11. I'm tempted by dandy but not sure why.
The astronomy question irks me. Please tell me the answer isn't Proxima Centauri.
Erm, Eris?
Mary Seacole yes
Beatrice yes
Astronomy - Neptune
And I qoute "However you read the question Neptune is sometimes outside of Pluto's orbit"
Sorry not quote - paraphrase.
- now I know what that emoticon is for.
Not sure which one we're doing or if the answers came out already, but #9 is Mata hari.
Is a round of play in Bridge called a Bid?

Neptune has a dozen or so satellites. So when Neptune is outside Pluto's orbit, a bunch of its moons will be between Pluto and Neptune, making them better answers to the question.
Your question setter isn't a QI researcher, perchance?
Is #8 fisting your servants?

He doesn't do too bad though, at least he makes them a bit tricky
The Neptune one wasn't his finest hour.

No, it's the farthing!
When I was about 50 years younger, you could get pissed as a fart for a farthing and still have the bus fare home!
