"Win yourself a cheap tray"

Sadly, as her answers were most amusing & indeed thought provoking (Betty Rubble, mmmmm) Ka is not the winner.
No, it has come down to a straight battle between "my girls".

So the correct answers are:
1. Snow Patrol
2. Rachel Green (Cheryl, I would've thought that YOU would know that Far Flung Friend is not fictional!)
3. 2
4. Come as you are
5. The pale green dream machine (I had a CAT named Alan!)
6. Vodka & Cranberry Juice
7. Kangaroo
8. N
9. Garbage
10. Enjoy the silence

So with 7 out of 10 the winner is....CHARBY!!!!

Thank you girls for playing with me (& I so wish I could say that in another scenario!!!)

By the way I still would've liked answers to the tie-break questions!
Still, one can't have everything, eh?
