In view of the tremendous surge of indifference that greeted the last one of these, here's another.. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/Gmxf9cQs/shakehead.gif)
Twenty-six questions, each answer starting with a different letter of the alphabet. Some of the clues are precise, some deliberately vague, some quirky or cryptic . The clues are not in any sort of order.
Unless stated otherwise, when the answer is a name, the surname is what is required. When a title or phrase is needed, it’s the first word of the title or phrase that counts (excluding definite and indefinite articles, both English and foreign!). Feel free to Google after the first 24 hours.
Grab a couple if the mood takes you...
