Huge congrats to our Christmas quiz winner, Alessandro, absolutely storming into the lead with a whopping 33.5 points! There was a real neck-and-neck battle going on between Evil Genius and sn3j that was really fun to keep track of too. Nail-biting stuff! Well done to everyone though, I'm super impressed that you all go so far into it all without any extra clues. It was a lot to get through and some of was really tough. Huge thanks to Van_Dammesque for his crossword, and for the fantastic spot the difference puzzles which I thought were a brilliant idea.

So, yeah, that wraps up a year of Friday quizzes (well, from me at least). It's been emotional. As usual, I've been GreenCard, you've all been wonderful. Hope you all enjoy the rest of your festive season. Be excellent to each other. Many thanks for playing. :)

Ta for the great quiz fellas. I'm still doing the crossword and avoiding the answers, my printout of it has travelled a few miles over the past few days and is still way off being finished.

I'll try. I did rugby tackle a pensioner in Lush during the Boxing Day sales yesterday, but I'll put that behind me.
