ANSWERS:

1. Ipswich, Suffolk
2. Joseph Barbera
3. Peter Boyle
4. Yup Santa! Mr Worley said = Disney had told him "Santa was considered a Disney character". (*coughs* Luckily for Baby Jesus Walt was an atheist!)
5. The winner was "You" - that is, us - and to make sure we got the message, when we look at Time we see ourselves in a mirror embedded in the cover. Actually, the You is not quite all of us, merely those of us who have contributed to the growth of the internet and all it contains - for instance blogging and participating in YouTube, MySpace or other "user-generated" sites. (The Guardian)
6. A report from four University of Washington researchers reveals that security flaws in the new RFID-powered device from Nike and Apple make it easy for tech-savvy stalkers, thieves and corporations to track your movements. With just a few hundred dollars and a little know-how, someone could even plot your running routes on a Google map without your knowledge. (Wired)
7. Wii
8. Fabio Cannavaro - oh and apologies, I didn't say male so you 'could' have said Marta (Brazilian FIFA female player of year) even though ptii wouldn't have made sense.
9. He was the first defender to win (might have been the oldest too Adam)
10. The Ashes - Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi!

BONUS: Idomeneo - I was particularly amused reading this piece that one cleric actually said that the purpose of opera was "not to mix religion, art and politics." (Reuters)

WINNER: Adam
